2. Hey There, Sunshine

You know how sometime when its cloudy and wet all day, you feel like the weather represents your mood? Well, that’s not a trick, the weather really does affect your brain’s chemistry!

It is the loss of sunlight that is making you feel down – and its even got a name: seasonal affective disorder. The amount of exposure you’re getting to sunlight can directly affect your serotonin levels, and going out into the sun is one of the fastest ways to lift your mood. A good way to get your daily dose of sunlight is by taking a walk in the morning. This way, you’re getting two birds with one stone – sunlight and exercise!
