A new survey looked at how our mood shifts during the day.  And on weekdays, we’re at our happiest between 6:00 and 9:00 P.M., because we finally get to unwind from work.  On weekends, we start feeling good a lot earlier, around 11:00 A.M.

 

 

The survey also asked people to name the top things that can instantly put you in a good mood.  Here are the top ten . . .

 

 

1.  A good night’s sleep.

 

2.  When the sun comes out.

 

3.  Going for a walk.

 

4.  Getting a compliment.

 

5.  Finding money in your pocket.

 

6.  Getting a hug.

 

7.  Good weather on the weekend.

 

8.  The sound of birds chirping.

 

9.  Flowers in bloom.

 

10.  Having a snack. 

 

A few more that just missed the top ten are hearing the words “I love you” . . . eating a home-cooked meal . . . sleeping in . . . the smell of fresh-cut grass . . . finishing work early . . . and bumping into an old friend.
