3 Simple Ways To Boost Your Mood

     Are you looking for easy ways to boost your mood? Here are 2 simple ways to instantly feel more grounded during an episode of anxiety or sadness. 

     1.) Pause! This may sound strange, but during the times of feeling frustrated, flustered, anxious and confused, often times the mind is going too fast to be able to think about anything but chaos. When you are starting to feel the energy rise within the body, stop, and take a few deep breaths. This gives you the opportunity to regroup and settle into the present moment. The present moment is the only place that the physical body can be in, only the mind can go back to the past and into the future. The next time you are feeling imbalanced emotionally, stop, and give yourself the chance to reflect on what it is that you need to do to move forward with peace. 

     2.) Dance! Dancing around an open space frees the mind and body of all worries. Getting the blood circulating through the body, fresh oxygen to the brain, and also stimulates the lymphatic system which is extremely important in filtering toxins from the body. Removing toxic waste from the body actually aids in the bodies process of healing. Next time you are feeling tense and uptight, find an open space, turn on the music, and just DANCE! 

     3.) Step outside. Being in nature is one of the fastest ways to feel inner stillness. Nature provides us with that soft and warm hug of peace that we need in order to truly heal. The body cannot step into a state of healing when it is in the sympathetic nervous system, fight or flight. But it CAN heal when it is in the rest and digest state. Learning what it feels like to be in and out of each of these states, equips you with what you need in order to stay within the one that feels nourishing. Your body knows exactly what it needs to do to heal when given half the chance. So choose to give it every chance you can! 

     Finding ways to boost your mood can actually be quite simple and accessible for most. It is so important to prioritize your healing, which will maintain mood and energy. Allowing your body to step into full restoration!
