I may have said some of this stuff before and please forgive me if I have, but if I have then it’s because this stuff really works!!
(1) Get Plenty of Sunlight!
Lack of exposure to sunlight is responsible for the secretion of the hormone melatonin, which could make you down hearted and sluggish.
So open your curtains, even the windows now its summer and let in some light and fresh air. Get outside for at least half an hour. Get brighter lights for your rooms, take regular break when travelling or even invest in a lamp that spreads natural light into your room to raise your mood.
(2) Get Busy!
If you are busy you’re not going to make the time to focus on the negatives… so start thinking about what you like to do and do it….It doesn’t have to involve money, it could be walking in the park, joining a walkers club, joining local volunteers in a project you enjoy, visiting the library, enrolling on a free course, local community event or club. A purpose, friends and belonging, will always aid your self-esteem.
(3) Chill-Relax!
Take some time out and relax… Listen to soothing music, soak in a nice warm bath, visit a spa, meditate, listen to a relaxation audio, do whatever is relaxing for you…Take a break, Take it easy and loosen up!
(4) Eat & Drink to improve your mood!
You don’t have to be a slave to a diet or strict routine just be aware of what you eat and drink. Sugar and caffeine can give bought of instant energy but then slumps later and tension, low moods and energy. Alcohol whilst ok in moderation like all things can become a depressant so just watch what you drink, if you know that certain drinks made you melancholy, its simple avoid them!
(5) Broaden your Social Circle!
Humans are fundamentally pack animals, we need interaction with others. Spending a lot of time alone is not beneficial to self esteem or positive mindsets so get on the phone and call someone up, visit a friend or relative, go to the local community club and join a group or help out. We all benefit greatly from a support group and a feeling of belonging being part of something bigger than ourselves, so get out there and start talking. If the thought of actually physically talking to someone you don’t know yet is too daunting, then maybe join an online forum in a subject you enjoy and converse on their and build your confidence. There are many charities and volunteer groups that would welcome your support and assistance. When you are out, walk tall, meet others gaze, smile and say hello, (or just smile!) remember, that simple gesture will not only lift your spirits but it could be the only interaction that other person has had for days…
To your Happiness! All the best, Loran
