How often does it happen that an event or just gloomy weather affects our mood! I don’t want anything, sad thoughts come into my head, and it seems that there is very, very little good in life. Is that familiar? Probably yes. After all, such a state happens to everyone. So how do you create a joyful mood and stop being upset about some thoughts? We offer 9 ways to become a little happier and look at the world from a different angle.
Do what you love
Each person has a hobby or something that captivates him, as they say, with his head. When life seems gray and sad, engage yourself in exactly what you love so much. This can be drawing with watercolors, learning melodies on the piano or reading an encyclopedia.
If you think you don’t want to engage in a hobby at the moment, try not to hesitate and just start. Perhaps in 5-10 minutes you will be drawn in and carried away, forgetting about gloomy thoughts.
Create a music playlist
In a depressed mood, it is categorically contraindicated to include melancholy motifs and melodies. This will only aggravate your already bad mood. Act the other way around, even if your hand reaches out and choose "a collection of the 20 saddest songs." While in a joyful mood, remember and collect all those compositions that not only invigorate you, but also improve your mood. It can be songs in Russian or any other language, it doesn’t matter. The main thing is that they are 100% yours and fill you with energy.
Call friends
Perhaps nothing improves mood like the voice of loved ones. If you have a favorite girlfriend or best friend, just call them. They certainly know how to support you and a little cheer. If in real life you don’t have friends, then you can talk with virtual acquaintances in a chat or interest group.
Good comedies and funny videos
If on this day you don’t want to see and hear anyone, turn on the funny light comedy. The main thing is, until a good joyful mood appears, do not choose deep pictures with a search for the meaning of life. Look at something that will calm you down a bit and make you smile if you don’t laugh and hold on to your stomach!
Fulfill your little wish
Another great piece of advice for those who haven't had a day or a week. Fulfill that little desire that you have long dreamed of. Do not save if it requires material costs. Think of it as therapeutic therapy to restore your mood. Desire can be anything. For example, riding a horse, going to the circus, buying a beautiful cup, or spontaneously swimming in a forest river.
Are you tired, take a rest ...
Among other things, a bad mood is often the result of fatigue or nervous strain. Or maybe not enough hours to sleep. Give yourself a few hours to relax. Set aside all things, even if it seems to you that without you the world will collapse. Nothing will happen if you give yourself an unplanned day off, have enough sleep and just mentally allow yourself half a day or a whole day not to get out of bed, not to run anywhere and not save anyone. Relax, you deserve it!
Walk in the fresh air
A long walk in the park can be no less useful than a healthy and sound sleep. It is advisable to choose precisely parks, forests and places without a large crowd. Choose a quiet place where you can relax and breathe deeply, breathing in the smell of foliage or flowers. You yourself will notice that at the end of the walk and your return home, your mood will become better, but your soul will be lighter.
A bit of sport
Many people have long deduced for themselves the rule of getting rid of sad thoughts - this is a gym. Yes, as soon as you feel not very well mentally, get ready - and go in for sports on the run!
Moreover, it does not matter what you will do. Strength training in a fitness club, swimming in a pool, yoga or elementary jogging through narrow city towns - it does not matter. The main thing is that, playing sports, you concentrate on classes and recharge your batteries with energy of joyful mood. Therefore, do not be lazy and think less about whether you should go or not to go in for sports. Put on your sneakers quickly and go!
Shopping, shopping, shopping ...
Well, and, of course, where without the beloved healing women shopping? Although shopping is loved not only by women, but also by men. What could be more beautiful than going shopping and spending money on a loved one?
Take a look at your favorite clothing store and, without stint, try on a bright red dress that you have been looking at for so long, but for some reason do not dare to buy it. Try something unusual and unusual for your everyday look. Buy smart earrings or a stylish bracelet, patent leather shoes or bright green pants. Do not buy the first one that comes to hand. Better put aside and ask the price, and if this is your thing, then, having walked around other shops, come back and buy yourself this nice gift.
Do not be sad and remember that you can not lower your nose! Have a nice day and good mood!
