Your mental health is an important part of your overall health and wellness. Everyone has bad days, but it's important to be mindful and make sure that those bad days don't start adding up. Here are seven things that you can do to improve your mood today.
Focus on the positives
Negative thoughts and a bad mood can be self-perpetuating. Breaking the cycle is one of the most beneficial things you can do to improve your mood. It's also one of the most difficult things to do. Instead of focusing on problems, negative moments, and unpleasant experiences in your life, emphasize the positive things in your life and the good things that you experience throughout the day.
Challenge yourself
Challenge yourself by setting a goal each day to bring positivity into your life. Here are a few things that you can try.
- Compliment five people.
- List three things you're thankful for.
- Do something nice for someone.
- Let someone know how much they mean to you.
- Smile more.
Do things you enjoy
It's good to do things for others and be generous with your time and energy, but you can't neglect your own needs. Set time aside each day for yourself. Find healthy hobbies or pastimes that make you happy.
Manage your stress
Sometimes improving your mood is a simple matter of removing negative thoughts and feelings. Acute stress can help push us to accomplish difficult tasks and meet deadlines, but chronic stress can have a negative impact on both our physical and mental health.
Stay active
Those who are physically active are at a lower risk of clinical depression.
Physical activity may also reduce the symptoms of depression. Stay active to improve your mood. You don't have to lift weights or run on a treadmill at the gym, though. Going for a walk, a hike, a bike ride, or other fun activity that gets you up off the couch is all that it takes.
Get outside
There's significant research examining the relationship between mood and time spent outdoors. Whether it's the sunshine, the fresh air, the beautiful scenery, or the physical activity, more and more evidence suggests that
time spent in nature is good for your mood and mental health.
