Give yourself a mood boost
There are
many little changes we can make in our lives that can give our mood a boost,
boosting your mood brightens up your day, brings a smile and makes life that
little bit easier to deal with. Just by making the smallest changes and taking
as little as 5 minutes from your day you could be surprised with the difference
it can make. It doesn’t have to be anything outlandish, just something you
wouldn’t normally consider doing. Here are some tips to help give you that
quick mood boost and can be done whenever you are feeling out of sorts with the
world or feeling a little down.
If you
have 5 minutes to spare you can:
- Take out your daily goal
planner and write something down that you already completed today and
cross it straight off the list
- Take the weight off your feet
and eat one of your 5 daily portions of fruit or veg
- Look at yourself in the
mirror and pull as many different funny faces as you can in 5 minutes
- Read the comics in the daily
paper
- Take a quick shower or at
least splash your face with water
- Use some of that expensive
perfume or deodorant you had bought and enjoy the fragrance

have 15 minutes to spare you can:

area of your home
