I am having an off day, but I don’t mind. I feel comfort in my bad mood and I really don’t want it to change. I am allowing myself to feel disappointed today because I was disappointed. And it is too much work to cover up my mood. I owe it to myself to be able to experience these feelings like any other feelings. So for the next time I am in a bad mood and actually want to “snap” out of it. Not today, but next time, what do you do help your mood?

This is actually a beautiful twist on having a bad day or being in a bad mood. But in all honesty I either meditate, listen to music, and/or eat; mostly the eating part lol.
Hi, thanks for the tips. Unfortunately, I eat sugary things, but I didn’t yesterday I just rode the wave. I actually read that it’s proven that we become more creative in our bad moods because we are more focused on details. I will add the links to the post. Thanks for reading and commenting.
I read, write stuff, doodle, walk or listen to music and ride the waves of the mood till I feel better. There are days like this.
Walking is perfect, nature and knowing I am getting in shape always makes me feel better.
I just do anything that I find enjoyable it always trump bad feelings…..
When I am in a bad mood, I take a nap. It always makes me feel better.
When I’m in a bad mood, usually going for a run makes me feel better.
This is really interesting! I feel like we’re always trying to snap out of it, when sometimes we just need to be mad. Or cry. Or whatever. I love running to get me out of a bad mood!

Ha, I totally get this. Sometimes you just have to sit in it for a while, just let it wash over you and feel it so you can move on later. For your future wanting-to-snap-out-of-it-self: Smell your favorite scent (perfume, candle, room spray, laundry soap, whatever) and put on your favorite song. Turn it up – LOUD – and sing along. 🙂
Ahhh, my favorite fragrance! I’ll take it a step further, I might buy my favorite scent (in a trial size that is) lol. Thanks for reading and keep dancing!
