Hello sunshine!
Demands, demands and more demands. Sometimes the world seems dark and there is nothing we can do to change the way we feel. Or is there?
Today I am going to share with you 5 ways to boost your mood. They are simple and free! Get to know them now:
1. Sing a happy song
It is something so simple, but it can make a big difference! Try to sing a happy song every day. Sing in the shower, when you are cooking, if you are doing something you don´t like or in case you are sad. The most important is this: remember to sing!
2. Experience orgasm
You read it correctly. We need to experience orgasm, but this is often times neglected because it doesn´t fit into the schedule. When you orgasm your oxytocin levels, a.k.a. feel good hormone, rise up (yeah!) and your body removes excess cortisol, commonly called stress hormone. What are you waiting for?
3. Help someone
Remember the image of the old lady trying to cross the street? Your day might not be going as you expected, but you were in the right place at the right time for someone and your heart just smiles!
4. Exercise
When we exercise our brain increases production of serotonin and norepinephrine, two neurotransmitters linked to depression and stress, so make it part of your daily routine! Oh, and don´t worry if you don´t like gyms. You can walk or exercise at home like I do, as I explain in my book Back to Natural.
5. Enjoy the sun
It is such a wonderful feeling to wake up on a sunny day! Sunlight is associated with the release of serotonin in our brain which is responsible not only for boosting our mood, but also keeping us calm. Try to get between 5 to 15 minutes of sun exposure per day, preferably before 10 a.m. and after 4 p.m. and see how you feel!
Happy living,
Natacha
