Letโs face it – not every day can be a GREAT day.ย
We all have bad days. Whether it is a succession of little things going wrong all day or one big catastrophe – bad days create bad moods.
And while we canโt always control the negative circumstances – we actually do have the power to control (or at least influence) our moods!
These 8 simple tricks can help bust a bad mood even on your worst day.ย
๐ Smile. Studies show that the simple act of smiling can actually significantly boost your mood and release tension.ย
๐ Smell lavender or citrus. Both natural scents have components that release stress and increase your calm.ย
๐ Think of what you are grateful for.. Even write it down. When things arenโt going well, itโs easy to only focus on the negative. Taking a minute to write down the good things will help change your perspective.ย
๐ Get cozy. According to research, climbing under a soft blanket or putting on your comfiest sweats can actually boost your mood based on the contact with soft fabric.ย
