Or maybe you\u2019re anxious and feel like your thoughts are a buzzing hive of hornets; or you\u2019ve got the blues for no known reason; or you\u2019re just feeling irritable and snapping at your loved ones.<\/p>\nIn short, you\u2019re not feeling joyful, full of energy, and \u201chigh on life.\u201d<\/p>\n
These moods both reflect and affect our subtle energies, and our subtle energies affect our physical, emotional, and mental wellness.<\/p>\n
You can do a lot to \u201cuntie those energetic knots,\u201d lift yourself out of the dumps, overcome anxiety, calm your emotions, and generally feel better energetically, emotionally and mentally.<\/p>\n
Here are five easy techniques for shifting the energy of a bad mood.<\/p>\n
1. Take some slow, deep breaths, all the way into the lower third of your lungs.<\/strong> You\u2019ll know you\u2019re breathing right if your belly rises as you inhale and falls as you exhale.<\/p>\nThis kind of breathing is one of the fastest and most effective ways to shift your energy and clear unpleasant feelings out of your physical body and energy field. It\u2019s especially good for calming anxiety and fear.<\/p>\n
2. Try smiling\u2014even if you don\u2019t feel like it.<\/strong> Especially if you don\u2019t feel like it! Plaster a big, fake smile on your face and keep it there for a while. It will feel weird and unnatural at first; but after a while, you\u2019ll probably find that you actually feel better, and the smile will begin to be genuine as your mind, emotions and energy follow the lead of your body. This is especially good for lifting a blue mood.<\/p>\n3. Think about the things that you are grateful for.<\/strong> Keep thinking about the things you\u2019re grateful for until your mood (and hence your energy) shifts. This is extremely powerful for redirecting your consciousness, expanding your energy, building your light body, and strengthening your connection to the rest of Being.<\/p>\n4. Do something nice for someone else.<\/strong> If you feel like you can\u2019t make yourself happy, do something to make someone else happy. This helps to \u201cunstick\u201d dense, in-turned energy and get it flowing again.<\/p>\n5. Be compassionate toward yourself.<\/strong> Forgive yourself. Love yourself as you are now. This helps to open you to the flow of universal energy, which is supportive, nurturing, and very stabilizing.<\/p>\nRemember. Every moment of your life, every thing that happens to you, you can choose how to react. You can choose to let something bad that happens sink you, or you can choose to use it to evolve.<\/p>\n
Every time you choose not to let something hard sink you, every time you choose to energetically rise above it\u2014you evolve automatically. Your energy field radiates a little brighter and vibrates at a little higher frequency.<\/p>\n
