How often it happens that some event or just gloomy weather affects our mood! I don’t want anything, sad thoughts come into my head, and it seems that there are very, very few good things in life. Familiar? Probably yes. After all, this happens to everyone. So how do you create a joyful mood and stop getting upset because of some thoughts? We offer 9 ways to become a little happier and look at the world from a different angle.
Do what you love
Every person has a hobby or something that captivates him, as they say, with his head. When life seems gray and sad, occupy yourself with exactly what you love so much. It could be painting with watercolors, learning melodies on the piano, or reading an encyclopedia.
If it seems to you that at the moment you do not want to do a hobby, try not to think and just start. Perhaps, after 5-10 minutes you will get involved and carried away, forgetting about gloomy thoughts.
Create a rock music playlist
In a depressed mood, it is categorically contraindicated to turn on melancholic motives and melodies. This will only aggravate your already bad mood. Do the opposite, even if your hand is reaching out to choose "a collection of the 20 saddest songs." Being 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 your friends
Perhaps nothing lifts your spirits like the voice of your loved ones. If you have a girlfriend or best friend, just give them a call. They certainly know how to support you and cheer you up a little. If you don't have friends in real life, you can talk to virtual friends in a chat or a group of interests.
Good comedies and funny videos
If on this day you do not want to see and hear anyone, turn on a funny light comedy. The main thing is that until a good joyful mood appears, do not choose deep pictures with a search for the meaning of life. Watch something that will calm you down a little and make you smile if not laughing while holding your stomach!
Make your little wish come true
Another great piece of advice for those who don't have a day or a week. Fulfill that little wishyou have long dreamed of. Do not save if it requires material costs. Think of it as a healing 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 stream.
You are tired, take a rest…
Among other things, a bad mood is often the result of fatigue or nervous strain. Or maybe not enough hours of sleep. Give yourself a few hours to rest. Postpone everything, even if it seems to you that the world will collapse without you. Nothing will happen if you give yourself an unplanned day off, get plenty of sleep and just mentally allow yourself not to get out of bed for half a day or a whole day, not to run anywhere and not save anyone. Relax, you deserve it!
Outdoor walk
A long walk in the park can be no less useful than a he althy and sound sleep. It is advisable to choose parks, forests and places without a large crowd of people. Choose a quiet and peaceful place where you can relax and breathe deeply, inhaling the scent of leaves or flowers. You yourself will notice that at the end of the walk and your return home, your mood will become better, and your soul will be brighter.
Some sports
Many people have long made a rule for themselves to get rid of sad thoughts - this is a gym. Yes, yes, as soon as you feel not very good mentally, pack up - and run to play sports!
And it does not matter at all what exactly you will do. Strength training in a fitness club, swimming in the pool, yoga or an elementary jog through the narrow urban towns - it does not matter. The main thing is that when you go in for sports, you concentrate on classes and are charged with the energy of a joyful mood. Therefore, do not be lazy and think less about whether you should go or not go in for sports. Quickly put on your sneakers and go!
Shopping, shopping, shopping…
And, of course, what about women's favorite healing 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 yourself?
Take a look at your favorite clothing store and don't be stingy, try on the bright red dress you've been looking at for so long, but for some reason hesitating to buy. Try on something unusual and unusual for your everyday look. Buy smart earrings or a stylish bracelet, patent leather shoes or bright green trousers. Don't buy the first one that comes to hand. Better put it aside and ask the price, and if this is your thing, then after walking around other stores, come back and buy yourself this nice gift.
Don't be sad and remember not to put your nose down! Happy day and good mood!
