Elevate your mood

8 39

Good morning friends, welcome to my article, after some while I said let me post this here. It has not really been a good week for me but am up and alive and thankfull to God. November is about coming to an end in some few days to come we are approaching December 😊... Merry Christmas in advance to you all

These tips can help you elevate your mood, become more resilient and enjoy life more.

1. Make social connection — especially face-to-face — a priority

Phone calls and social networks have their place, but few things can beat the stress-busting, mood-boosting power of quality face-to-face time with other people, especially those you love and people who energize you.

2. Stay active

Staying active is as good for the brain as it is for the body. Regular exercise or activity can have a major impact on your mental and emotional health, relieve stress, improve memory, and help you sleep better.

3. Talk to someone

Talk to a friendly face. If you have concerns, stresses or worries, sharing these with someone who cares is one of the most effective ways to calm your nervous system and relieve stress.

4. Appeal to your senses

Does listening to an uplifting song make you feel calm? Does squeezing a stress ball help you feel centred? What about taking a walk in nature and enjoying the sights and sounds of the trees? Everyone responds to sensory input a little differently, so experiment to find what works best for you.

5. Take up a relaxation practice

Yoga, mindfulness, meditation and deep breathing can help reduce overall levels of stress.

6. Make leisure and contemplation a priority

We can all be guilty of being "too busy" to take some down time, but leisure time is a necessity for emotional and mental health. Take some time to relax, contemplate, and pay attention to the positive things as you go about your day — even the small things. Write them down if you can, because they can be easy to forget. Then reflect on them later if your mood is in need of a boost.

7. Eat a brain-healthy diet to support strong mental health

Foods that can support your mood include fatty fish rich in omega-3s, nuts

I thank everyone for all your support, thanks for reading and visiting 😊

These are all good things to change our moods. Music is a big one for me, it really can jump start what mood we need to be in. I try to live an active lifestyle with diet and exercise. My leisure activities that gives me mind rest is nature, usually in the form of fishing. Finding someone to talk to and trust is very important. I can say that I have recently found someone that I feel comfortable sharing everything with. The only other thing I would add is bringing God in our life.
