Work stress, social life, weather changes- a lot can affect our mood and have us feeling down. There is no magic solution that can make us feel happy again. Every individual and every situation requires different types of TLC. Try out the following until you find your perfect mix!
1. Spend quality time with friends and family
Sharing our feelings with others helps us to process them. It puts your thoughts into a new perspective and you may also get valuable advice and support. Choose people from your circle whom you can trust and count on.
Even if you are not comfortable sharing your feelings yet, just spending time with friends and family can help to lift your mood.
2. Slow down or take a break if you need it
Being productive and working towards your goals is great, but once in a while, it is human to need to slow down or take a break. Reduce your levels of stress by simplifying your routine. Break down your tasks into smaller ones and set realistic dealines.
If you need a break, take it without blaming yourself for not doing anything. Think of it as a recovery for you to come back stronger.
3. Do more of what you love
Watch your favourite movie, cook your favourite meal, visit your favourite spot in town- anything that will help you feel more positive. In times when you do not feel like doing anything, choosing the things that you love is the best way to go.
4. Get outdoors
Getting out in the sun and breathing in fresh air can do wonders for your mood! Ideally, a walk in nature is relaxing and helps to recharge. But if it is easier, even a walk to run errands is beneficial.
5. Switch the negatives into positives
Write down all the positive things in your life and keep it handy. Read it to yourself whenever you are feeling bad to remind yourself of what is good in life, that you have not always felt this way and that it will pass.
6. Be patient
An improvement in how you are feeling will take time. It may even get worse before it gets better. Be patient and focus on taking care of yourself the best you can. The bad days will lessen over time.
7. Avoid making important decisions
Postpone the important decisions for later. A bad mood can fog your perspective and cause you to make the wrong decisions. If it is unavoidable, choose someone in your life whom you can trust and ask for their help in making the decision.
8. Get some shut eye
Being sleep deprived can make the happiest person feel irritated. Make sure to get a good nights sleep and even nap when you feel like it.
Remember that every one is different. What will work for you depends on your individual needs and situation. The above tips are worth trying until you find which makes you feel better. Keep smiling 🙂
