[size=6]It usually takes us much longer to change our moods than we’d like it to take. Here are ten things you can do in ten minutes or less that will have a positive emotional effect on you and those you love.[/size]
[size=6][b]1. Watch "The Last Lecture" by Randy Paus[/b][b]ch[/b]. See it online at [url="http://www.oprah.com/"]Oprah.com[/url]. This is a deeply moving segment that may be the best ten minutes you've ever invested in front of a computer.[/size]
[size=6][b]2. Spend a little while watching the sunset with your mate[/b]. Nothing extra is necessary. Just sit and take in the natural [url="http://www.psychologytoday.com/basics/beauty"]beauty[/url] of the sky and appreciate being able to share it with the one you love.[/size]
[size=6][b]3. Sit quietly by yourself. It doesn't really matter where or when[/b]. Just let your feelings bubble up and then experience the thoughts flowing out of your mind. Clearing your head and heart will give you extra energy to get through the rest of the day.[/size]
[size=6][b]4. Write a thank you note to y[/b][b]our mate[/b]. When was the last time you thanked your partner for just being who he or she is and being with you? Doing this in writing will give your partner something to cherish for the rest of his or her life.[/size]
[size=6][b]5. Take out your oldest family photo album and look [/b][b]through it.[/b] The experience will fill you with fond [url="http://www.psychologytoday.com/basics/memory"]memories[/url] and perhaps make you a bit wistful for days gone by.[/size]
[size=6][b]6. Play with a [/b][b]child[/b]. Most kids have short attention spans; ten minutes of quality time from a loving adult can make their day. It will also help you stay in touch with the child inside of you.[/size]
[size=6][b]7. Visualize or imagine a positive outcome for any issue[/b]. Medical doctors recommend [url="http://www.psychologytoday.com/basics/fantasies"]visualization[/url] to patients with chronic and potentially fatal illnesses. If it can help them, it can do the same for you.[/size]
[size=6][b]8. Go to bed with the one you love ten minutes earlier than usual.[/b] Then spend that time just holding each other. Let the feeling of warmth from your mate move through you.[/size]
[size=6][b]9. Hang out by some water.[/b] Studies show that hospital patients who can see a natural body of water from their beds get better at a 30 percent faster rate. If you're not near the coast or a lake, try taking a bath. Doing so is also healing.[/size]
[size=6][b]10. Get your body moving.[/b] Shake, twist, and jump around. Let yourself feel the joy of moving to your favorite music, or just the sounds in your head. Run, walk, and bike to your hearts content. You will live longer and love it more.[/size]
[size=6]Sadly, many people measure [url="http://www.psychologytoday.com/basics/happiness"]happiness[/url] by how long the experience lasts. The truth is that a few minutes of joy here and there can make a big difference in what you get out of life.[/size]
