Mood Boosters

Hey guys! It's been a great day today, everything was pretty normal but I just felt happy and lively, a few things influenced my great mood, some little things that make me feel alive. I want to write about some of my favourite mood boosters that always pick me up if I'm sad or contribute to an all-around good day.

Making new friends
 I love getting to know people and making friends with people, it makes me feel so elevated and happy. This applies to any place that you make friends but over the last few weeks I have been getting to know a handful of bloggers through the Q&A series that I am currently working on (read more about it here) and talking to them has made me so happy.

Watching the sunrise
Getting up early enough to see the sunrise is definitely a mood booster (unless you didn't get enough sleep haha). Although getting up super early is something we feel is impossible, having a couple of hours to yourself before you need to go to work/school will honestly make you feel so organised! You can get work done, take as long as you want to eat breakfast and scroll through your social media sites so you don't feel like you need to catch up on anything during work/school.

Talking to friends
I already talked about how great making friends makes me feel but it's also great to talk to the friends that you already have. If you have good friends, they will elevate your mood and make you feel special, who doesn't want that? Joking around with your friends can put you in a silly mood which is always interesting! Sometimes the stress from work/school can take a toll on your happy side and being with your friends can help you to put things into perspective.

Listen to or play music
Countless studies have shown that music boosts your mood, whether you are playing it or listening to it. I had a great guitar practice today and it made me completely forget about all the work I have to do for school, I was so drowned (in the best way) by the music. Music can distract you from getting work done so maybe listen to some songs while you are getting ready for the day, the good vibes will last the whole day haha.

Hang out with animals
Animals have been used as therapy for many decades so we know how helpful they are to heal our souls. I think it's really cool how animals pick up on your mood and cuddle up to you or play with you. When you're sad, cuddles from an animal is healing and just plain adorable, they will boost your mood even if you already feel on top of the world.

I hope you have enjoyed my post on mood boosters, hopefully these will help you cheer up or help you have a great day from the start. Have a beautiful, happy, day and I will see you all very soon. Byeeeeeee!

  2. Cathrine!!! I thought I was the only one who actually enjoyed waking up early!! I have to catch my bus at 8am but I am always up at 6-6:30 so I can have a chill morning making a good break and watch netflix or read! If I accidentally sleep in I definitely feel a shift in my mood! Great post Cathrine! I agree with all of
    it!

    1. Waking up early puts me in the best mood, especially if I have work to do, I can finish it then feel super prepared for the day. Thanks Jade!

  4. I'm so glad you're having a happy day :) I agree making new friends is a brilliant mood booster , I love getting to know people <3 I've been recently getting up earlier and it's really let myself set myself up for the day and i really like that so I'm more positive in the day <3 My girlfriend has kittens and I've spent a lot of my weekend at hers playing with them and they always calm me down and cheer me up :)
