Guide out of a bad mood
Quick Tips
Smile
Try to smile, even if you don’t feel like it. Psychologically even smiling a fake smile lifts our mood.
Visualise
Stop and visualise yourself as a calm and happy person. Your imagination is powerful.
Go Green
It is said that psychologically the colour green brings happiness. Put on something green to wear, grab a green blanket or get out amidst some green trees.
Cuddle and Snuggle
Snuggling up in a soft blanket can significantly boost your mood. So can a cuddle from a loved one or a hug from a friend.
