I help someone else.
I have accomplished something I can be proud of (large or small). (This was like "emotional weather insurance" for a few days.)
It's sunny out and/or I have a lot of light where I am.
I take occasional breaks just to relax.
I'm watching my kitties do something cute.
I've had a shower, food, and sleep recently.
I'm hearing happy-sounding (usually energetic) music.
I am exercising regularly or I have exercised recently.
What about you?

I am happier when...
My kids come running up to hug me the second I walk in the door.
I make people smile.
I am teaching. Doesn't matter whether it's high school chemistry, morris dancing, rappelling, lockpicking, or whatever.
The "lightbulb comes on" for my students. (http://jcgbigler.livejournal.com/17115.html)
Someone else accomplishes something they can be proud of because of me.
I am playing music with other musicians.
I get half a pound of coffee out of the coffee roaster and it turns out to be a perfect full city roast.
I have time to write.
I come up with a really geeky pun and someone else laughs at it.
Nancy leaves me little notes in my viola case, on the driver's seat of my car, or someplace else that she knows I'll eventually find it.
I see pretty things on the ocean as I drive by, such as reflected moonlight, a sunrise, rough waves, sea smoke, or ice floes.
