Negative emotions such as sadness, depression among many others are some of the emotions that affect us every single day. A bad mood can be a hindrance to attaining our goals.
There are a few methods that one can use to get back into a good mood:
1) Positive Energy.
When filled with negative energy, a bad mood is inevitable. Doing something to cheer up can be inspiring and motivational. The following suggestions can be of help:
(a) Exercising
- When you involve your body in an exercise no matter how simple it is,
there is production of a chemical (dopamine) which leads to
happiness.
(b) Think of something you cherish - Sad thoughts always lead to a bad mood. Happy thoughts will always get you excited.
(c) Long deep breaths - Try to relax your body by taking continuous deep breaths to help calm down.
(d) Listen to inspiring music - This will get rid of all the sadness and eventually put a smile on your face.
2) Do something new.
The usual stuff you do may sometimes lack the thrill. New input to your program breaks the pattern as your able to create fresh and exciting memories. They
can also be things you love but you don't get to do them often; like
watching television, taking a walk, visiting a friend and so much more.
3) Writing a Short Gratitude List.
This will have your mind focusing on the stuff your grateful for hence making you happier and proud.
You
may be in a bad mood because you keep on referring to yourself as 'poor me'. Being proud of your achievements can get you in a good mood.
For instance, I can say I am grateful for this blog, for having supportive friends, for the great weather. See how easy it can be?
The
above methods will always get you in a good mood once your feeling down. Just try them out and tell me later how it felt.
