SING!
Yes!
I am not talking about the songs that make you cry or the ones that make you moody or sad. I am talking about the songs that lift your spirits. They can be gentle or fast, just sing. Do you need to know that science backs this up?  (I'm told that the positive effects of music on the immune system can last for hours or even days!) Would you like to hear that there are those who believe that the Heavenly realms are made up of music. Does any of that matter to you right now? 
Sing or hum, make some music with your voice. Move some, bang on the table. Repeat.
Don't take my word for it. 
Do your own experiment. Chart the results if you want to. 
At least give it a try. 

Need ideas for a song to sing?
Try "Three Little Birds" by Bob Marley

Please share the songs you love to sing in the comments! 
(Did I ever mention that I love comments??)
You can do this!
Love,
Aunt Laya

Everyone knows that a happy person attracts more happiness. Only sometimes ya just don't feel like acting all happy.  That's OK. You don't have to feel all perky all the time. On the other hand, you don't have to hang on to bad moods either. Here's a tip:  one of the fastest ways to lift your spirits is to do something to lift the spirits of someone else.
