How to feel happier when sad

 I have sad days and the only thing That makes me happier Is to get out, get some exercise and eat really healthy food. 

No one else can make you happy apart from yourself. 

I love to start the day with an hours walk followed by a healthy breakfast Ideally poached eggs with salmon. 

I know an hours walk is a lot to ask but it’s as simple as getting out of bed half an hour earlier and giving your body the exercise it deserves. Give it a week and you’ll feel amazing.

If you have an iPhone and I watch Download the steps app and set yourself a target every day. At first it will seem daunting but every day you’ll  get better and fitter and wondered why You haven’t started this earlier! 

If you find the idea of walking boring listen to some TEDTalks, listen to heart radio whatever you fancy really just to make it more enjoyable.

I hope this helps, it  surely has helped me 😊
