Today, we find ourselves busier than ever. We have to get the grand-daughter to school, take the car to the shop, pay a few bills, grocery shop and that's just what we have to do this morning. Wow, I sure do hope that we can keep our mind together and keep on smiling.
Do you ever just get up and fear that the day is not going to be good. Maybe, it happens when you get up out of bed and one little thing sets you off. Perhaps it's in the middle of the day and you find yourself behind and your mood goes down. For all these things there are a few ideas that can you help you get into a better mood. Remember to always smile.
Music is great to alter your mood and pick up your smile as well. Positive, uplifting songs that you can sing along to help pick me up. In fact I am not sure if any of you do it but when things start getting away from me and my day starts slipping away I burst out into songs it helps motivate me and keeps me smiling as well.
Have a few moments, take a quick relaxing shower. It will help increase circulation and rid the mind and body of negative energy. Sometimes the reason that we are struggling with the day is because we are tired, a good shower wakes me right up and helps me prepare for the day. Late afternoon after work I love to get a shower as well to relax and motivate.
Spend some time with your pet is something that relaxes my husband quite a bit. Behavioral therapists use animals to help with healing and this can help moods as well.
One thing we often do at work when we see someone having a bad day is to give them a hug. This helps both of us out as we talk a moment and we know someone knows what we are going through and move on. Touch offers healing energy and has a way of brightening a smile.
Remember to breathe. One of my favorite stress reducer is to take a deep breathe in and let it out. Simply relax for a moment and breathe.
I try to take a deep breath when I am stressed, too! It usually works pretty well.
ReplyDeleteworks well for me too
DeleteThanks. I need to practice my breaths and deep breathing as I'm a stress head. Angela
ReplyDeletehope it gets better
DeleteYou got that right
ReplyDeleteI love music to get my mood better. Praying also works.
ReplyDeleteMusic has always been some form of escape for me. That's why I have a playlist for every situation.
ReplyDeletehugs always make me feel better and help relieve my stress
ReplyDeleteYeah, music get my good mood back at all time.
ReplyDeleteSpending time with friends help me feel better or watching a good programme.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the reminder. I need to focus more on the positive things around me :)
ReplyDeleteI lost my smile years ago in a marriage. Got out and got it back. :)
ReplyDeleteNaps usually recharge me when I'm having a bad day. I love your other ideas for bringing a smile back too.
ReplyDeleteWow I never thought this kind of simple tricks could find ease with my stressful life. To be honest my only way of avoiding things off hand is take a medication first thing in the morning when I wake up which I prescribe my self. :(
ReplyDeleteMusic is one of my top choice especially mellow ones.
Eating gets back my good mood lol, it's true.
ReplyDeleteTaking a deep breath and smiling always work for me.
ReplyDeleteTaking slow and deep breaths works really well with me and listening to relaxing music!
ReplyDeleteIt always feels good to take a really deep breath and move along.
ReplyDeleteDeep breaths is a great way to help yourself calm down. I like to do some before bed.
ReplyDeleteEvery morning I wake up and know that the day is going to be what I make of it! I try to stay positive and my day (usually) stays on track ;)
ReplyDeleteTaking a deep breath definitely helps, but so does a time out ;-) I like to step aside and take a moment for myself. Usually does the trick
ReplyDeleteEvery day I have a long, long list of things I would like to get done. By concentrating on what I have achieved rather than what is still waiting to be completed I can feel good about making progress. It's all a matter of perspective.
ReplyDeleteDeep breath and music are two main factor to lift up my spirit and feel better.
ReplyDeleteSmiles not only make others feel good, they also make the person feel good inside. For stress relief I tend to take some time out for myself to reflect and think of all the good in my life and the many things I am thankful for.
ReplyDeleteIts all about perspective isn't it - we breathe and we smile and we think positive and the day becomes that little bit less stressful. thanks for sharing on our #OverTheMoon link up ~ Leanne :)
ReplyDeleteYesterday was that kind of day for me where I just was sure it was going to be awful. And truth be told, it was not the best of days. But by the end of the day, I was able to find a silver lining. :) Thanks for the reminder + Thanks so much for linking up with us over at the #BestOfTheBlogosphere Link-Up!
