Life coach Michelle Zelli spells out 10 ways to have a year with cheer

Physiology dictates your mood, so when you move your mouth upwards, science has proved that your mood will follow. Your body sends signals to your brain to let you know what state you’re in. If my shoulders are rounded and my head is down, I’m telling my body I’m in a slump. So pull back your shoulders, lift your head high and tell your brain you are

confident and strong.

Kick 2019 off to a great start by speaking to yourself as though you were your best friend – someone who likes and values you. Research suggests that selfacceptance leads to greater satisfaction

with our lives.
