How to Wake Up Happy

It is very important to wake up in a happy mood that will last all day and help you face the stressful world.

What you can do before you go to sleep:
1. Pretend you are in a "spa" for 30 minutes; take a hot bath with salts, put some lotion on your feet, hands, body, a mask on your face, even give yourself a massage (you can do your feet, your face); it will relax you and your skin will thank you as well;

2. Read a book that will transport you to a different world, and make you forget about your problems and stress;

3. Read blogs about personal development; there are a few good ones out there that are updated frequently, and will help you feel good about yourself, about life, will teach you how you can cope with stress and finally will give you a positive attitude;

4. Don't eat anything greasy or heavy on your stomach; the digestion will be difficult and you won't get a restful sleep; if you feel hungry, eat something light, like a soup, a salad, a sandwich; also try to avoid chocolate, anything with caffeine, or citrus fruits (will keep you up and you will have a hard time falling asleep);

5. Drink hot cocoa with milk, tea that's soothing and relaxing (Chamomile, Linden, Valerian, etc.), use honey instead of sugar;

6. Play with your pet a little bit; I have a cat and that's what I do; it helps you relax, feel like a kid again, and your friend will appreciate it too;

7. Try not to do anything stressful, like talking on the phone, working, watching the news, looking at your bills, or any activity that might worry you;

8. If you have a hobby like writing, drawing, painting, knitting, practice it for a few minutes, it will relax you and give you the satisfaction that you haven't neglected your favorite activity;

9. I like to make a list of the good things that happened during the day and what I accomplished; and also put down things that I could do the following day, like something that I always wanted to do and never did, or something fun that I will be part of tomorrow; this makes you feel happy and excited about the day ahead;
