Months of cold weather, long workdays and barely any sun can turn even the most chipper person into a bit of a grump. If the blues are starting to catch up with you it’s time to take action! In five minutes or less you can boost your mood with these simple strategies:
Pause for the “Pleasure Drug” – Also known as caffeine, the world’s favorite stimulant can perk you up while helping you shake off a dark mood. Enjoy a gentle lift in a cup of hot coffee or, better yet, served up in a chilly bottle of Bai! Our eight varieties of Bai Antioxidant Infusions deliver 35 mg of caffeine per serving – enough to coax a smile!
Tune into Happy – Wireless systems like Sonos and the personalized radio service, Pandora, can serve as instant mood adjusters. Turn up the volume and maximize the bass on any station that plays your favorite dance music and just TRY not to smile – impossible! Three minutes of dancing to a great song and you’ll be on a different wavelength.
Warm Up! – If your ying isn’t yanging, heat up some water! According to Chinese medical philosophy, drinking liquids warmed to about the same temperature as the body restores balance to the digestive system and plays a role in soothing chills, sleepiness and even depression. In addition to sipping warm water with lemon to beat the blues, try your favorite Bai with heat on it and serve as you would a festive holiday drink. We recommend Bai Costa Rica Clementine, Limu Lemonade and Ipanema Pomegranate!
Get Sniffy! – It’s easy to overlook what is right under your nose. In this case, it’s the fact that an aromatic sniff can lift your spirits! Choose between soothing or invigorating essential oil scents depending on the mindset that accompanies your specific case of the blues. Calm anxiety with lavender, sandalwood and ylang ylang. Energize your way out of a funk with the scent of roses or bergamot. Twist open Bai Malawi Mango, Congo Pear or Panama Peach and inhale deeply to feel yourself transported to a better state of mind!
Go Fatty! – The Omega 3 fatty acids found in salmon, mackerel, sardines and flax seeds help protect against dips in mood. Healthy brains and nerve cells, which are made mostly of fat, depend on a diet rich in omega-3s because the body can’t produce its own. Keep your nervous system and brain well-nourished on happy foods like oily fish, leafy greens, brussel sprouts, seeds and nuts to help keep moods elevated. Accompany each serving with refreshing, antioxidant-rich Bai!
