4 ways I boost my mood when I’m sad.

1. I find my husband and hug him. He’s my safe space.

🩷 sometimes we just need a little extra love from someone close to help our dopamine levels!

2. Take a long hot bath, with snacks!

🩷a hot bath always relaxes me, I put a show on my phone or read my witches guide to self care book. I always feel better once I get out of the bath.

3. Do my skincare- & rot in bed.

🩷skincare has always been an outlet for me. It makes me feel better when I look better, so I take time to pamper myself- then I crawl into bed and doom scroll- which makes my heart happy. lol

4. Spend time with my babies.

🩷Even though they’re older and don’t want to spend a lot of time with mom anymore- I still go bother them when I’m sad because it helps make me feel better.

Also, shopping is a big dopamine hit for me- but I’m working on changing that because it gets expensive! lol.

What are some ways you boost your mood?

Feeling sad can be an overwhelming experience, but there are various effective techniques you can adopt to help boost your mood. One common method is engaging in physical touch, such as hugging loved ones, which releases oxytocin, promoting feelings of warmth and safety. Creating a self-care ritual, like taking a long bath, can be incredibly soothing; combine this with your favorite snack and entertainment for a truly relaxing experience. Moreover, dedicating time to skincare routines can not only benefit your skin but also enhance your mood by increasing self-esteem. When you feel good about your appearance, it can significantly contribute to your mental health. Don't forget the power of spending quality time with family or pets—it can provide comfort and distraction during tough times. Lastly, while shopping can provide a temporary lift by triggering dopamine, it's essential to balance it. Look for budget-friendly activities that bring joy, such as engaging in hobbies or spending time in nature. Remember, it's important to find out what works best for you and to prioritize activities that support your mental well-being.

Text discusses calorie burn differences between cardio and weight training, noting that cardio burns more calories per session, while weight training boosts metabolism and offers a significant post-workout calorie burn for up to 38 hours.

Text explains that HIIT burns 25-30% more calories than other exercises and that combining cardio with weights is most effective for weight, fat loss, and muscle gain, as weight training alone is not as effective.
