E: 7 Ways to EXCHANGE Grumpy for Happy

My 1st favourite way to shake the “grumps” is to get into the water. A shower, hot tub, bath, pool, or ocean are all effective mood busters. . . . . My 2nd favourite way is to write a gratitude list.

When someone is grumpy it lowers the mood in the room. I don’t like being around grumpy people  . . . . . even when that grumpy person is me.

Do you ever have times of being grumpy? What do you do to shake them? I asked my family for some suggestions. This is what they came up with . . .

1. Do something relaxing like go read a book. This helps me to get away from my life into another life.
2. Go outside and exercise.
3. Attitude adjustment. I do this by changing my thoughts: like reading the Bible or focus on something else
4. I usually need to be alone in order to change my mood.
5. It helps when someone tells me I’m being grumpy because I don’t know it.
6. Take a nap. I often wake up with a new perspective.
7. Eat a good piece of chocolate or a pint of sorbet. (Or eat a piece of chocolate pie.)
