Does anyone have any suggestions to waking up in a good mood. I'm always waking up sad and my day stays low and sad. The odd occasion I wake up feeling good I stay feeling good. PLEASE, PLEASE HELP if you can! MY DAILY LOVE TO YOU ALL - DARTH XXXX

I try to get a good night sleep. Although the past few days have been rough doing that. Maybe make plans to do something you enjoy doing. Try to keep a positive attitude. I am still trying to find the answer to your question myself. What I do is that when I am blessed with a good day I take full advantage of it. I get outside and do all of the things I wished I could do when I wasnt feeling so good.

I try to tell myself every morning as soon as I open my eyes, "I feel good. Today is going to be a great day". It makes me smile if nothing else. Take care.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
