3 Ways to Feel Better About Yourself Right Away

Do you walk around in a funk sometimes? Do you want to come  out of it more than you want to stay in it? Well, if that's true,        here's how:

Know that it is termporary. Moods aren't lasting, they come and go. To change your mood it takes awareness and feeling discontent with the way things are. Once you become aware, you  can "act" your way out of it. Want to be more cheerful, put a  smile on your face. Laugh, even if there isn't anything funny. Just  the physical act of laughing can make you feel better. (No...you  don't have to do this in front of people!)

 Count your blessings. Yes, practicing gratitude goes a long way. Take inventory. Just thinking about what you actually have can lift your mood. After you find a few things, push yourself to find more. You'll find you have a lot.

Channel a famous person who has a positive attitude. Who do you respect? What would this person do in your situation? What would they be "telling" themself? Try their attitudes on for size for a quick pick me up.

There you have it!  Ways to get out of your funk...The choice is yours--to lift your mood or stay in your slump.
