Have you ever struggled with finding ways to shake bad moods?

Who here has even been in a bad mood?

So what causes bad moods?

Think of yourself as having a stress threshold. When the line is crossed, you get into a bad mood.

This may cause anger, irritability, or what have you. Then your blood pressure increases, your stress hormone (cortisol) increases, and they both start to soar.

Here are 5 ways to get out of a bad mood.

  1. Meditate

• Sometimes you just need a moment to stop and breathe.
• Meditation puts you back on track to focus and steer away from negative thoughts.

2. Rest

• We live in a culture where “we have to get everything done. When you are in a bad mood, sometimes you just have to put “everything” to the side and take care of your mental well-being.
• Resting can be as simple as disconnecting. That does not mean you need to sleep or take a nap. Although, that may help too.

3. Gratitude

• Gratitude is the power to switch your mindset from negativity to abundance and positivity.
• I have an article too on gratitude on my website www.thinkmefirst.com and can also be found in a few prior WTF videos

4. Connect with your support system

• This tactic is often underrated but important.
• When we are able to talk about our feelings to someone, they become less intense and you get another perspective.

5. Exercise

• This can be a simple walk, workout, or gardening.
• Exercise is physical thing that can get rid of negative energy.

Final Thoughts:

Bad moods absolutely suck!

As I have said on numerous occasions, we are still responsible for how we feel and react. That gives you back the power and control over your mood.

Nothing lasts forever, not even a bad mood.

One day you will look back at the moment and laugh.
