Bad mood: eliminate with the help of discoveries of neurophysiologists

Absolutely happy all the time there are only people, unhealthy mentally. And then such a diagnosis - a rarity. All healthy people from time to time attends a bad mood. What to do in this situation? Some tricks allow you to change the mood for the better.

The best way to improve your mood is to get an orgasm. So good sex is to help those who are sad. Neuroscientists say that when you get sexual pleasure, the limbic system that is responsible for the mood is momentarily turned off and then switched on again. This "reset" allows the brain to change your mood at the level of the simplest physiology.

After alleviating the general condition, you can look for causes that have caused a bad mood. Most often, it's not even about external problems, but in our attitude towards them. A bad mood is provoked by bad thoughts. It is necessary to realize that thoughts are a reality, and not something ephemeral, they have their own physiological nature and are a program in our computer. But even people far from programming know that a computer without a good program is just iron.

To begin with, just observe and record what thoughts make your mood deteriorate. You will notice harbingers of a bad mood - the heart will begin to beat more often, the muscles will stiffen, and the palms become sweaty. So the body, the body, reacts to any negative thought. Conversely, positive thoughts reduce blood pressure, reduce heart rate, and breathing becomes steady and even. Tests on a polygraph prove that thoughts and the state of the body, which determines the mood, are closely related.

What if the bad mood is associated with bad thoughts? It is necessary to learn a kind of ecology of thinking. Your negative thoughts should be considered as "polluters of the thinking environment", and for purity it is worth fighting. Everyone who has tried to meditate knows that it is very difficult to control one's thinking, thoughts come themselves. Yes, it's like the truth. But you need to know that "spontaneous thoughts" do not always tell you the truth. And spoil the mood and well-being. So any thought that comes to mind should be considered critically.

Hence the conclusion - to overcome a bad mood with bad thoughts you do not have to agree. And it is better to write them down and reason with them. What thoughts usually spoil the mood? First, these are statements that begin with the words "always" and "never". The brain that wants to generalize, you can calm down, fixing the cases when the thought was wrong. For example, a husband or wife does not yell at you every time he turns to you. And some areas of the brain tend to spoil your mood with statements that begin with "always."

If you have not read the book "Polihanna" by Eleanor Porter, be sure to read. The book contains a story about a girl who in difficult conditions of life could look at the world from a positive point of view, concentrating on the good instead of the bad. And her bright attitude to life, she infected people around. Pink glasses are better than a gloomy view of the world. And the Orthodox fathers of the Church call for finding occasions for joy in any situation.

Also, a bad mood more often visits those who have a habit of several variants of the situation to choose the worst. And your behavior in this case, you provoke negative events. If, when driving up to the house, you "anticipate" finding out the relationship, then the probability of a scandal grows at times.

In order to defeat the gloomy disposition of the spirit, you can apply in practice another discovery of neurophysiologists - a bad mood is observed with activity of the right hemisphere. And this means that in a bad mood it is necessary to solve mathematical problems and write logical texts (for example, for a blog), and not listen to music, write poetry or draw.

So prepare a good collection of tasks or open a page of your blog - and you will feel better, because the left hemisphere will turn into work , which makes people benign optimists.
