Mood Boosters: How to be happy || Ep. 54

Tanner clark
About this episode

Welcome to The Second of Strength Podcast. This week, your host, Tanner Clark, explores powerful strategies to boost your mood.

Everbody wants to be happier. And while happiness is an emotion that we can't feel all the time, there are strategies that we can use to boost our mood.

This episode starts by discussing why a good mood is a good thing and how it benefits us and others to be happy.

Then we dive into 4 ways to be happier.

- How to reduce stress and anxiety.

- The smiling effect. How smiling (RIGHT NOW) can change you're mood...right now.

- Spending less time on screens. I truly believe that the more time we spend on screens, the less happy we are.

- Take action and stop waiting for motivation. Too many people thing motivation is what is important to move forward. It's actually the exact opposite. Action leads to motivation.

Remember, happiness is in the journey. Keep smiling, take action, and spend your time in places creating real life connections.
