| Turn Down Into Up |
|
| It’s great when you wake up in an amazing mood for no reason at all. But we’ve also been there when you just feel rubbish. So how do you change it? |
|
The Do List
1: Move! Give your body, mind and spirit a jolt.
3-minute perk: Do jumping jacks or dance to the radio.
Keep it going: Run, ride your bike or head to the swings. Get outside!
2: Eat Happy Foods! Can certain food make you happy? YES!
3-minute perk: Chomp on a banana or berries for a mood boost.
Keep it going: Choose natural, healthy snacks.
3: Be nosey! Your brain connects happy smells with happy feelings.
3-minute perk: Walk into a bakery, chocolatier or coffee house and take a whiff.
Keep it going: Use lavender, chamomile or geranium body wash. Apply scented moisturiser or perfume after.
4: DO Something… Anything! The opposite of laziness is energy.
3-minute perk: take a shower, call a friend, play with the dog…
Keep it going: Make a list of ‘happy’ activities to try out if a bad mood arrives.
The Don’t List
While you’re seeking out positive activities, make sure you:
Limit sugary snacks, junk food or caffeine.
Don’t mope.- bad moods can grow! Treat it like a little brother – ignore and it’ll go away!
If you find yourself more down than up for more than a few days in a row, tell a grownup. Talking is a great way to work out your feelings.
Balancing Act
The next time you wake up grumpy think of your mood as a swing – what comes down can go up again! |
