Hello there,
Despite all great intentions, we (being human) stumble; moods change, joy fades and blues try to blossom.
Some people are triggered by negative thoughts and memories, others by the weather and some permit other people to invade their peace.
Whatever the cause, here are ten instant mood changers…try making a habit out of at least one of these and watch how the wheels of optimism will turn at will. Your will.
If the cause of your mood changes or swings are not chemical or deeply rooted psychological issues, these tips can have a lasting and tranformative impact.
Here they are: (tried true and powerful!) Oh – did I mention that these will work at their highest and best only if you have a desire to feel better…and this could be just a glimmer of a desire.
Disclaimer: If you’re trying to stay where you are because it’s working for you on some level, these tips will most likely not work. You see, it is totally your call.
- CHANGE your body position. If you’re sitting, stand and stretch; if you’re standing, walk briskly for 2 minutes. By doing this you are sending a signal to your brain that you are ready for some positive sensations to race through your body. Get the blood flowing and oxygen circulating. (Dancing for a few minutes is magical!)
- Say OUTLOUD and with sincere PASSION ► “I WANT TO FEEL BETTER” and “I AM TRYING RIGHT NOW, TO BE IN A BETTER SPACE.” Say these affirmations as many times as needed until you detect a change in your state.
- VISUALIZE and then do, a kind deed for someone.
- LAUGH – remember the last time you laughed out loud for at least 30 seconds? Recall what was so funny and laugh again or seek out a funny friend and let the laughter roll (don’t fight it!)
- Think of 3 things you are grateful for. Think about why you are so grateful. GRATITUDE is powerful!
- Set a LIMIT on the funk. Agree to be disagreeable. If you can spare the time, decide on exactly how much longer you will mope and honor the time limit. At the end of, say 5 minutes, SNAP OUT OF IT. 🙂
- Clear, organize or tidy an area of your space. Pick a space or a piece of a project where a difference can be made in how things look, in a short period of time. Assign 5 – 10 minutes (or more is you have it) and hum a tune as you organize your way to a better state. ♫♫♫
- Play or listen to your favorite piece of INSPIRING music and pretend you are experiencing it at a live performance with your most favorite people.
- Start a scrap book of all the encouraging and loving cards, notes and letters you’ve recieved from people who love and support you. As you gather them and place them be sure to read them…instant mood changer! 🙂
- READ an inspiring book, your Holy book or quotations that force your thinking/thoughts to change, and entice your heart to open. Once your thoughts change and your heart is touched, you WILL change your mood!
So which of these will be your new success habit(s)? Affirming, Visualizing, Random acts of kindness, Gratitude, Organizing, Reading, Scrap-booking, Laughing, Positive thinking…which of these can serve you well when funkiness descends?
A negative thought, a bad state or a funky feeling will always be possible as long as we remain human. So I say have a plan, create habits that will help you to rebound fast and clean.
