Feeling S.A.D? Here are my 10 Top Tips to improve your mood and energy.

Welcome to ‘Units of Inspired Action’

The idea is that you do something that is 20-30 minutes in length that has a different vibe e.g listening to music or going for a walk.

I know that when we feel really heavy, we might not ‘feel’ like doing anything.

This is a guide to help shift particularly heavy emotions through ‘Units of Inspired Action’. 

By shifting our focus onto something else for short periods, it helps to create a new pattern or frequency than the ‘mood’ we are currently in. 

It’s a bit like tricking the mind and emotions, shifting them out of a state of being that has arisen from previous thinking and emotions.

And also sometimes, these lower moods can be emotional healing that is going on without a particular ’cause’.

So the idea is not to judge anything that is appearing.  But instead, to gently lift ourselves out of the heaviness we might be feeling.

It’s a simple guide, try it out and see what works for you.

And sending you hugs and a wee push to at least try what’s being suggested here.

6. Listen to music or play an instrument. This is a sure-fast way to change the vibe.

7. Watch a comedy movie that makes you laugh.  (Units of Inspired Action was inspired by the comedy film, ‘About A Boy’ where Hugh Grant was a rich playboy
and everything he enjoyed took around 30 minutes!)

8. Prepare ‘Tune Into Bliss’ for an empowering and inspiring book about tapping into more love and joy in your life!

10. Be there for someone else or reach out to a friend.  Being of service to others helps us to get out of our own thinking bubble. 

Taking action to help others can be fulfilling and lets us see that other people also have challenges.  Consider volunteering in your community if low mood is a regular experience.

Remember, all humans experience similar emotions throughout their lives. You are not alone.
