Boost Your Mood In Seconds!

A really quick way to boost your mood when you are feeling down? Be grateful! Seriously, it's practicly impossible to stay really low when you start to give thanks or even just think about all the things in life that you are grateful for. No matter how low you are when you start to do this, I gaurentee that within a few minutes you will start to feel better! There may be days when you are so low that the last thing on your mind is how you might be grateful for anything however, just start and you will be amazed.

You might be thinking that there isn't anything that you are grateful for but just think about it for a few minutes..... Or you might be stuck in a place that sees the negative in 'everything' to the extent you can't see the good even in such things as being able to see, hear, taste etc but trust me, persevere. You can stop your mind from answering back with negative comments, yes you can, you just have to tell it to stop and talk even louder about the positive stuff and it will stop. So, for instance, if your mind is saying something like "but if I couldn't taste it would be great because then it wouldn't matter what I ate and that would make life so much easier!" override that with back talk such as "However, think how much I enjoy eating and tasting things such as ?, ?, ?, (replace question marks with your favourite food..) and it would be so sad if I couldn't taste those!"

Just start; the only thing you can do when you want to do something, the only action necessary to change or move forward, is to start.

So how many things are you grateful for today? There are millions of things really if we get right down to it and this exercise can actually take some time up ~ wow, just think what a massive boost of positive energy you will give yourself if you take up 10 or 15 minutes in any day to write down (or think about) all the things that you are grateful for!

Be creative; have fun; start from within.
