“When we want mood experiences, we go to concerts or museums. When we want meaningful emotional experience, we go to the storyteller.” ―
Your mood influences your day and is a natural element of your emotional rhythm. Unquestionably. Typically, the way you start your morning will pretty much carry you throughout the rest of the day. The same applies to the contrary. If you start your day frustrated and grumpy, you’re more likely to feel less optimistic throughout the day, and it becomes far easier to become agitated. If you set a tone of positivity, your energy will positively influence you, attract positive experiences, and serve as a buffer for negative experiences.
Your mood influences your frame of mind, how productive you are throughout the day, and influences how well you perform throughout the day and in certain situations. Understanding your moods can help you to manage them successfully and feel better faster. Try these seven tips and tell me, did you become a more happier and healthier you?

101.Get More Rest. At a minimum, healthy adults should give their bodies at least 7 to 9 hours each night. A struggle! I get it; everything comes alive in the nighttime. However, lack of an adequate amount of sleep for just one night will “increase your emotional response to negative feelings by 60%. – healthline.com”. Sleep is essential for the body to function as intended and affects everything from energy balance to intellectual functionality, alertness, and you guessed it.. your mood!
202.Breathe First, let’s give thanks for our ability to breathe. Breathing brings oxygen into the body, lungs, and life into you. A deep inhale expands the lungs, lifts the chest, and energizes you. The exhale contracts the lungs, grounds you, and helps you relax. Deep breathing raises your endorphins and communicates to the brain that it is safe to relax and alerts your nervous system to be calm. . It’s the loving hug you give yourself from the inside. Even better, take a moment to be outside amongst nature and breathe fresh air.
303.Be mindful of what you consume.
404.BreatheCelebrate others.
505.BreatheExercise more.
606.BreatheTry yoga.
707.BreatheReduce your time on social media.
““There is one way of breathing that is shameful and constricted. Then, there’s another way: a breath of love that takes you to infinity.”
