Give this activity a go.
How to lift your Mood
Turn Inwards – Figure out what exactly you feel. Are you tired? Sad? Irritated? Once you’ve gotten to the root of it, sit with it. Let yourself feel it without trying to conquer it .
Explore the feeling- Now that you know how you feel, try to explore why you feel it? Approach it with an attitude of openness and curiosity. Journaling is a good way to put your thoughts together.
Thinking about the Good- Feeling low can bring you so much clarity. Once you acknowledge and explore why you are feeling this way, you can identify what you want more or less of in your life.
Do things you love- Doing an activity that lifts your spirits reminds you of all the positive in your life. when you choose to focus on things that bring you joy, the easier it gets to move on.
Exercise and Regular Activity
One of the things we’ve noticed in class is that students have no TIME. Routine and appropriate sleeping patterns can help this but regular activity will enhance it. I have a 5 minute workout here for you to do each day. Now who doesn’t have 5 minutes. Give it a go.
