Method one: physical activity
A very simple exercise will help to raise the tone of the whole body: jumping rope, over a ball, or just jumping. Remember how kids jump just because they want to move? Try to jump in the same way, swinging your arms and moving your legs in different directions. At the same time, it is good to imagine yourself as a rag doll - this way it will be better to relax the body. If you add funny counting rhymes to this exercise, the mood will rise very quickly.
Method two: look happy
This method is based on the ability of the nervous system to respond to muscle movements. As a rule, when something bad happens, the nervous system gives the body a command, and it reacts appropriately: the face becomes gloomy, the shoulders drop, etc. Let's turn on the reverse process: straighten your back, relax your face and smile as broadly as possible. Psychologists believe that facial expressions can influence mood - let's make a happy facial expression to get a good mood.
Method three: fond memories
Surely you have a photo album that contains pictures of the most pleasant moments in life. Review them, remember these happy events and recharge them with positive energy. Let your thoughts turn to the positive side of life, then you will understand that the black stripe will eventually pass and the white one will come again.
Fourth way: putting things in order
Occupational therapy is known to be the best cure for blues. Therefore, cleaning the apartment is considered one hundred percent cure for bad mood. At the same time, we get two in one: physical activity plus the result of work. You can wash windows, arrange a general cleaning, or just sort things out and throw out all the old stuff. You will see that after these exercises, the mood will become an order of magnitude higher.
Fifth way: learn to enjoy ordinary things
This method is more complicated than the previous ones, but for someone it will be the most suitable. To learn this, you can go to the window in the morning and try to find 10 objects to admire in the surrounding landscape. It can be a kid in a sandbox, a beautiful car, an unusual cloud in the sky, a tree - whatever. Gradually, you will learn to pay attention to pleasant little things, and then it will be easier to maintain a good mood.
Method six: helping other people
Psychologists have noticed that if a person is fixated only on himself, then he experiences a bad mood very often. And if you learn to pay attention to other people, find out their interests and needs and start helping them, then the circle of communication, the circle of concerns will expand significantly and there will be no time for the blues. However, the point is not only this: a person begins to feel himself needed by another, and this is very important.
Seventh way: communicate
The great Saint-Exupery said that communication is the main luxury for a person. When people talk, they exchange their vibrations, and someone in a more positive frame of mind can help boost your mood. Communicate with positive, confident people who are always ready to help, open and warm. Their vibrations will raise the tone of your mood - you kind of tune in to this positive wave.
