Ever get stuck in a bad mood? Or one where you feel as if you have no motivation or clarity? Here’s some tips to help.
1. Open the windows and curtains.
This not only brings fresh air into the room, but studies show that hospital patients heal faster with windows within sight in their rooms and students with windows in the classrooms display improved memory.
2. Freshen up.
Brush and floss your teeth, clip your nails, do your eyebrows, and/or get a massage. These simple things can improve self confidence and just make you feel better in general.
3. Organize!
It’s not as if I like cleaning, (alright, maybe I do..!) But organizing can basically pull me out of any rut. There’s something about seeing order; clothes color-coded in the closet, dishes stacked perfectly in the kitchen, a spotless desk with all the pencils pointing in the same direction.
4. Take a walk!
SURPRISE! One of the most obvious but most helpful things to do. It clears your head, gets your heart pumping, and reminds you that you’re not the only person alive.
5. Do something that makes you focus, but isn’t too hard.
Try drawing, coloring, writing, anything creative that you don’t feel too bad about!
6. Caffeine.
The title speaks for itself.
7. Alternatively, take a nap.
Sleep rejuvenates the body and mind, improves mood, helps you feel awake, and most of all, it’s relaxing.
8. Just do something!
Go outside and do anything! Anything that gets you out of bed and boredom! If you can, then grab a book and go to a coffee shop!
