Have you ever had one of those days where everything just feels… blah? Like your mood is stuck on low, and nothing seems to shake it off? Trust me—I’ve been there.

The good news? You don’t have to wait for something amazing to happen to feel better. Sometimes, all it takes are a few simple habits to boost your mood and help you reconnect to your natural state of bliss.

Here are five of my go-to bliss boosters that you can try right now:

1. Dance Breaks: Move Your Mood

It sounds simple, but moving your body—especially to your favorite upbeat song—can completely shift your energy. Put on a song that makes you want to move, and just go for it. Dance in your living room, your kitchen, or even in your car (safely, of course!).

Dancing shakes off stress, wakes up your body, and floods your brain with feel-good endorphins. Plus, it’s just plain fun. Don’t worry about looking silly—just focus on how it feels.

Bliss Tip: Create a “Dance Break” playlist with songs that make you feel unstoppable.

2. Nature Walks: Let the Outdoors Work Their Magic

Whenever I’m feeling heavy or stuck, I know it’s time to get outside. There’s something about fresh air, the sound of leaves rustling, and sunlight on your skin that just resets your spirit.

Take a walk in your neighborhood, at a local park, or even just around your yard. Notice the colors, the smells, the textures. Walking in nature is like a moving meditation—it helps you breathe deeper, think clearer, and feel lighter.

Bliss Tip: Make it a habit to take a 10-minute nature walk whenever you’re feeling overwhelmed.

3. Affirmations: Speak Love Into Your Day

Words are powerful. If your mood is dipping, try speaking out loud a few positive affirmations that remind you of your worth and resilience. It might feel a little cheesy at first, but trust me—it works.

Here are a few of my favorites:

• “I am enough just as I am.”

• “I choose love over fear.”

• “Today, I welcome joy into my life.”

Speak these words with intention and notice how your body responds. The more you practice, the more natural it will feel.

Bliss Tip: Write your affirmations on sticky notes and put them where you’ll see them—like your mirror, fridge, or car dashboard.

4. Deep Breathing: Calm Your Mind in Seconds

Sometimes, all it takes to shift your mood is a deep, intentional breath. When you’re stressed, your breathing becomes shallow and rapid. By slowing it down, you send a signal to your brain that it’s okay to relax.

Try this simple technique:

• Inhale slowly through your nose for a count of 4.

• Hold your breath for a count of 4.

• Exhale slowly through your mouth for a count of 4.

• Repeat 3 to 5 times.

You’ll feel your shoulders drop, your mind clear, and your mood lighten.

Bliss Tip: Practice this before bed or any time you need a quick reset.

5. Creative Outlets: Let Your Imagination Play

When was the last time you did something just for the joy of it? Whether it’s doodling, writing a poem, baking a cake, or playing an instrument—creativity feeds your soul. Don’t worry about being good at it—just let yourself play.

Give yourself permission to be messy and imperfect. The point is to enjoy the process, not to create something “worthy” of sharing.

Bliss Tip: Set a timer for 15 minutes and just make something—anything. Let it be silly, colorful, or completely random.
