Remedies 4 ROTTEN DAYS!
22 fun ideas to give urself a mood makeover and kick out the blues -
1. Belt it out - SING! even if its worse than the gud 'ol donkeys bray. Sing, even if its a short silly song, sing in ur car, in the shower, with the friends, on top of the building :-D (umm provided there's noone to push u off)
2. Take a DAY OFF - When things are going wrong, go right. change the direction, take a day off, all by yourselves, read, have a ot of tea, lie arnd in ur pajamas, take long afternoon nap, go out for a wlak in the evening to the childrens park, swing on the swings and just et your hair down.
3. Photo Up - dig out an old album or good 'ol school times, or first birthdays etc your first bike, ur first crush on the funky art teacher and u shall soon be smiling - oh not to forget the school farewell where u wore a saree for the first time
4. TRASH IT - write out all the things going wrong with u right now on seperate pieces of paper. Read up one by one and tear and throw em in the basket, SHOW EM who;s the boss. Vent out ur vengence on them :-D
5. Over tip someone - Doing something simply and niec to someone makes u smile. Buy the gajras sold @ the red lights from the little girl and pay her an extra buck, buy some baloons which are not worth the tenner but with a smile....
6. Face it up - Gandhiji's advice - whenever u feel like u having the worst possible phase in life, just remember the face of a really really suffering poor, helpless person. It shall show u how much better offu are, and so much more that you can do.
7. More Orangy! - Although all colours do good, but orange pepps up the moods the most. so get those orange t's or pencils or posters up arnd u.
8. Natural Therepy - umm nope not talking abt those zillion thousand massages... but a simple barefoot walk on the dewy grass, or a simple 15 mins of watering ur plants :-) Mamma Nature loves u
9. Paint it up - PLAY with paints , do a qucik finger painting, crayon stuff, use ur thumb, feet, fingers nething, paint a wall, t-shirt or even ur own face! :-D Paper ofcourse is another thing u can always use
10. Be your own Friend - Split urselves into two friends. Hehehe, wut wud u do for ur bestest friend or a sweet lill girl who's sad as she dropped her top scoop of ice cream or cut her babrbies hair which now dont grow back... Do that for yourself...talk and pamper urself as u wud to her.
11. SHOP - mwahahahaha the KILLER ALL TIME FAV. thing to pep neones mood - be it a man or woman - GO SHOP - get urself a fab bargain on that shirt or kurta u always wanted, or at that kabari walla who wud give u the precious books for peanuts, or the saloon which is running a scheme of a free head massage with a hair cut :-D
12. Be the SKY - Sit quietly for a few minutes and imagine yourself as the wide blue sky - with ur feeling of worry, frustration, anger, or fear as distinct clouds moving across the horizon. IN doing so, you shall be reminded that self is far bigger than these feeelings and moods, which are temporary and passing through rather than taking you over.
13. CHOCOLATES - chocs contain mood uplifting chemicals - it increases endorphins and serotonin in blood, promoting a sense of well being. So go give urself a choco break!
14. Dance Away - remember the dancing baby from Ally Mc Beal? put on ur fav music, crazy music and just swing with it. Dance with urself, closeu r eyes and just move... swing with urself, go crazy, jump, scream whateva u wanna do just dance wit hit
15. Smell the happiness - i always keep a whole stock of Incense Sticks, Deo's, Perfumes and soaps. People say u shud use only one kinda fragrance which u identify urself with... Me says, smell like ur mood, rather smell like u wanna smell. Sporty, Fun, Relaxed, Sexy. Incense sticks, Aroma Oils, even perfumes sprayed into a bucket of water for ur bath, simply relax ur senses. Sooth ur senses and u rocking to work again ;-D
16. Pay a Compliment - take a minute off and get ur nose out of the files, pay a simple compliment to ur secretary, ur team mate and say how cool its to work with em. If frnds hug em (Rashmi n I do it all the time ...hehehe though ppl think we crazy) and smiles wud light up on their faces and electric recharge of energy both in u and them...caryy on then
17. Get ur hands DIRTY - Take a pottery class and muck around like a kiddo. Ok... no pottery, use Playing dough, Clay or what the hell even ur plain ol chappti DOGH, make something cray lill, like a stupi mask, or a pendant and flash it around.
18. Walk Walk Walk - Walk like crazy, mayb even all the way from ur office to home. BESTESTEST way to ward off ur anger aggression and "GRrrrrrrrr wanna kill him" :-D Another good option is playing basketball all alone for hours - but tht is subject to neighbours not killing u for dribbling liek mad in ur courtyard
19. Bring the OCEAN inside - i LOVEeeeeeee the OCEAN, the WATER! stimulate the effect of walking on a beach for hours, or watching a sea splash across, by al uxurious bath, or a great poster or a video u downloaded on kazaa. else put a table spoon of salt in ur bath tub or a bucket, put on a cd/cassete of running water sounds , light a sea breeze candle or smthing, and sit with ur eyes clsoe imaginign the sea... TRUST me the effect is like AWESOMELY COOL
20. Watch the water - well if u in Mumbai or places near water, ur life is heaven! A calm pond, a swift river or the mighty ocean, GAZE at it for hours with some pop corn, or music, or nthing. Even the rains are so beautiful go to the roof top, watch the hail falling, or simply go 2 ur bathroom, take a shower and watch the water flow all across u.
21. Moments of GRATITUDE - no matter how bad u feel things are god shall always give u a handful of things u could be happy about. Take a deep breath and DIRECT DIL se thank God for those.
22. SPUNK IT UP - Finally , dress the way u feel. U wanna kick some butt then pull out tht funky punky torn pair of jeans and top it with a real rad, strong and screamy T-shirt! NO TARSH in my life. So he thinks pink is outrageous, SO WHAT! wear a tangy pink T with ur fav blue jeans, colour it all up! Un Knot all the ties, rufle tht hair up! go mad!
Basically...whenever u feel u being pulled and tagged in ten differnt directions...GET UP and
