>Celebrate every success, even the small ones.
>Listen to upbeat music that makes you happy.
>Engage in regular physical exercise.
>Surround your workspace with things that inspire and motivate you.
>At least once a day, enjoy a good laugh. In order to do this, you need to collect jokes and try to find >the humor in situations whenever you can.
>Sometimes a favorite television show is a good opportunity to enjoy a deep belly laugh.
