Heading Towards the Brightside: Ideas for Lifting Your Mood

Heading Towards the Brightside: Ideas for Lifting Your Mood

It feels like we’re coming out of a long dark winter. Yes, I know Delta is raging, but there are signs of life in my world. Live music (even with masks) is beginning to give our local musicians an opportunity to earn their living, and more importantly, DO WHAT THEY (WE) LOVE.

I don’t know about you, but the shutdown was hard. And the emergence has caused so many of my friends and colleagues to reconnect with a renewed commitment to kindness and helpfulness. How can I help you emerge?

Here are a few ideas that have helped me regain my happy self.

SIX IDEAS TO LIFT YOUR MOOD

#1. Visualize Positive Outcomes

#2. Change How You React to Emotions

anger
fear
sadness
worry

#3. Try Something New

#4. Reach out

#5. Practice Positive-Self Social Media

6. Walk Barefoot in the Woods

At the end of the day. Don’t be so hard on yourself. Celebrate small victories and take care of yourself because you’re worth it!
