I am finding several times a day I am needing to make some attitude adjustments. Some of my tried and true options are not working for me any longer, so I went in search of some new ideas, tips and tricks to elevate my mood and attention span. I thought it might be helpful to share some of them here so others might try them as well.
~ Use scents. I thought it was a little odd to believe that a scented but unflavored lip balm could make a difference in my mood and attitude. Still the price of the scented lib balm was under $2.00 so it seemed worth a try. My mood improved as the day went on, was it the lip balm, who knows. At least my mood improved.
~ Change your location. No you don’t have to move your home, maybe just switch chairs or step outside for a few moments. Move to disrupt the current attitude.
~ Throw a fit. I prefer, if this is the choice I make to go toss my fit in a parked car. I won’t hurt anyone. I can yell and scream if need be.
~ Take a nap. Perhaps you are simply tired and grumpy.
~ Listen to some calming music.

I am forever in the attitude of gratitude and that helps when things go awry. I look around and see so many great things that are a part of my life What more can I ask for.
I have been trying to the past several months to meditate. I find when I reach the relaxed state I am able to move away from what is frustrating me.
The other thing I find that really helps me is a hug!
I think those are all great tips/ideas. I like to use the music one myself.
For me, the nap always works although sometimes I close my eyes just to think of things.
I ordered my groceries today and to lift my mood I went back to childhood, I ordered a silly little liquid Kool-Aid concentrate and now with one squeeze, I can make some 8 0z cups of grape Kool-Aid that thing is the taste takes me back to when I was little and so it makes me smile.
Again, taking lots of deep breaths help.
Reading novels, listening to soothing songs or staring at the sky, nature does help in uplifting my mood.
