How to overcome a terrible mood ?! We will talk about the most effective and efficient methods. Ready?! Then go ahead!

Why terrible mood?

When a bad depressive mood, literally everything is annoying. Some people express a terrible mood by aggression on external stimuli, in others it manifests itself in complete apathy and unwillingness to even say a word with someone.

When a person is not in a good mood, he has a terrible mood, what reasons can this provoke? This condition is preceded by the following events in life:

• Communication with an unpleasant person. Absolutely everyone should not like us, and everyone should not love us. However, the slightest contact with a person unpleasant for you spoils the mood. Therefore, a terrible day, a terrible mood, and this terrible “irritant”.
• Health problems. Headache, migraine can unsettle anyone. I can’t enjoy life with severe pain. It is a fact.
• Problems in the personal sphere. Things are not going well at work, debts, love is also not glued, their own children upset - there are no reasons to count them all.
  
• Non-acceptance of special dates. Many women do not like to celebrate their birthday. Moreover, they are upset on the eve of this day or a few days before the celebration. Thoughts on aging do not leave.
• "Weather" blues. For many people, the mood depends on the weather. It has begun to rain - a bad mood for the whole day is guaranteed, snow has fallen - which means I’ll definitely get my feet wet. There are many options. Depression can occur seasonally. Often this phenomenon occurs in creative and impressionable individuals.

If the soul hurts, cats scratch there without ceasing, you need to listen to your condition. Only by analyzing the problem of depression, knowing yourself, you can find a way out of the spleen.

Listening to ourselves

If you are in a terrible mood, then it's time to chat with your inner self. analyze your internal state. Only this method will help to understand what is the reason for the bad mood. Listen to your inner feelings. What do you feel? Try to understand what exactly upsets you. Only with independent internal work can a person find the cause of discomfort within himself.

Feeling and observing their condition is not given to everyone. If a person cannot “peer” into his soul, then he should turn to a psychologist. With the help of special techniques and psychological exercises, you can learn to understand your feelings and understand what to do next.

How to fight?

Only an iron lady can restrain her emotions, being in a bad mood. Most of the people react emotionally not only to changes in life, but also to a terrible mood. However, such a state does not color you internally, much less externally. Do you want to stay ugly for a long time? So, pick yourself up! As stated in the famous novel by I. Ilf and E. Petrov “The Twelve Chairs”: the salvation of drowning people is the work of the drowning people themselves. So, forward to action:

• Treat yourself to a gift. At the first attacks of the spleen, buy a gift for yourself. Even if there is not enough money in your wallet for the desired new thing, then you will definitely find a bar of delicious chocolate. Chocolate will always cheer you up, and in minutes. It increases the production of serotonin - the hormone of happiness. We need to get it.
• Love yourself. Beauty is what you need in a bad mood. “Clean the feathers”: align the tips, a new manicure and pedicure - a guarantee of a good mood.

• Call your friends. As life experience shows, a bachelorette party helps to forget about a bad mood. And all the problems that you share with your friends do not seem so serious at all.
• New romantic adventure. If a woman is in a bad mood, then you can experiment a little. For example, we go to social networks and raise morale with a new acquaintance. Why not become a fatal woman at least for the evening?
• Turn on comedy or romance. The genre of the film depends on the characteristics of the character of a woman in a bad mood. Someone is crazy about melodramas, and someone is not against brightening up the evening by watching science fiction or action film. The main thing is with a good ending. Otherwise, the mood will only worsen.

And here is a recommendation for men: if your soulmate is in a depressed mood, then remember that a warm hug, attention, compliment and a small gift will never let you be discouraged.

"Eat" a good mood - get it

Few people know that some foods contain “happiness”: substances that improve mood. So, we take out a notebook or write down a note in a smartphone:

• chocolate;
  
• coffee;
• spicy pepper;
• nuts
• meat and fish;
• citrus fruits (especially tangerines and oranges);
• celery (soup with celery - a miracle cure).

Of course, no one canceled their favorite dishes. Why can’t you please yourself, especially if you’re in a bad mood? Very necessary!

Add Activities

What to do when a terrible mood? Many simply wrap themselves in a blanket, lie on the sofa and begin to roar, pitying themselves. Forget about this "destructive" rule! Make yourself move, energize your body. Jogging, dancing, fitness training, swimming - all active sports will help to forget about apathy forever.

Do not be afraid that you are tired. Of course, you will feel the effects of physical activity, but immediately feel psychologically freedom and vigor.

If you are not ready to be active physically, then walking as an alternative. However, you need to go fast. Walking speed is directly proportional to mood improvement speed. The faster you go, the better oxygen saturates the blood. Therefore, sad pessimistic thoughts go away from your life.

In no case do not think about the bad. Yes. This is hard. But you have to overcome yourself. Positive dance music with headphones helps you. Take advantage, do not regret it!

Meet the new!

How to defeat a terrible mood? Take your thoughts into new business! For example:

• We are looking for a new hobby. Some ladies are moping with the abundance of free time. It's true? If a woman is a business person, then there is not even time to think about a bad mood. You need to do something efficient. Why not do hand made?
  
  Can an interesting brooch made by oneself upset? Never. On the contrary, it will burst with pride in its own creative product.
• We attend interesting courses. Psychological trainings, cooking classes or visage can raise your spirits. And then we fix the result. Why not try out new makeup on yourself? The mood will rise twice.

Try auto-training. I would like to recall the film “The Most Charming and Attractive” directed by G. Bezhanov.

In this amazing movie, simple recommendations are given on how to deal with a bad mood. A good mood after watching is guaranteed. And self-hypnosis is a whole effective art.

What is a bad mood afraid of?

Paradoxical as it may seem, the enemy of a bad mood is laughter. Laugh! The muscles in the face capture emotions. Therefore, as soon as the lips spread out in a smile, the “fun” reaction immediately enters the brain. Of course, in theory everything is going well. However, this is a proven first way to attack a bad mood.

Have a little holiday. And the reason is literally "under your feet." For example, the victory of your favorite team in the championship, the birthday of your favorite cat or dog, anniversary, etc. Invite your friends and have fun from the heart.

Getting smarter and happier

Another way to improve your mood is to engage in self-development. Yes, oddly enough, but intellectual activity is useful in a wide range.

Firstly, you are developing mentally. Secondly, the inner belief that you will become even smarter will immediately affect the mood. Solve scanwords, open an unfinished interesting book, pass psychological tests, play board games. Better think of your own activities. What do you want to do now? Gather the will into a fist and do it.

How to get ahead of depression?

Of course, there are situations in which ordinary methods are simply powerless to improve mood. However, being depressed is not an option. By the way, psychologists say that depression leads to a gradual loss of self-confidence. Logically, who will be interested in a depressed, pessimistic, insecure person? The maximum you “attract” to yourself the same people like yourself.

If a serious psychological problem sits inside, then consult a psychologist. It will help guide you in finding a way out of this situation. Remember that everything passes. Failure will not be an eternal life partner.

Life is not only black and white colors. It should burn and dazzle with bright positive shades. From what brush and in what color you mock up, your day and your whole life will depend. “Lather” your life into all the colors of the rainbow!

Let every moment be filled only with positive and light shades. Go boldly through your rainbow of life, and may depression never come in your way!
