3. Use Good Scents
Soaps and lotions with appeal-ing aromas often evoke positive feelings. Keep a bottle of your favorite close by. Use it anytime your spirits need a quick lift. The scents of lemon, peppermint, and rosemary help energize. Fragrances such as lavender can offer a feeling of calm.

4. Turn Up the Volume
Music is the magic mood lifter. Certain songs can give you a sudden surge of energy. Think about the tunes played before athletic events--they're meant to excite people. Fortunately, you don't have to be at the big game to feel that rush. With computers, iPods, and car stereos, the right song is only a switch away.
