Feeling tired and down? These are a few of my favourite options to help boost your mood:
1. Get some sunshine or Vitamin D: being outside in nature and sunlight helps to boost our moods and increases the “happy hormone” Vitamin D.
2. Move your body: Find something you enjoy that gets you moving. Anything from dancing in your room to yoga. Mental health benefits are feeling more energetic, calm, increased self-esteem and better concentration.
3. Focus on positive events: Build in activities or events into your day that you enjoy! Cook a favourite meal, spend time with people you enjoy, read, draw, watch a favourite movie/show. The list can go on and on!
4. 3 good things: Write out 3 things from your day that you liked. In doing this you are helping to train your brain to notice good things and not only focus on negative situations or events.
These are not the only ways to boost your mood but are ways to start and things I find helpful. Hope these are helpful for you also! If you would like to learn more about ways to boost your mood, please contact me for therapeutic support!
