We all have those days when we're just in a mood...and not a good one! If you ever find yourself feeling down or moody for no particular reason, here are a few of my tips to put a smile on your face! Actually, I would suggest doing all of these things on a regular basis. Laughter is good for the soul. :)
-Watch YouTube videos of laughing babies. If this doesn't make you laugh, I don't know what will!
-Dance like a wild crazy maniac for 5 minutes-try it! You'll feel better, I promise! Just go nuts.
-Read some encouraging Bible scriptures-The Psalms are a good place to start.
-Go for a walk and appreciate everything around you-the sights, the smells, the wind blowing through your hair. Be thankful that you have eyes to see, ears to hear, and feet to walk with.
-Soak up the sun for 10-15 minutes. For me, this instantly makes me feel better!
-Take a ride with all the windows down and blast the radio up loud-I'd recommend oldies music!
-Make funny faces at yourself in the mirror. Try to make the ugliest face you can. I swear, it cracks me up everytime. Okay, maybe that one just works for me, haha!
-Hug someone!
-Go outside and do some cartwheels! Really-do it, I dare you!
-Spend time with a dog. They give unconditional love and bring so much joy! Snuggling up to my doggy always makes me feel happy! :)

Deletegreat tips! I was just thinking this morning that dogs definitely have the right idea about life. I can say "wanna go?" or "I'm gonna get that ball!" and they go crazy! Cracks me up and their enthusiasm is contagious.
ReplyDeleteThey sure do! Just the smallest things make them happy-they are such a joy!
