Down in the Dumbs? Boost your Mood!


Boost my mood? How?
 
Easy: 

Have chocolates
Although sweet and rich, you may eat dark chocolate without any guilt feelings. The health benefits of dark chocolates are that it lowers blood pressure, increases the blood flow and assists the ‘good’ cholesterol. But, please only moderate portions per day, ladies but it will do wonders for your mood.

Aromatherapy is good for you
Aromatherapy seems to be good for you. Studies show that breathing in natural perfumed scents can lift mood, like lavender which is my favorite. So, indulge in some aromatherapy. Spray lavender water on your pillow tonight. Sweet dreams!

Send all your kisses for him or her
In your hectic daily schedule stop with a peck here or there or even blowing kisses to your loved one. The secret is that you must give your loved one a really lingering kiss.

Not only will giving your sweetheart a good kiss burn calories, but that kiss also reduces stress, boost your immune system, and strengthen your bond with your loved one.

Treat yourself with a manicure
Those hands of yours are like busy bees. They fly over a computer keyboard, wield hammer and nails, tuck in the kids, hug your honey, scrub, brush, etc. Treat these little hard workers with a manicure. Like massage, a manicure involves contact with another person through touch, which not only makes you feel pampered, it may even improve self-esteem. Now that's a stress reliever.

Have a good laugh
No one will differ from me – laughter is good for you. Studies show that a good laugh decrease stress, boosts up your immunity, improves blood flow, and stabilizes blood pressure. A good laugh may even help keep blood sugar levels down and aid digestion.

Call a friend

Good friends are good for you. Whether you see them every day or once in a while, friends foster a sense of belonging, purpose, and self-worth. Friendship even keeps you on a mental high. So grab the phone and give your friend a call.

A Woman's Recipe




Take a cup of patience
And a big heartful of love
Add a bowl of generosity
To blend with the above;
Put in a dash of laughter
And some understanding too
Sprinkle it with kindness
And memories old and new.
Add some faith before you mix it
Till the dish is rich and sweet
Then enjoy a heaped up portion
With everyone you meet!

Music - the Universal Language



Music is indeed the universal language and does not know any human made boundaries. It can inspire, uplift and motivate people. Music can also be relaxing and can move any person to tears, laughter and joy.

The power of music has been known and used since the beginning of human kind. 

There are many kinds of music. Fast, upbeat music combined with a workout stimulates the brain and body into movement whilst relaxing music lulls the mind and body into a relaxed state. Soft relaxing music helps getting children to quieten down and at night time whilst reading a bedtime story helps to create the right atmosphere for sleep.

Music is a magical tool, one that works for people of any age. Like smells, music can be strongly linked to one’s emotional state. It can take a person back in time or remind them of certain people. 

Nobody can be without music - make it part of your life and enjoy the many psychological and health benefits.

Laughter is Indeed the Best Medicine



One of the best ways to loosen up and relax is to laugh. Laughter releases endorphins that make you feel good.

A good belly laugh releases a lot of muscular tension and benefits body, mind and soul. 

Get together with uplifting friends, go see a funny movie, or poke your nose into a funny book.

Work on your sense of humour



If you want to have more fulfilling relationships you might want to consider sharpening your sense of humour as a great place to start.

1. Cultivate an atmosphere of humour and laughter

Begin to cultivate an atmosphere of humour and laughter in your relationships by focussing on the funny things in life and enjoying the laughter they evoke. Soon you will be seeing humour all over and enjoying it fully.

2. Associate with fun-loving people

If you don't laugh as much as you used to and want to correct the situation start associating with humorous, fun loving people and avoid the kill joys of life.

3. Learn to laugh at yourself

If you don't laugh at yourself other will do it for you. So many people are unable to laugh at themselves because of their own insecurities and fears. They are afraid to look foolish in the eyes of others and appear to be incompetent.

4. Make a habit of collecting jokes

Collect cartoons and jokes and put them on display for all to see and enjoy. Remember, there is plenty of good clean humour to go around. Keep the humour clean.

5. Use humour to neutralize conflict

Learn how to be witty. When things get tense use wit or humour to brighten things up. Humour can let the biggest bully crack a smile or even burst out in laughter.

Remember, cry and you cry alone; laugh and the whole world share your joy!
