Have You Been Feeling Down Lately?
There are plenty of things you can do if you’re feeling down. You could pout and sulk. Or you could find something to do that renews your appreciation of life.
There are lots of positive things that you overlook when your mood turns sour. Check out these simple ways to cheer yourself up when you are feeling down.
Appreciate Life And Enhance Your Mood:
1. Go to the park or the beach. Get outside and enjoy the fresh air. Choose your favorite outdoor location: beach, mountains, park, or lake. It’s up to you. Spend some time outdoors.
2. Call a friend. You know the right friend to call. It’s the one with the upbeat attitude about life that always makes you smile. Call them up and see what’s happened since you last chatted.
3. Lie outside in the sunshine. Find a reclining chair or a nice patch of grass. Lie down and feel the sun on your face.
4. Make a list of goals. If you’re feeling down, the future might seem bleak. Create an exciting vision for the future by setting some audacious goals. You’ll be inspired to make those goals a reality.
5. Exercise. Go for a run, take a yoga class, or attempt to break your personal bench press record. Exercise always makes you feel better.
6. Order takeout. Call your favorite takeout place and order your favorite dish. Call a friend to join you if you like. Remember to include dessert!
7. Dance around your living room in your underwear. Put on your favorite songs and dance the evening away. Why in your underwear? A better question is “Why not?” Break out of your normal routine.
8. Plan a trip. It can be a day trip, weekend getaway, or something more substantial. Let your imagination run wild.
