TODAY'S LEARNINGDaily Habits For Happiness & Joy

1. Get plenty of sleep

No matter how much modern society steers us toward less sleep, we know that adequate sleep is a vital Trusted Source of good health, brain function, and emotional well-being.

Most adults need about 7 or 8 hours of sleep every night. If you find yourself fighting the urge to nap during the day or just generally feel like you’re in a fog, your body may be telling you it needs more rest.

2. Exercise & Yoga

Exercise isn’t just for your body. Regular exercise can help to reduce stress, feelings of anxiety, and symptoms of depression while boosting self-esteem and happiness.

Even a small amount of physical activity can make a difference. You don’t have to train for a triathlon or scale a cliff — unless that’s what makes you happy, of course.

The trick is not to overexert. If you suddenly throw yourself into a strenuous routine, you’ll probably just end up frustrated (and sore).

3. Be Grateful

Simply being grateful can give your mood a big boost, among other benefits. For example, a recent two-part study found that practicing gratitude can have a significant impact on feelings of hope and happiness.

Start each day by acknowledging one thing you’re grateful for. You can do this while you’re brushing your teeth or just waiting for that snoozed alarm to go off.

As you go about your day, try to keep an eye out for pleasant things in your life. They can be big things, such as knowing that someone loves you or getting a well-deserved promotion.

4. Give a compliment

Research shows that performing acts of kindness can help you feel more satisfied.

Giving a sincere compliment is a quick, easy way to brighten someone’s day while giving your own happiness a boost.

Catch the person’s eye and say it with a smile so they know you mean it. You might be surprised by how good it makes you feel.

POSITIVE NEWS OF THE DAY

A new company in California has kept thousands of used battery packs from going to landfills by putting them in an energy storage facility.

Last year, BWU Storage Solutions made a million dollars by selling renewable energy stored in 1,300 used battery packs from Toyota and Honda EVs to the power grid in California.

Even though the batteries haven't been used for many years to power cars, they are still used to store extra solar and wind energy for when the sun isn't shining and the wind isn't blowing.

Over the next 10 years, millions of battery packs will need to be taken apart, recycled, or given a second use at a place like B2U so they don't end up in landfills.

FOOD FOR THE SOULAyurveda Morning Energy Elixir

Our star adaptogen’s powers are accentuated by matcha in this recipe. Matcha, a powdered green tea, is made from the whole tea leaf and is loaded with natural antioxidants, providing a sense of calm while also promoting awareness.

A superfood, matcha also contains high levels of an amino acid called L-theanine, which calms muscles. Plus, matcha contains moderate amounts of caffeine for a gentle energy lift.

Ingredients

-2 ounces of heated water

-1 teaspoon matcha powder

-1 teaspoon ashwagandha powder

-1 cup whole grass-fed milk (Or raw milk if you can find a good source) You can also use coconut milk but it won't be as creamy.

-Maple syrup to taste

-1 pinch of cinnamon powder

Instructions

Add matcha and ashwagandha to a large mug. Pour in water (heated to approximately 180 degrees), and mix vigorously with a whisk until completely dissolved.

Stir in heated milk, sweeten with maple syrup to taste, and top with a pinch of cinnamon.
