Maybe you’re thinking that all this fuss about romance lately, really isn’t for you. To put it bluntly, you’re just not in the mood to be romantic. There is too much going on, you’re stressed, and you can’t just put everything aside to concentrate on Valentine’s Day or to come up with romantic gestures.
Try some natural mood enhancers. They won’t make problems go away, but they may help you face things in better spirits or give you enough of a pick-me-up to give your romance a recharge.
Don’t Forget the Fish
Studies show that eating fish, especially those with a high level of omega-3 fatty acids can lift the mood as well as many anti-depressants. Snack on some smoked salmon, tuna, or broiled fish to feel better. The recommendation is to eat fish at least three times each week to begin noticing an improvement.
Indulge in Some Chocolaty Goodness
Yes! Chocolate really is good for us! That alone is enough to make me feel happier. Of course, it’s like anything else and must be used in moderation. Dark chocolate is the healthiest, but most any type of quality chocolate will help lift your mood within moments of enjoying it. Share some with your spouse.
Get a Little Exercise
It may not sound like fun, but exercise can definitely change your mood in a variety of ways. It releases chemicals for a physical effect, but it can also have the psychological effect of making you feel better about yourself. Check the Fitness Blog for ideas.
Force Yourself to Have Fun
It’s easier said than done, but even if you don’t feel like it, make yourself have some fun. Watch a comedy or read some jokes and have a good laugh. Reminisce about silly things that you and your spouse have done together. Laughter is good for the soul.
