Boosting your mood can be easier than you think! Here are three science-backed ways to help you feel happier and more energised. Modern philosophy gives some tips..let's see that to begin with...
1. Exercise
Engaging in physical activity releases endorphins, also known as the "feel-good" hormones. Exercise can be as simple as a brisk walk, a yoga session, or even dancing around your room. Consistent exercise has been shown to reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety.
2. Mindfulness Meditation
Practicing mindfulness meditation can help you focus on the present moment, reducing stress and increasing emotional well-being. Just a few minutes a day of mindfulness practice can make a significant difference.
3. Social Connection
Spending time with friends and loved ones, or even chatting with someone you trust, can significantly improve your mood. Social interaction boosts oxytocin levels, which can lead to feelings of happiness and contentment. If you're feeling down, reaching out to someone can provide comfort and perspective.
4. Nature
Spending time in nature or even looking at pictures of natural landscapes can lower stress levels and improve your mood. If you can, take a walk in the park, enjoy some fresh air, or simply sit by a window with a view.
Hinduism offers a variety of spiritual techniques to achieve peace of mind:
Yoga
Yoga is not just a physical exercise but a spiritual practice that integrates body, mind, and spirit. Regular practice of yoga can help reduce stress and promote a sense of well-being.
यं संन्यासमिति प्राहुर्योगं तं विद्धि पाण्डव | न ह्यसंन्यस्तसङ्कल्पो योगी भवति कश्चन ||
Nobody becomes yogi without renouncing worldly desires..the very reason of sufferings in this world is impossible desires. The person would dream big..but he/ she doesn't have mind or preparedness to achieve it.
