Everybody gets in a bad mood sometimes. It is something we people just go through
However, because a bad mood can really block us from feeling good, from getting things done and from enjoying life, it can be wonderful to know some ways to turn a bad mood into a good one.
The following are six ways I use all the time to turn my mood around.
#1 Smile
Smiling interrupts bad mood neural pathways. And strengthens the brain’s ability to keep a positive outlook.
When you are alone, put a little Mona Lisa smile on and you’ll feel better. And, when your smile is aimed at another, you’ve just spread the contagion of smiling and feeling happy.
#2 Yawn
The simple yawn is quite amazing for the reason that so many beneficial things happen. It lowers stress, induces the relaxation response and promotes pleasure and heightens sensuality.
Just open your mouth wide and induce a yawn. Try it now!
Three: Say Yes!
Simply saying the word “yes” can help you get into a more positive frame of mind.
I suggest you count on your fingers, ask ten questions of yourself and answer “yes”. Start easy, like “Am I sitting down?” “Yes.”
As you continue asking, get more and more enthusiastic, asking questions that make you happier and happier.
4. Appreciate.
Begin by looking around wherever you are and find one thing to appreciate. Silently think of a reason you appreciate it. Next think of another reason you appreciate it. And another, and another.
Now find another thing to appreciate. This activity can be done virtuallyanywhere and at any time.
5. Tap.
Your body’s system of energy has a way of getting stuck both in patterns of thought and in patterns of emotion.
When you tap on some specific points, some of the ones acupuncturists use, clears and releases the negative pattern and allow a good mood to naturally return.
This easy method is referred to as EFT tapping. You can learn how to do this tapping therapy in as little as 10 minutes with this free EFT manual and watching the short youtube EFT video above.
Six: If I did feel happy…
If you’re in a pretty bad mood to start with, it can be hard to simply decide to feel better. Try this.
Either silently, aloud or in writing. Begin by saying, If I were to feel good right now, I just might feel good about” and finish the sentence.
Keep going, completing your sentence with things you could feel good about.
In no time at all, you WILL be in a good mood.
I wish you more and more good moods.
