Congratulations, you are not alone in this! How to overcome a terrible mood?! Let's talk about the most effective and efficient methods. Ready?! Then go ahead!
Why a terrible mood?
When a bad depressive mood irritates literally everything. Some people express a terrible mood with aggression towards external stimuli, while in others it manifests itself in complete apathy and unwillingness to even say a word to anyone.
When a person is not in a good mood, he has a terrible mood, what reasons can provoke this? This state is preceded by the following life events:
- Communicating with an unpleasant person. We should not be liked by absolutely everyone, and we should not be loved by everyone around. However, at the slightest contact with a person unpleasant for you, your mood deteriorates. Hence, a terrible day, a terrible mood, and a terrible “human irritant.”
- He alth problems. Headache, migraine can knock outfrom any track. It is impossible to enjoy life with severe pain. It's a fact.
- Problems in the personal sphere. Things are not going well at work, debts, love also does not stick, upset their own children - the reasons for all can not be counted.
- Rejection of special dates. Many women do not like to celebrate their birthday. Moreover, they are upset on the eve of this day or a few days before the celebration. Thoughts of aging never leave.
- "Weather" blues. For many people, the mood depends on the weather. It started to rain - a bad mood for the whole day is guaranteed, snow fell - which means I will definitely get my feet wet. There are many options. Depression can occur seasonally. Often this phenomenon occurs in creative and impressionable individuals.
If the soul hurts, cats scratch there without ceasing, you need to listen to your condition. Only by analyzing the problem of depression, knowing yourself, you can find a way out of the blues.
Listen to yourself
If you're in a terrible mood, it's time to talk to your inner self. analyze your inner state. Only this method will help to understand what is the cause of a bad mood. Listen to your inner feelings. What do you feel? Try to understand what exactly upsets you. Only with independent inner work can a person find the cause of discomfort within himself.
Feeling yourself and observing your condition is not given to everyone. If a person cannot“look” into your soul, then you should turn to a psychologist. With the help of special techniques and psychological exercises, you can learn to understand your feelings and figure out what to do next.
How to fight?
Only an iron lady can hold back her emotions when she's in a bad mood. Most people react emotionally not only to changes in life, but also to a terrible mood. However, such a state does not paint you either internally or even more so externally. Do you want to remain ugly for a long time? So, let's get ourselves together! As they say in the famous novel by I. Ilf and E. Petrov "The Twelve Chairs": the salvation of drowning people is the work of the drowning people themselves. So, forward to action:
- Treat yourself with a gift. At the first onset of the blues, buy a gift for yourself. Even if there is not enough money in the wallet for the desired new thing, then there is definitely a bar of delicious chocolate. Chocolate will always cheer you up, and in a matter of minutes. It increases the production of serotonin, the happiness hormone. We need to get it.
- Love yourself. Beauty salon is what you need in a bad mood. “Cleaning the feathers”: straightening the tips, a new manicure and pedicure is a guarantee of a good mood.
- Call your friends. As life experience shows, a bachelorette party helps to forget about a bad mood. And all the problems you share with your friends don't seem so serious at all.
- A new romantic adventure. If a woman is in a bad mood, then you canexperiment. For example, we go to social networks and raise morale with a new acquaintance. Why not become a femme fatale at least for the evening?
- Turn on comedy or melodrama. The genre of the film depends on the characteristics of the character of a woman in a bad mood. Someone is crazy about melodramas, and someone does not mind brightening up the evening by watching science fiction or an action movie. Most importantly, a good ending. Otherwise, the mood will only worsen.
And here is a recommendation for men: if your significant other is in a bad depressed mood, then remember that warm hugs, attention, a compliment and a small gift will never let you get discouraged.
"Eat" a good mood - get it
Few people know that some foods contain "happiness": substances that improve mood. So, we take out a notebook or write it down on a note in a smartphone:
- chocolate;
- coffee;
- hot pepper;
- nuts;
- meat and fish;
- citrus fruits (especially tangerines and oranges);
- celery (celery soup is a miracle cure).
Of course, no one canceled their favorite dishes. Why can't you please yourself, especially if you're in a bad mood? Very necessary!
Adding activities
What to do when in a terrible mood? Many simply wrap themselves in a blanket, lie down on the sofa and begin to roar, feeling sorry for themselves. Forget about this "destructive" rule! Force yourself to move, recharge your body with vigor. jog,dance, fitness training, swimming - all active sports will help you forget about apathy forever.
Don't be afraid of being tired. Of course, you will feel the consequences of physical activity, but you will immediately feel psychologically free and cheerful.
If you are not ready to be physically active, then walking as an alternative. However, you need to go fast. Walking speed is directly proportional to the rate of improvement in mood. The faster you go, the better oxygen saturates the blood. Consequently, gloomy pessimistic thoughts are removed from your life.
In no case do not think about the bad. Yes. This is hard. But you have to overcome yourself. To help you - positive dance music in the headphones. Take advantage, you won't regret it!
Towards something new
How to beat a terrible mood? Occupy your thoughts with new things! For example:
- Looking for a new hobby. Some ladies mope from the abundance of free time. It's true? If a woman is a business person, then there is not even time to think about a bad mood. You need to do something meaningful. Why not do hand made?
- Attending interesting courses. Psychological training, master classes in cooking or visage can cheer you up. And then fix the result. Why not try out the new make-up for yourself? The mood will rise in twotimes.
Can an interesting handmade brooch upset you? Never. On the contrary, it will burst with pride for its own creative product.
Try auto-training. I immediately want to recall the film "The Most Charming and Attractive" directed by G. Bezhanov.
This amazing film provides simple advice on how to deal with bad moods. A good mood after watching is guaranteed. And self-hypnosis is a whole effective art.
What is a bad mood afraid of?
It may seem paradoxical, but the enemy of a bad mood is laughter. Laugh! The muscles on the face capture emotions. Therefore, as soon as the lips break into a smile, the reaction “fun” immediately enters the brain. Of course, in theory, everything is fine. However, this is the proven first way to attack a bad mood.
Have a little holiday for yourself. And the reason is literally "underfoot." For example, the victory of your favorite team in the championship, the birthday of your favorite cat or dog, anniversaries, etc. Invite your friends and have fun.
Get smarter and happier
Another way to improve your mood is to engage in self-development. Yes, oddly enough, but intellectual activity is useful in a wide range.
First, you develop mentally. Secondly, the inner conviction that you will become even smarter will immediately affect your mood. Solve crossword puzzles, open an unfinished interesting book, pass psychological tests, play board games. Or better yet, create your own activities. What do you want to do now?Gather your will into a fist and do it.
How to get ahead of depression?
Of course, there are situations in life in which conventional methods are simply powerless to improve mood. However, being depressed is not an option. By the way, psychologists say that depression leads to a gradual loss of self-confidence. If you think logically, then who will be interested in a depressed, pessimistic, insecure person? At most, you will “attract” people like you to yourself.
If a serious psychological problem is sitting inside, then consult a psychologist. It will help guide you to find a way out of the current situation. Remember that everything passes. Failure will not be an eternal companion in life.
Life is not just black and white. It should burn and be full of bright positive shades. Your day and your whole life will depend on which brush and what color you use. Paint your life in every color of the rainbow!
Let every moment be filled with only positive and light shades. Walk boldly through your rainbow of life, and may you never meet depression on the way!
