Our Moods Have Power!

  

The way the mother of the home feels has a big impact on everyone else around her. When Mommy's not happy, no one is happy. Controlling our moods is a challenge! We are only human and each of us has plenty of things to think about that can  keep us feeling down. Keeping in mind how our mood can result in a happy day with sharing and caring, or the contrary, may give us motivation to work on feeling happier.  Here are a few mood boosters that can help:

1) Staying Hydrated:

Drinking lots of water affects how we feel in a major way! Dehydration causes irritability, headaches, and an inability to make proper judgments. Having a water bottle handy at all times can be a reminder to drink throughout the day.  Drinking  before and after meals can help too!

2) More Sleep:

Even if your little ones wake you up in the middle of the night, the time you go to bed makes a big difference!  Getting to bed early  not only helps you feel happier and more energetic,  but it helps control mood swings and weight gain as well!

3) Positive Thinking: 

Surrounding yourself with people who
make you feel good and care about you makes a difference in your mood. When speaking about problems, using words like "I can" and " it's possible"  affects the way you feel in a positive way. Replacing negative thoughts with positive ones helps you  start seeing  more positive results!
