I like to listen to nature - waves splashing, birds chirping, wind blowing through the trees...

@amiablePeace77. Learning to stay grounded and shift my mood is a skills I’ve struggled with. I have some specific things I do to ground myself. I like to walk Mindfully, I do a grounding exercise with my senses, and I try to use my positive self talk. Some days are easier than others. 🙂

What helps you to stay grounded and shift your mood in difficult situations?

It really depends on the situation. I remind myself not to be too reactive and if possible, delay decision-making. Sometimes shrugging things off is all you can do.

@Fradiga

Delaying decision-making can turn out to be the best decision ever! Feelings can be overwhelming and make us take the wrong decision so waiting for a while to clear the head sounds helpful!

@ amiablepeace; Our bodies and minds can play tricks on us when we're not feeling our best. 🤔 

What helps you to stay grounded and shift your mood in difficult situations?

Usually by taking myself out, ie. Walking the dogs, getting some fresh air, calling into the local supermarket. Anything that gives me a chance to re-shift the mood usually helps.
