Coping with Moodiness
Bad moods and mood swings can affect everyone around you, so getting help is very important.
- Keep your hands busy. Putter in the garden, play the piano, chop vegetables, mend clothing, work on a hobby or favorite craft – anything that will focus your attention and get your mind off your moods. Additionally, these types of activities are right-brain stimulating which studies prove can fend off foul mood.
- Take a hike. A short, brisk walk – even 10 minutes – can pound that bad mod right out through the soles of your feet. Breathe deeply as you walk and swing those arms. You’ll start feeling better in no time.
- Listen to upbeat music. Music has charms to soothe the savage breast, so it’s said, and it can also soothe a rough mood. Play something you can dance to. Don’t feel silly. Get up and get your feet moving.
- Treat yourself. Whether it’s a new dress, a facial at your favorite spa or some time alone to read a new bestseller, do it now. Some self-pampering can do the trick to banish a bad mood.
