12 Different Approaches to Mood BoostingHeather Callaghan Well-meaning doctors dont often look beyond physical symptoms or even have time to inquire about your life or mindset. Anti-depressants, promoted by pharma reps, are sent home at the first sign of trouble unhappiness. But arent there many other ways to address mood issues? Actually yes, and this is only a sampling. It doesnt go into specific supplements, obvious benefits of a wholesome diet, or the hundreds of different works on spirituality, happiness, positivity, emotions, or the mind which may or may not help. This is to offer some modalities for quick relief. The following modalities are dear to me a list that narrows the scope a bit to techniques. I dont put all my eggs in any one, but I especially love the first five for addressing multiple issues. Look at them with fun and curiosity take what you like a leave the rest. This is to show people that there are other options for when youre feeling low. Paavo Airola, Ph.D. a nutrition/vegetarian expert who dedicated his life to healthful eating, once said it would be better to eat a Standard American Diet (S.A.D.) and do regular exercise than to eat an organic vegetarian diet but not exercise. I find GMO-foods to be health crippling and gut destroying, but definitely see his point but both organic and exercise are ideal together. Eating great but not moving just wont work stagnation is now considered a form of silent death and movement is heavily researched for its endorphin-releasing mood enhancement. I wonder about the effectiveness of exercise that isnt truly enjoyable because maybe its just going through the movements. There are more approaches. You can do research and test what truly resonates with you. Do you see how many of these can be combined and do not cost anything once they are learned? Aside from a couple therapies listed, they really dont cost much. Not even in addition to more clean water and whole, nutritionally dense foods. Do you see how none of them cause side effects (which require more drugs)? They cannot be patented either imagine that! Picture the life you can kick start by elevating your moods and consciousness.
