In today's fast­paced and sometimes uncaring society, it can be challenging to find anything to lift your spirits when you feel sad.In spite of how bad things may appear，there are some things you can do to get happy and enjoy your day.__1__

Get yourself an attitude of gratitude.For centuries，people over the world have recognized how powerful gratitude is when it comes to lifting one's spirits.Frequently we are so caught up in what we lack that we fail to recognize all that we possess.Often，we are only reminded of the blessings present in our world when we meet someone worse off than we are or when those blessings are no longer a reality.__2__ Keep a list of things for which you are grateful — in case you need to jog your memory.

Brighten someone’s day.It may be you who are feeling the blues，but when you brighten someone else's day，yours automatically becomes brighter.Smiles spread easily.__3__

Get some fresh air.Fresh air refreshes the senses and makes you more likely to get up and do something rather than sit there in an unpleasant mood.__4__ Even just walking in your flower or vegetable garden will do the trick.

__5__ Because the heart rate and breathing rate increase during exercise, a greater amount of oxygen is delivered to the body tissue.In addition to relieving stress, heightened physical activity will decrease the level of the stress hormone (荷尔蒙).As such, your mood can quickly change from a state of stress to one of joyfulness.

A.Get some exercise.

B.Be thankful for what you have.

C.Here are some great ways to lift your spirits.

D.Go for a walk with a friend or take a bike ride.

E.Do what you can to start an outbreak of happy faces.

F.This promotes the production of the body's natural pain relievers.

G.Organize cupboards，garages and other areas that have become untidy.

Time for a Change

Assume that you already know what bad habits you want to change, such as being late, overeating, compulsive shopping, lack of exercise, etc.To break any habit, you need to make up your mind and commit yourself to making the change.How can you do this? First, it's important to be honest with yourself about your bad habits.__1__.Ask them to point out every time they notice your bad habits.

After you decide to make a change, look at yourself.You should try to figure out what is causing the bad habit repeatedly.Maybe you are late because you like the attention you receive when you arrive late.Or perhaps you want to control others by setting the time.__2__， you can take the step toward breaking it.Then set a realistic goal for change.__3__， so don't expect to break it overnight.For instance, if your goal is to get into great shape, and you currently do no exercise, don't expect to suddenly start spending two hours at the gym each day.Set a goal of exercising a maximum of several days a week at first.__4__.Keep a journal or diary, or just write things in a notebook.If your goal is to be punctual, exercise more, or eat healthier, many cellphone apps can record your progress.Seeing how you are gradually breaking your bad habit will then start to be its own reward.__5__.

A.If you focus on one goal at a time

B.You didn't develop your bad habit overnight

C.It's also helpful to talk to people around you

D.After you know the reasons behind a bad habit

Go shopping.This is an amazing experience and everybody will be nice to you and listen to you even if your English is not that good. 5   Also, you will learn a few more things that will help you perfect your English.

So next time you are in an English-speaking country, don't waste time thinking your English is not good enough.Go outside, meet people and speak the language!
