Spring is coming

Isn't it amazing the lift in spirits now the snow has gone (well our puppy managed to find approx 2 foot square of it this morning and rolled all over it). It is proven that as the seasons change so do our moods and attitudes. What you might not be so aware of is how much you can also influence those moods and attitudes and not just leave it to chance.

You can change them or even set them in for the day with a good piece of music, put on something uplifting and sing along to it at the top of your voice, its amazing how good they will make you feel even if you know you cannot sing well. If you want to improve it further dance along at the same time. I feel sorry for the neighbours in our close, they often must hear music blasting out of our house and Carol and I singing along so out of tune but having fun. Then if they do look in they will see us dancing in various states of undress as we get ready for work.

Another way is exercise and that doesn't have to be a 10 mile run. Do some stretching, go for a nice walk, try yoga anything that takes your mind away from your down thoughts.

Did you know you can even change your mood and attitude with your thoughts. I was stuck in traffic on the M1 the other day and starting to get agitated, I suddenly thought how would I feel if I was on my way to collect a lottery winning cheque, wow by the time by imagination had finished running wild with how i was going to spend it I felt wonderful.

Don't live in misery, do something to change your state and enjoy your day and your life.
