Stop and smell the lemons



Catching a whiff of citrus directly affects a variety of neurotransmitters in your brain, which can improve your mood and strengthen your immune system. Researchers from the Department of Psychiatry at Ohio State University found that lemon oil in particular reliably enhances positive feelings by changing the serotonin and norepinephrine levels in your brain. Easy ways to incorporate lemons or your favorite citrus scent into your daily routine include aromatherapy diffusers, potpourri, candles, bath oils or tossing a washcloth dabbed with essential oil in the clothes dryer with each load.

Take laughter seriously



The effects of laughter and exercise are very similar,” says psychologist and laugh therapist Steve Wilson. “Adding laughter to familiar movements, such as waving your arms, activates just about every human physiologic system, similar to traditional exercise.” Laughter burns calories, increases positive endorphins (natural painkillers), reduces stress and strengthens your immune system. A good belly laugh can also improve job satisfaction and feelings of self-worth, and help you overcome obstacles. Make it a habit to laugh every couple of hours; it could be as healthy as eating an apple a day.

Learn to love your work



According to Career Builder.com, 84 percent of Americans are unhappy at work. If that’s you, psychotherapist Beth Mares suggests figuring out exactly why you’re dissatisfied. Do you feel underpaid, underutilized, unappreciated or overworked? “Besides looking for new work, you could learn to say no, refuse to take things personally, or acquire new job skills,” says Mares. “Another option is to focus on the reasons you’re there.” To stay happy at work, remind yourself of the benefits and your long-term goals. Career expert Marcus Buckingham also recommends applying your strengths and managing your weaknesses. Focusing on what you do well is a healthy professional—and personal—habit.

Socialize for your mental health



“In our study, socializing was just as effective as more traditional kinds of mental exercise in boosting memory and intellectual performance,” says Oscar Ybarra, a psychologist at the Institute for Social Research. Just 10 minutes of social interaction improves intellectual performance as much as solving crossword puzzles or doing other “intellectual” activities. Nicholas Epley, an assistant professor at the University of Chicago, adds a different perspective: “Loneliness is actually a greater risk for morbidity or mortality than cigarette smoking.” Socializing reduces loneliness and isolation—factors that can accelerate aging, increase blood pressure and create anxiety.

Take your financial temperature regularly



“We have to develop a healthy, honest relationship with our money,” writes Orman in Women & Money. “And we have to see this relationship as a reflection of our relationship with ourselves.” Orman believes that how we handle our finances reflects how we perceive and value who we are. To develop a healthy relationship with money, learn the ins and outs of your checking accounts, retirement funds, credit card score, home insurance, life insurance and family budget. To increase feelings of control and power, make it a habit to investigate one new aspect of your spending or earning habits every month.
