What calming exercises have you successfully used in the past to maintain a level mood?
First and foremost I have made it a habit to regard my emotions as a source of information but I do not allow them to dictate my mood. I spend most of my days in a level mood. I examine the information being provided by my emotions and I do what I can to process it all. Of course, there are times when my emotions get the better of me but I like to think it is rare.
I find meditation is also helpful. Simply concentrating on one breath at a time is easy and helpful. And of course, I make art. Art always helps! No mindblowing advice here but it works for me!
I like thrift store shopping. Last week I found a paper marbling kit, brand new. I got it out yesterday for an art play day with my DIL and niece. We had so much fun together. I tried it on fabric and it worked well. Can't wait to figure out where to use it!
I am thankful to be a pretty level person, too. Art definitely helps with channeling emotions, too. Gives you something besides your own needs to focus on!
ReplyDeleteI'm usually an upbeat person however, like everyone, I have my moments. Thankfully few & far between. Nice treasure at the thrift store. That sounds like a fun, new toy.
