Stress and bad mood have a negative impact on health and appearance.

Therefore, it is worth making a little effort to improve your condition. It is enough to perform just a few simple manipulations.

How to cheer yourself up

To begin with, you should smile. Such simple facial activity activates the brain center responsible for pleasure. Even a "forced" smile will have a positive effect on the state.

It is advisable to find a reason for joy. It can be small and insignificant.

In addition, music has a positive effect on mood. It can be either cheerful and upbeat music or a melancholic favorite composition.

Simple rituals that bring pleasure will not be superfluous. For example, you can call and talk to a friend or relative, brew aromatic tea or coffee, leaf through a photo album with your favorite photos. You can also watch videos that inspire and amuse.

Experts recommend making a gratitude list when you are in a bad mood. You need to list what you are grateful for - life, people, yourself.

It is better to write down negative and unspoken emotions on a piece of paper or in a personal diary in order to relieve emotional stress.

As a preventative measure, you should take more walks in the fresh air, play sports, and devote time to hobbies.
