22 Things That Boosts My Mood Instantly.

Sometimes life can get really stressful and hectic and all you want is to feel relax and not tired at all. I’ve always been a firm believer that if you pay close attention to the little things around you, life will definitely seem better and you will start seeing such a huge difference.

Today, I’ve rounded up a few of my 22 instant mood boosters in case you are in need for a little pick-me up.

1. Take a hot shower- The sound of water running alone helps me to calm down.  The warm water relaxes tense muscles and calms your central nervous system.
2. A cup or two or more of Green Tea- I can go on and on and on about green tea. All I know is that it leaves a smile on my face and helps me feel relaxed.
3. Make a favorite playlist- I fill it with happy songs, Songs that speak to me. I’m currently into French Songs; Indilla being my favorite  French Musician.
4. Sweat it out- I’ve come to appreciate some little exercise and try to keep it up. It helps me release my frustrations and endorphins.
5. Go for a swim- That is practically impossible with the bad weather, but whenever the sun is out, I will not hesitate to dive into the water.
6. Tick off something on my to-do list- It makes me feel like I am a little more on top of my life.
7. Go for a walk- Aside from soaking up the sun and getting that extra vitamin D, it also helps me reflect.
8. Eat some chocolate- It is said to make us happy.    By Us I mean women.
9. Get lost in a really good book- My current read is “On Black Sister’s Street”
10. Try a DIY- This helps me keep distracted as I focus my energy on creativity.
11. Organising and Cleaning out my room- I’m not a neat freak but a little organisation leaves me feeling great about myself.
12. Do something nice for somebody else. Showing kindness can help us feel better. Small actions— holding the door for the person behind you, sending a quick love text to a partner or friend, or donating to charity all count.
13. Practice breathing and meditation. Used for centuries as a relaxation technique, meditation has been shown to ward off depressive thoughts and anxiety.
14.  Detox your phone and social medias. Go through and delete anyone who sucks. There’s no greater feeling than this. Trust me on this one.
15. Visit a nice eat out joint- and just treat myself to some mouth watering dishes. A full tummy makes Puritie a happy girl.
16. Write down things that make you happy. Like a list. Lists make me happy. I should have started with this one. This is my happy to do list.
17. Learn something new. Learning can help us build confidence and a sense of self-efficacy, and fuel our creativity. You have a world of knowledge at your fingertips, don’t waste it in one corner.
18. Have a pamper day. Manicures,Pedicures, Massage, chocolate, cosy oversized sweaters & a feel good movie. Yes please. All day, everyday.
19. Make plans. Whether it be travel or dinner plans, having something to look forward to can raise spirits.
20. Surrounding yourself with people who lift your spirits- I am lucky to have such amazing friends.
21.  Smile. Even if you don’t feel like it, sometimes moving the muscles in our face activates chemicals in our brains to lift our moods.
22. Be grateful. Your happiness is only as good as your mindset.
