Your sense of self-worth is incredibly hard to define, let alone quantify, yet it must be said that an individual’s level of self-worth is at the heart of a myriad of different mental health issues.

If you, or a loved one, suffers from bouts of low mood, then making an appointment with your medical doctor is one of the best ways to ascertain a) how to deal with it and b) what the root cause of the issue could be. However, if you are looking for other possible ways to increase your mood more naturally, then continue reading.

Eat More Fruit & Vegetables

Although it may feel like when experiencing a period of demotivation and general low mood, the best possible thing you can do is reach for a giant candy bar, quite the opposite is true.

No one would deny you such a treat, but to potentially try to prevent such a dip in your emotional strength moving forward, increasing your weekly intake of fruit and vegetables is an excellent place to start.

The best fruits and vegetables to consume which are linked to helping naturally boost people’s overall mood and feelings of happiness include strawberries, cherries, avocado, walnuts, tomatoes, onions, beets, and beans.

Take More Pride in Your Appearance

Another thing low mood convinces you to do is to spend your day in baggy sweatpants and not bother with make-up, accessories, or even brushing your hair, and this is entirely understandable if you feel this way.

However, fighting such feelings and making a deliberate effort to try to shower each day, dress in fresh clothes, and put on some make-up (if you are so inclined), is a way to combat your negative emotions being compounded by not feeling as if you are ‘ready’ for the day.

Try CBD Oil

CBD oil, with incredibly small amounts of THC (0.3% or under) is entirely legal in the United States, and entirely free of mind-altering properties, properly sourced full spectrum cbd oil can potentially contribute to the alleviation of pain in or more areas of the body.

Other possible benefits of CBD oil and other CBD products include:

• Antioxidant effects
• A way to improve high blood pressure
• A reduction in the risk of weight-related problems
• Digestive support
• Combat addiction to opioids
• A reduction in inflammation of muscles and joints

Create an Upbeat Music Playlist

The temptation, for a lot of people, when they are feeling low and generally demotivated is to listen to music which evokes such emotions and encourages them to fall lower and lower in terms of their mood and outlook. Instead, choose a platform, be that Spotify, Apple Music, or simply a folder on your laptop, to create a customized and personal music playlist. This way, the next time you are feeling as if you cannot concentrate on anything and you feel yourself dipping down emotionally, you can pop your headphones on and fill your head with plenty of good vibes.
