Even the happiest of people have days when they feel down in the dumps. Fortunately, there are things you can do to remedy your situation and chase those doldrums away!
1. Listen to good music – There’s nothing that cures your ills like boogying down to some good dance music or rocking out to the sounds of your favorite rock bands. There something about music that makes us come alive and want to get up and move! So, put on some good tunes and shake your butt!
2. Go for a walk – Going on a good nature walk on a beautiful Spring day lifts the spirits and feels so good. Walking is also one of the best exercises there is, so, there are physical health benefits to it as well.
3. Indulge in your hobbies – working on and completing your hobbies brings out your creative side and gives you the feeling of success and accomplishment. It gives you pride in yourself and in your abilities. And who doesn’t love that?
4. Surround yourself with your favorite people – Being around the people you love, who love you, and who lift you up feeds your soul like nothing else. When you get together with your loved ones, you know you belong, and you get that much needed sense of belonging and togetherness.
5. Fix yourself up – As the old saying goes, when you look good, you feel good. When you take pride in your appearance, it shows. Looking your best has a way of building your confidence and your self-esteem. And it also has a way of spreading to others.
The good thing as that you have options. Do any one of these things and watch your mood skyrocket in just minutes. You’ll be glad you did. I promise!

To be a great champion you must believe you are the best. If you’re not, pretend you are.
Absolutely right! Sometimes you must fake it until you make it! <3 And I've even read many articles from different writers who work in psychology that advocate this! I might cover this more in depth in a future post! Thank you so much for your thoughts! <3
Watch your thoughts, they become your words. Watch your words, they become your actions. Watch your actions, they become your destiny!
So true! 💯 If you act confident, you can actually grow and become confident!
Your destiny is too great, your assignment too important, your time too valuable. Do not let fear intimidate you.
Absolutely right! 💯 I love your thoughts on this! 💖
I find walking very therapeutic – especially if you are in nice surroundings.

Thank you, Kim

listening to good music and taking a walk, the first two things on your list, is my go-to whenever I am feeling down. Bobbing my head to funky beats and breathing in the fresh air can really do wonders to my mood
