Bad moods are contagious... And, no one wants to catch yours! It is so easy to get down about something and then walk around pulling everyone down with you. We all do it. I know that I am guilty of this. Yet, I am finding that there are ways to "cure" a bad mood.
Next time you are feeling down, don't snap at everyone within earshot.
Instead, try one of these suggestions!
- Go to a quiet place and read
- Take a quick walk around the block
- Call up a long lost friend and laugh!
- Turn on your favorite TV show
- Cheer someone else up
- Take a cat-nap
- Blast your music super loud
- Enjoy a cup of tea
- Dance, exercise, run-- get moving
- Remind yourself "Tomorrow is another day!"
There is no reason to let a bad mood eat away at you. As my best friend always says, "Stress is the worst thing you can do to your body." Taking your stress out on others is a pretty nasty thing to do to your friendships. I believe that there is no reason to suffer from an unnecessary bad mood, and even less of a reason to make others suffer. So skip the snappy comebacks and long winded complaints. Just do something to change it.
