Things You Can Do To Boost Your Mood When You Are Down

Everyone gets into a bad mood once in a while. What if that mood sticks around, and does not seem to go away? It is no longer just a case of the Monday's. 

Elite Daily has explored moods, and have found some ways that can really change your mood and make you feel better all the way around. Try a few of these ideas.

1. Eat a bit better- When we are not in the best of moods, we reach for comfort foods. The problem with this is, you end up crashing later. So grab yourself something healthy and feed that mood with nutrition.

2. Do some running- According to Pete McCall of Womens Running he says that running:

“increases the levels of neurotransmitters such as epinephrine, serotonin, norepinephrine and dopamine, all of which influence your energy levels as well as make you feel great after a challenging workout.”

3. Put some Jazz in your ears- Listening to Jazz music can really make your body feel better. According to Top Masters In Healthcare Administration:

Jazz music has the keen ability to lower stress and blood pressure by causing blood vessels to expand by up to 30 percent. Jazz listeners are also an average of 25 percent less depressed than non-jazz listeners

4. Get in the Sauna- Getting into a sauna, will help you to detox, and also help your heart. And if you bring a little peppermint, you will even breathe better. You will feel tons better.

5. Make Your Bed- This one I found odd, but after reading a report from Apartment Therapy they say that:

“making your bed every morning is correlated with better productivity and stronger skills at sticking with a budget” and even leads to higher levels of happiness"

6. Sniff Citrus- Believe it or not, smelling something wonderful can soothe your mood. So pick up some form of citrus and watch that frown turn upside down.
