Do you, like me, struggle to find ways just to Have Fun? With Mood Boosting touted as a helpful daily method of brain rewiring, I need to work on this! Hence, taking time to build my snowman-of-the-year with the gift of snow on March 22nd after a winter of drought!
Why bother to look for ways to boost your mood throughout the day?
This boosts healing neurotransmitters in your brain, such as dopamine, serotonin and endorphins, which in turn lowers the chronic stress response and promotes healing all over your body!
Don't feel up to doing any fun activity today? Try these lower energy ideas:
- Read a book that makes you smile.
- Watch a cute or funny video (only if it is clean.)
- Listen to a cosy audiobook
- Text or call a good friend.
- Brew a cup of tea or coffee and drink it while looking out a window or sitting outdoors.
- Give a hug.
- Sit outdoors and mindfully use all your senses.
What are your best mood-boosters? I can use more ideas!!

This snowman quickly tipped but "hung out"
for days... snow or shine!
Meanwhile, Maren's Littles enjoyed many more inches of snow than us and soaked up the snow-play time they had missed most of the winter. Their wool mittens must be getting wonderfully felted and warmer every time!
