Hi Love,
How are you today Guys, i hope you are all in a good mood. Yeah this time i am curious for 'The Mood'.
I woke up this morning, suddenly thought about many problems of mine and BAMM!!! i felt sad and less-energy. I went to my laptop and started to search for the term MOOD.
The first thing i opened was Wikipedia. You could check at : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mood_%28psychology%29 . It said that a mood is basically less specific, less intense, and less likely to be triggered by a particular stimulus or event than emotion.
Well from what i have read, correct me if i am wrong, when i am not in an emotional condition (I will resume about emotional condition later based on a book by a famous Paul Ekman), than it should be a mood that occurs in 'my feeling', whether it's a casual happiness or casual sadness (i use casual for less intense feeling) or maybe almost zero feeling (nor happy or sad feeling).
So the most of my feeling is filling with how is my mood today. People who stress out in life have a constant bad mood in days and people who have a satisfying life according to their standard should be have a good mood in most of their days.
Unlike the emotion that is mostly trigger by something that we know, a mood is smoothly sneak up for unknown exact caused. We could point that an anger is caused by something specific, meanwhile a mood is hard to addressed. Ask to our self, i don't know why i am in a good mood or a bad mood today (even when i was thinking about many problems of mine, i could countered my thought with 'i already know my problem before today and i still had a good mood' so basically i don't know what's triggered my bad mood today).
Since we could just sniffed for what causing a bad mood , may be we could also sniffed for what causing a good mood. Many sources talk about mood booster, something that could affect our mood into a good mood, a happy feeling. I my self believe in complexity of a human being. There's always cause and effect, everything is linked in. My brain, my body, my food, are link into my feeling. But i think, think simple and just enjoy everything is the basic guidance for a mood booster. I resumed from what i read and from my experienced what we can do to boost this good mood, and i try some of it this morning =)
Tricks your senses is the first step :
1. Sing it : Sing a nice song that make us remember a good day of our life, or maybe just an easy listening song with a 'happy' music tone, or maybe a song that bring out the stress by shouting out loud the lyrics. A Crazy song from Aerosmith does the trick for me.
2. Sip and eat it, don't forget to smell a scent of it : Brew a cup O Tea, Jasmine or whatever scented tea you like. I actually prefer a coffee than a tea. People said it's not good enough for a mood booster but i think just drink our favorite drink! Orange Juice also great to sip for bring out an energy. Chocolate and ice cream good for release some enzymes or whatever chemical brain that makes us calmer. Please just enjoy when you crushed that ice cream, do not think about weight gain lol. I remember had a bag of chocolate to helped me calmer when i stressed out facing my high school graduation's exams.
3. Move your body or stay still : Just take a walk around neighborhood, or dancing while looking at the mirror and put a smile face (this works out well for me). Helping Mom watering the flowers also great trick (maybe for woman lol). Take a nice warmth bath with aromatherapy and put some candles. The stay still trick : For some people, just stay sit and relax or sleeping may works. Lack of sleep hour also could cause a bad mood. So take your pillow Guys!!
4. Open the eyes : Look at something beautiful. Browse a website full of handsome guy pictures ;) , or whatever picture you like, an art work or a beautiful home & garden design . Put some colorful clothes of yours. Red and orange are giving us more energy.
5. Feel it like you meant it : Touch your bed sheet and feel it, the smoothness and warmth that help us resting at night. I am not encouraged you to become crazy lol but just feel anything usual in our eyes and make it become something special that we gratitude of it's existences.
The scientist said that our brain could trick each other. My brain could trick my brain?! yes!!! I think what people trying to do just like things above is basically trigger our senses into tricking our brain and brain will release some i don't know what chemicals that makes us happier. But if all of it still not enough or too lazy to practice ;) than just trick our brain directly by think about most happier or most beautiful things in our life. take a time for it and meant it, feel it. Direct our minds into something good in our life. Meditation is good for 'getting to know' our inner self. Do not forget to feel gratitude for our beautiful life we live, friends and family who always support us. No matter what problems we have met, we still live and somehow managed to survive and trying to bring happiness into our live. That's when we love our self.
I LOVE ME !!!
