How To Completely Change Your Mood Right Now? A Lot Of Sunlight

​Slow Living to enjoy a lazy day. Live in the Present.

1. Go green. A lot of sunlight

A lot of sunlight makes me feel alive.  I live in a suburban town and enjoy to spend some hours on the sidewalk in the morning.  My kids would like climbing the tree, scrabbling up trunks fearlessly into the branches, towards the tip-top, through a tangle of green limbs that swaddled them like a living hammock. Oh! Someone walks a weird skinny dog reckoning with a kindness smile to say hi with me. The kids have so much fun watching the little bugs crawl in and out of the pebbles. Or lie in the grass to feel the blades tickle their necks.  When the sunshine hit my face with a cool breeze, I take deep breaths with full inhalation and exhalation. Tell my body and my mind that everything is ok.

2. Natural Aromas

I like gathering leaves, flowers, or seeds that mean something to my family. Or fill up the pillow with the cypress cones to produce a clean woody energizing aroma. Cypress trees are tall, reaching heights of 140 feet, with small flowers and brownish-grey cones. The smell of the cypress cones makes you feel comfortable and stimulate feelings of joy and happiness as well.  Aromatherapists believe it can calm your nerve during times of emotional stress.

3. Live in the Present

You never really look at many good things around you when you are alive. Look around. How lucky we are to be alive right now.  Taking a photo of a flower and share it on Instagram.  It’s sad to read “chasing daylight: how my forthcoming death transformed my life” (by the former CEO of KPMG) to tell the story of a person who learned to live in the present when he was going to die.

4. D.I.Y Miniature Garden

Ever feel that your eyes strain from too much screen time? Why not spend the time to make my miniature garden.  I enjoy making my D.I.Y miniature garden so much that I can hardly put it into words. What sort of story I’m going to create? How about little teddy meets the lazy cat in the fairy garden?  It was a chance to spend time on a day, without any worries and concerns, doing something interesting.  The work helps me to be calm with peaceful concentration by discarding impatience and irritation.
