WAYS TO TURN A BAD DAY TO A GOOD ONE

Simple yet effective ways to uplift your mood 

It is advised not to let one unpleasant moment to ruin your entire day. "Let it go" is what we hear or we read in self-improvement books. But sometimes, it is not a cakewalk to forget everything and just move on. We can know the pain only after stepping into the shoes of the person. But, to be blue all the time is neither a solution. We need to work out some ways to release out the stress and turn our bad day to a better or maybe a best one. 

Here are some very simple ways which I am sure will cheer you up in minutes.

(1) Laugh it out



This might seem silly but, trust me it really works. Just sitting in a corner and weeping about the problem obviously won't help. So, whenever you are feeling sulky, just wipe your tears and start laughing.  I know you will not feel like laughing when your are despondent, but still do it! It will surely change your mood and will make you feel light. Scientifically also, it has been proved that laughter decreases stress hormones. So, laugh your heart out.

(2) Talk about it
      
Instead of thinking too much about your bad moment and having a frustrated mind, it is better you grab hold of someone you love and blurt out everything. Get it off your chest and I bet you will feel better. Share what is bothering you than keeping the problem in your own mind and expecting others to help you. 

(3) Meditate


This is the most useful way to calm you and perk you up. Go to a noiseless place and shut your eyes. But, it definitely won't help if you will end up thinking about your bad day. While you are sitting alone with your eyes closed, you have to think positive. Remember god and think about your happy time. You just need around twenty minutes for this exercise. The feeling after doing this would be serene. You will find a different 'YOU'.

(4) Step out

Confining yourself to the four walls of your house and be isolated is very dangerous when you are shattered as you keep thinking negative and it releases more stress hormones. Your mind desperately needs a distraction. For that, nothing is better than stepping out of your house. Call your friends and have a chat over a cup of coffee. Go out for a walk or just go to watch movies. Do anything which will divert your mind. 



We all have ups and downs and it is natural to feel low when some things don't work out as we want them to. But. it is frivolous to cleave to such things all the time. It depends on us how we handle the vicissitudes of life. I hope the above steps would help you not to spoil your day and to start off fresh, leaving behind the unpleasant memories.

RISKS- By Janet Rand

To laugh is to risk appearing the fool. To weep is to risk appearing sentimental. To reach out for another is to risk involvement. To expose feelings is to risk exposing your true self. To place your ideas, your dreams, before a crowd is to risk their loss. To love is to risk not being loved in return. To live is to risk dying. To hope is to risk despair. To try is to risk failure. But risks must be taken, because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.                                                                     The person who risks nothing, does nothing,  has                                                              ...

"I AM FINE THE WAY I AM"

I was in a clinic and was waiting for my turn to consult the doctor. Since it was taking too long, I just got into a conversation with the receptionist. She told me one incident that surprised me and I was miffed too. The receptionist had a friend who was slightly healthy. She did not look that awkward, but her close friends teased her and advised her to shed some weight off. Now, that girl took it so seriously that she went on dieting for weeks and ultimately was admitted to a hospital where she died! Just imagine the extent to which people go just to get a letter of approval with the signatures of this society! We all have a bad habit that we want to be loved by all. We don't want our haters to exist and this is the main reason why we don't accept our imperfections. In this struggle of becoming a perfect person, we end up becoming a messy person. If you want the world to love you, there is no need to pretend and be fake. It just requires a simple action: you need to l...

DISCOVER YOURSELF

The stage was set. All lights were dimmed. Holding their breaths, were the ecstatic students and staff, jam packing the auditorium. All eyes were fixed on the stage. And then, I entered, the spotlight was on me. I was completely on tenterhooks. My blood was running cold as it was the first time I was breaking out of my shell and shedding a part of my so called "studious" image. Above all, I was the protagonist of the play. Pulling myself together, I delivered my monologue and the crowd went crazy, absolutely smitten by my acting. I also ended up receiving "Best Actress" award. At that moment , I was introduced to a new side of mine. I always thought that acting was a hard nut to crack for me but I DISCOVERED MYSELF that day. Same goes with my writing interest. Books are something that intrigue me a lot. But,writing was surely not my cup of tea, I used to think earlier. One day, I just happen to write something which was admired by all and so, I created this blog...

A MASK TO MASK THE REAL YOU!

The sun climbed over the skyline. The rays streaming through the window, fell gently on Amit's face, disturbing him from deep sleep. After much wallowing in bed, he finally got up, already exhausted from the thought of going to a business party.  But, his despair melted down as he saw a huge shelf thrusted with books. His eyes gleamed and a wide smile, symbolising his love for books, flashed on his face, pushing away the sorrow. An hour later, Amit was all decked up, dressed up to the nines, sporting an immaculate black tuxedo, that he had apparently bought from his hard-earned money just to impress everyone. He looked in the mirror. Everything was perfect but, one thing was missing- the mask!  As soon as he put it on, he turned into the Amit of the people. The introvert and 'not a party lover' turned into a gregarious and a party person. The 'book lover' turned into the one who would say, "Books? How boring!". So, there Amit was at the pa...
