1 . Feeling tired and stressed? You are not alone.     1     The good news is that you have the power to influence your mood(情绪). Develop some of these habits to improve your mood in 10 minutes or less.

●Start your day with a short morning workout.

Modest amounts of exercise first thing in the morning can set you up for a good day. You can do some jumping jacks, run for a few minutes, go for a bike ride or take your dog for a walk around the block.     2    

●Remove clutter(杂乱) to reduce stress.

Clutter can easily cause stress-and stress contributes to poor sleep, which can also affect your overall productivity and general health.     3     Reducing the “clutter” in our lives-physical, digital or psychological-allows us to deal with stressors head-on.

●Write down three things that went well today.

What went well? This simple question can help you focus on all the good things that happen in your life every day. At the end of your day, look back and find three things that went well. Reflect on them, and even replay them in your mind, revisiting those good feelings. This exercise focuses your attention on the positive experiences in your day and away from the negative.     4     You can practice this habit every night, right before you go to bed.

Starting a new project you care about can be the healthy distraction(消遣) you need to improve your mood, reduce stress and increase your sense of accomplishment. You can use your mornings just before your normal work routine or an hour of your evening to accomplish some pretty amazing things.
