1. Make your first thought of the day a happy one. “When we look at ourselves in the mirror every morning and think of all the things we want to change, that’s a choice we make,” says Bernstein. “Make the commitment to think differently about yourself and make happiness the first thing of the day.” She recommends listening to music to begin your morning instead of watching TV. Create a positive, uplifting playlist to help boost your mood and brighten your spirit. If you have a few minutes, sit still and meditate while listening to a song or two.
Sit on the floor: Watch TV from the ground and you'll force your muscles to work harder whenever you have to stand up.
Set phone reminders: Program your smartphone to go off every 30 minutes to remind you to get up and move.
Always add 5: Add at least 5 more minutes to the end of a stroll or jog to burn extra calories.
