Do you sometimes find yourself in a bad mood?  It is something we people just go through

But, because a bad mood can really block us from feeling good, from being successful and enjoying our life, it’s valuable to have some tricks to get out of feeling bad.

Here are six of my favorite ways to start feeling better fast.

1. Smile.
Smiling interrupts bad mood neural pathways. And strengthens the brain’s ability to keep a positive outlook.

When you are alone, put a little Mona Lisa smile on and you’ll feel better.  When you smile at others, you’ve just spread the contagion of smiling and feeling happy.

2. Yawn.
To yawn is wonderful for the reason that so many beneficial things happen.  it lowers your stress level, causes physical relaxation and increases sensuality and pleasure. 

If you just open your mouth and pretend to yawn, soon you’ll be yawning for real.  Yawn right now!

#3 YES!
It can really help you get into a positive state to simply say yes. 

I suggest you count on your fingers, thing of ten questions you can ask yourself with an answer of “yes”.  Start out easy, such as do I have two eyes?  “Yes.”

As you continue asking, get more and more enthusiastic, thinking of questions that bring on even more energy and joy.

4. Appreciate.
Start by taking a look around decide on a single thing you feel appreciation for. Come up with one reason you feel appreciation for it.  Then think of another reason.  Keep going with more and more reasons.

Now find another thing to appreciate.  This activity can be done virtuallyanywhere and at any time.

#5 Tapping
The energy system of your body has a way of getting stuck both in patterns of thought and in patterns of emotion.

Tapping on some particular stress points, some of the ones acupuncturists use, can release the stuck negative state and turn a bad mood into a good one.

The simple process is referred to as EFT tapping.  You can learn tapping therapy in about ten minutes with the free EFT manual and watching the short YouTube EFT video on this page can help too.

#6 If I did feel happy…
If you’re in a pretty bad mood to start with, it’s hard to just begin thinking happy thoughts.  This little brain trick can help you.

You can either do this internally, out loud or by writing.  You say, “If I did feel happy, I could possibly feel happy about”  then finish with something you would feel good about.

Continue starting that sentence, finishing the thought with something that you would feel happy about. 

In no time at all, you WILL be in a good mood.

I wish you more and more good moods.

EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) is an easy method that you can learn to do just that. The technique is based on the idea that tapping on points along acupuncture energy meridians can help reset your emotional energy. EFT tapping is simple to do and can alter your negative emotional state quickly.

Say for example, that there was a time in your childhood that you were scolded for doing something you did not know was wrong.

The event may have caused you to feel ashamed, scared or uncertain of yourself. It may have created doubts that you still carry to this day and these feelings may be holding you back from being as confident and successful as you’d like.

If you use EFT tapping therapy while thinking about the past event, the emotions surrounding it can be changed.

Almost instantly, you can change your uncertainty into confidence. You can also change any beliefs that were formed during this event by concentrating on them as well.

Maybe it made you begin to think that you were a bad person or that there was something wrong with you. The realization that these thoughts are only beliefs, not truths, can be grasped while tapping.

This realization can be the first step to transforming the way you feel about yourself!

It’s easy to learn EFT tapping.  In just over one minute you can learn the EFT tapping points in this YouTube EFT video. 

EFT Tappping puts your life in your hands.  It’s a free form of self-help. By taking the time to learn and use this technique, you’ll quickly be on your way to a more confident you!
