Many of us would like to always experience only positive emotions. But our mood is conditioned by factors, many of which can be very difficult to control. However, there are still some simple tips that will help you quickly and easily cheer yourself up.
Instructions
Step 1
Never blame yourself for anything. Feelings of guilt are one of the main culprits in depression.
Step 2
Don't get hung up on the setbacks or negative sides of the events. Try to see the pros in everything. Cultivate an optimist in yourself.
Step 3
Get enough sleep. Scientists strongly recommend that you do not disrupt sleep and rest in any way.
Step 4
Always open the curtains after waking up. The morning sun can put you in a good mood for the whole day, so try to take short walks in the morning.
Step 5
Play with your pet. Scientists say that spending 15 minutes with your puppy or cat can increase the production of hormones responsible for good mood, such as serotonin, prolactin and oxytocin.
Step 6
Smile. It is scientifically proven that smiling allows you to activate those parts of our brain that are associated with feelings of happiness.
Step 7
Eat more chocolate. The smell of chocolate alone can make us happier. It's not for nothing that we feel the urge to eat a chocolate bar when we're in a bad mood. The tryptophan in chocolate can increase the production of the hormone of happiness.
Step 8
Dedicate some of your free time to creativity. If you are experiencing negative emotions, try splashing them out on paper. Inspiration is not always the result of a calm and happy life.
Step 9
Exercise regularly. Exercising for 30 minutes daily can help relieve symptoms of depression.
Step 10
Eat to be happy. There is a list of certain foods that can improve our mood. A person with a lack of omega-3 fatty acids in the body is most prone to depression. A lack of selenium can also affect your emotional background.
