Feeling Good Tip of the Day ~ Need to Beat the Blues?

Ray Calabrese,

Here are five ways to beat the blues:

    1. Recognize that feeling blue or down from time to time is a common experience.
    2. Get moving: Exercise is a natural mood booster. Physical activity releases endorphins, which are natural feel-good chemicals that help improve your mood. Even a quick walk around the block can help lift your spirits.
    3. Connect with others: Spending time with friends or family members can help you feel connected and supported. Even a quick phone call or text message to someone you care about can help boost your mood.
    4. Practice self-care: Take time to do things you enjoy, such as reading a book, taking a bath, or listening to music. Taking care of yourself can help you feel better both physically and mentally.
    5. Challenge negative thoughts: Negative thoughts can contribute to feeling down. Try to challenge negative thoughts and replace them with positive ones. For example, instead of thinking “I can’t do anything right,” try thinking “I am capable of learning and growing.”

If you are experiencing ongoing feelings of sadness, hopelessness, or anxiety, it may be helpful to seek professional help. A mental health professional can provide support and guidance on how to manage your emotions and improve your mood.
