This habit can have a huge impact on your overall mood and outlook each morning. Whenever possible, open your curtains and windows to allow the sunlight and fresh air into your home each morning. If you live in a colder climate, bundle up and step outside to enjoy the natural light and crisp air instead.

#James Donaldson notes:Welcome to the “next chapter” of my life… being a voice and an advocate for #mentalhealthawarenessandsuicideprevention, especially pertaining to our younger generation of students and student-athletes.Getting men to speak up and reach out for help and assistance is one of my passions. Us men need to not suffer in silence or drown our sorrows in alcohol, hang out at bars and strip joints, or get involved with drug use.Having gone through a recent bout of #depression and #suicidalthoughts myself, I realize now, that I can make a huge difference in the lives of so many by sharing my story, and by sharing various resources I come across as I work in this space.  #http://bit.ly/JamesMentalHealthArticleFind out more about the work I do on my 501c3 non-profit foundationwebsite www.yourgiftoflife.org Order your copy of James Donaldson's latest book,#CelebratingYourGiftofLife: From The Verge of Suicide to a Life of Purpose and Joy

There is something almost magical about reveling in sunshine and fresh air first thing in the morning. As the sun hits your skin, your mood begins to lift and breathing in fresh air is a wonderful way to wake up your senses in a gradual, soothing way.
