Are You Dealing With Mood Swings?

3/18/2019

Oh, those mood swings that seem to be an inevitable part of our lives!
​

Did you know you can actually control them so the good days are even better and the bad days aren’t so bad after all? Regardless of your age, surroundings or background, you can reduce your mood swings and increase your overall happiness.

 Four proven ways to reduce mood swings and increase your happiness:

1)  Diet and Mood Swings – What you eat really does make a difference in how you feel each day, especially your overall mood. Eating lots of fresh, organic fruits, vegetables, high-quality grains and lean protein is a good place to start. Your “happiness baseline” will be higher and you can keep on improving. You can also add dark chocolate and stay away from alcohol, nicotine and sugar for even more success in balancing mood swings.

2)  Exercise and Mood Swings – Getting a “runner’s high” is the result of prolonged physical activity because it releases mood-enhancing endorphins.  This  equates to 30 minutes of aerobic exercise two to three times a week which can have a very positive effect on your overall happiness. Exercise also keeps your body healthier and gives you more energy which lessens the risk of going into a slump.

3)  Rest and Mood Swings – We can’t emphasize enough the importance of getting a minimum of six or seven hours of sleep a night. Your body must have sleep to repair itself! Rest also encompasses quiet time in the form of meditation, sitting quietly sipping a warm beverage or any other method of quieting the body and mind without distractions. Our addiction to technology is a major contributor to the stress in America today!
​
4)  Happiness Emphasis and Mood Swings – It is possible to elevate your mood by simple daily exercises.
  • Write down something positive that happened in the past 24 hours…even if you had a “bad” day.
  • Write down three things for which you are grateful every day.
  • Give and share…”paying it forward” actually releases dopamine which makes both the giver and receiver feel happy!

These bonus tips will help you get started on your way to more happiness and less stress in your life:
​
  • Keep a food journal
  • Exercise with a workout buddy
  • Take a relaxing vacation…even if it’s a weekend away from home.
  • Go out and thank someone for an immediate happiness boost.
