If you got out of bed on the wrong side this morning, you might want to look away now: Victoria Beckham never wakes up in a bad mood.
In a recent interview with the Wall Street Journal, the Spice Girl said: “I never wake up in a bad mood. I don’t allow myself to do that.’
Like a Disney princess, the 49-year-old said that when she wakes up at six or seven in the morning, she acts like a “cheerleader” for the rest of the family and insists she’s “having the best day.” . . .’
If you now share a joint fortune of £425 million with your elderly husband David Beckham, it’s no surprise that life feels decidedly rosy every day.
As winter approaches, we can only imagine that the Beckhams’ country home in West London is always toasty warm (underfloor heating perhaps?), and the views of the sunrise landscape from their Cotswold estate are a sight to behold.
Not only that, but getting up at the crack of dawn will likely be a lot less painful with a private chef and a glamorous team to conceal dark circles under your eyes.
But perhaps fittingly, the ex-singer says that none of this holds the secret of his bright eyes and bushy tail; he actually plays a few tunes. “We make music,” she says. “Music plays a big role in the Beckham household.”
And it’s true that small gestures like these can really improve your mood.
A recent survey found that although most Brits wake up in a bad mood at least twice a week, 75% of respondents say small positive benefits help ease the times of the day when they feel depressed.
In addition to making music, the focus was also on the morning training and actually having breakfast.
Dipika Saggi, from suicide prevention charity Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM), said: “Sometimes the things life throws at us can make us feel a little miserable, but as this research shows, sometimes simple, small gestures help or actions. “We help. get through the day and improve our mood.
