8 Easy Ways To Be Happier Right Now (2 of 5)

Go outdoors today

Studies show that going into nature can boost mood and help to ease stress. Even just a 20-minute walk or some time spent sitting on your porch can help you get some fresh perspective on your life. So today, choose to have dinner outside or walk a pet.

And beyond just some downtime from screens, purse your social media feeds and TV binge lists of any content that does not make you feel good about yourself and your life.
