Here are seven ways to turn a bad day good.

Walk it off. Put on your walking shoes and take off. Walk for at least twenty minutes. Walk briskly and with purpose. Focus on the movement of your body and your breathing to tune into the moment. Imagine that you are walking away from your stress, leaving it behind you. Choose a mantra for your walk; repeat to yourself, “I attract positive experiences into my life!” Or, “I am happy, healthy, and well!” Your mantra can be anything, so long as it is positive (i.e., avoid mantras that begin with “I don’t want” or “I don’t like”).

Sweat it out. Go to a gym or pick up your own weights and give your muscles a workout. Research suggests that when you engage in weight resistance training with weights of 20lbs or more, your body responds by releasing youthful, energizing hormones (such as testosterone and growth hormone). Work out until you sweat—and for at least thirty minutes. Be sure to throw in about ten minutes of cardio to elevate your body core temperature. And push yourself. You’ll feel better and stronger in no time.

Dance the blues away. I do this quite often. If I am in a funk or having a bad day, I grab my iPod, turn to a great song and start to move to the beat. Certain songs instantly make me want to smile and groove. You can do this in the privacy of your home or your office. Close the door, crank the tunes, and dance! No kidding—it really works.

Have a cuppa. In my book, 52 Ways to a Healthy You, I devote an entire chapter to the benefits of drinking caffeine in moderation. Drinking coffee elevates dopamine levels in your brain. And studies show that regular coffee drinkers have a higher tolerance for stress than non-coffee drinkers. It sounds crazy, but it’s true! So the next time you are feeling down, swill a cup of espresso or black coffee. Add skim milk, stevia, or agave as desired, but try to forego the high sugar, high-fat alternatives. And remember: no more than two cups of coffee per day is recommended.

Pasta baby, pasta! Eating carbohydrates can elevate serotonin levels in the brain. So if you are one of those people who avoid carbs like poison, now and then, you might think about eating a bowl of pasta. Pasta won’t elevate your blood sugar as quickly as bread will, but it provides a nice slow release of glucose into your system. Carb addicts might want to use this trick as a last resort!

Laugh. I am a huge advocate of laughing and smiling. Did you know that when you smile, blood flow increases to your brain, literally cooling down those hot-headed moments? And when you laugh, stress hormones are lowered, and feel-good hormones are elevated! Do what you can to laugh, smile, and make yourself happy. Fake it until you make it, as they say!

Beat Hormone Hell. Sometimes, hormonal fluctuations get the best of us, despite our best intentions. If you feel your moods are out of control, be sure to consult with a primary health care provider for treatment. I lean towards alternative health care, so I consult with a doctor of oriental medicine and take the supplements she recommends to keep my mood swings in check. Sometimes just a tweak of the brain biochemistry can make all the difference in the world.

The hunger to feel good has a flip side. Hence addiction is a huge problem for many in our society. I should know. My genetic heritage is laden with those who have struggled with alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. My Grandpa Len died from it. He was such a great guy, too, and I adored him. It’s too bad he died at age 57. I still miss him to this day. Want to skip the bad stuff and just get high naturally? Here are 6 ways to do just that:

1. Workout. Move. Do something that involves physical activity. I enjoy fitness walks and hopping on my spin bike. And I adore the gym and try to get there at least three to four times per week. What do you love?

2. Gossip. I had no idea, but it’s true. Gossiping, according to researchers, is much like grooming among primates and helps humans bond. And elevates endorphins too. I am not a fan of “mean gossip” and recommend being kind when you do gossip.

3. Eat Chocolate. Why? If you are a chocolate lover, you have a hunch. When you eat chocolate, the simple consumption of the luscious, rich treat causes the release of phenylethylamine in the brain: the same chemical released when you fall in love.

4. Get Stuck…with Acupuncture Needles. If you haven’t tried it, you should. I love it. My acupuncturist has been treating me for years. I must say, the endorphin high is simply lovely. Researchers have proven acupuncture treatments significantly improve moods.

5. Have Sex. Post orgasm, natural pain killers are released. No wonder you feel “oh so good” afterward.

6. Laugh, Giggle, Chortle, or Guffaw. And do it a lot. I love to laugh, smile, and make others laugh. Have you laughed lately? If not, rent a funny flick. Call a friend that makes you laugh. Listen to a stand-up comic that makes you laugh. Laughing is one of the easiest ways to elevate your mood.

Discomfort and resistance to change go hand in hand. Resisting change may cause one to become unhealthy, both in mind and body, due to an elevation of stress. And as a result, not going with the flow may even cause folks to dive off their health and fitness tracks, to gain weight, to experience lowered self-esteem, to become more stressed out about relationships — thus the spiral begins. flowersIf you are like me, you need tips and tools for navigating change so you won’t go down with the ship. So here are eight tips and tools just for you.

8 Ways to Cope Healthfully with Change:

Chill Out. According to the American Academy of Family Physicians, two-thirds of doctor visits are prompted by stress-related symptoms. Practicing meditation or simply quieting your mind for at least 10 minutes each day can help lower stress hormones throughout the day. When stress is lowered, you may feel more in control in the face of change. And you will be less likely to indulge in foods and beverages that are not good for you or your waistline.

Stop Negative Talk. Feeding the “beast” of negativity is simply not productive. Think about it. Continuing to harp on the unfairness of life, how much you dislike another person or complaining, in general, will only bring you more negativity. I have no doubt about that. So as my Grandma Ruby used to say, “If you don’t have something good to say, then keep it to yourself.” I’ll take that one step farther and ask you to stop that negative self-talk too! Changing the way you think can change your life.

Go with the Flow. “It is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change.” Author unknown. Letting go and going with the flow is challenging, especially if we feel our survival is threatened in some way. But then again, if we let go of the oars in our rowboat of life and see where the current takes us, letting go of resistance to the flow of life, we might just be surprised by the gifts that lie at the end of what seems to be a tumultuous journey.

Keep the Faith. Getting online with the divine, as I like to say, can help you to stay balanced in an uncertain world. Louis Ferman, a University of Michigan researcher investigating the unemployed, found one fellow who had been laid off by the Studebaker corporation in 1962, another time in the 70′s by a truck manufacturer, and then later by the Chrysler corporation. He said this guy, by all accounts, should have been a basket case — but he was one of the most well-adjusted folks he had ever met. When asked his secret, the unemployed fellow replied, “I have a loving wife and go to church every Sunday.” Now that is food for thought.

Focus On You. Your fitness. Your diet. Your sleep. Your fun. In the face of change, it is more important than ever before to stick to your workout routine, eat healthy foods, get adequate sleep, and build fun into your life. By doing this, you can face change with a clear head and a healthy, fit body.

Get Present. Instead of focusing on the past or future, focus on the good things in the moment. As I walked my dog this morning, I focused on the budding flowers, the sounds of birds chirping, the feeling of my muscles as I moved silently alongside my faithful friend as we both breathed in the crisp morning air. Connecting with the essence of what is happening right now can be magical in helping you to stay in the flow of life.

Explore Creativity. How long has it been since you listened to music, visited an art gallery, squished some clay between your fingers, contemplated writing a book? In the face of change, you may find you have more free time on your hands — and what better time to reawaken the creative parts of you?

Reach Out. Change can be challenging when you are all by yourself. Join a group. Find a therapist. Volunteer to help out at a food pantry or join others who are building homes for those in need through Habitat for Humanity. Reaching out can help bring a fresh and positive perspective to your life in transition.

Living a passionate, healthy life requires you to become a “master of change.” I believe you can become that expert by making conscious and courageous decisions along your path in life. You are in control of the most important asset you have — and that asset, your most valuable possession, is YOU!

“When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves.” Victor Frankl

How stressed out are you?

Did you know when you change up your routine and remove yourself from rut of the same old-same old, your brain creates new neural networks? Meaning your brain actually grows new pathways or nerve “highways”?

When we expand our experience of the world by changing things up (by taking a vacation, meeting new people, or even just slightly varying our daily routines) we expand who we are, physically, emotionally, mentally and possibly even spiritually. If we don’t change things up, we don’t grow.

If you have not seen the movie “Yes Man” starring comedian Jim Carey, I advise you to do so. Here’s the premise of the movie: Jim Carey is a man of habit. He lives and dies by the clock. One day he goes to a seminar and makes a pledge that anytime someone asks him to do something, he must say, “Yes!” As a result, he finds himself doing things he would have never dreamed of doing—but he also meets the woman of his dreams and gets a huge promotion! Talk about a change for the better. This is an extreme illustration, but it does indicate the power of freeing yourself from your routine to change your life for the better.

Neurologists and research scientist have concluded that when our brain cells travel repeatedly on familiar routes, neural networks specific to our repeated behaviors will be created. And oddly enough, those same pathways may even influence your behaviors, essentially begging you to “feed” the network. We can see this neurological process enacted in cases of addiction, especially. It’s difficult to shake any habit, good or bad.

A study was conducted to illustrate how an imposed condition may lead to repetitive behavior. In the study, frogs were placed in a jar with a screened lid. In the first days, the frogs jumped high enough to hit against the lid of the jar in their attempts to escape. After a few weeks researchers observed that the frogs had started jumping to a point just below the lid, so that they no longer hit the screen. Then the researchers removed the jar lids. But the frogs continued to jump to a point just below where the lid had been—hence preventing their own escape by their self-limited behavior. The habit had already been formed.

Ask yourself: how many freedoms in your life are limited by your own repetitive behaviors? Consciously changing things up could help you to expand your thoughts and emotions. This broadening of who you are could lead you to a more fulfilling and satisfying existence!

Here are a few tips on how to break out of the rut and change your life.

Take a vacation. Getting away allows you to get back in touch with you. New sensory experiences take us out of our comfort zone, which helps us to better tune into ourselves. When we pay attention to new sights, smells and sounds we stimulate new neural pathways!

Change what’s on your plate. Experiment with culinary tastes and textures you are not familiar with. Eat a pomegranate or passion fruit! Have you ever tried Limoncella, the Italian lemon liqueur? Or what about escargot? Stop eating the same old things. Try something new.

Take a class. Do you have an interest in music, art, yoga, meditation, ballroom dancing? Follow that interest! Learning new info or a new activity will create those new neural pathways you need.

We all have bad days. But feeling bad is not productive. It can cause us to attract negative experiences and invite negative people into our lives, and can even make us feel ill. Stressful events cause agitation, anxiety or anger—and this can exacerbate stress! This vicious cycle can continue unless you do something to shake it off.

So what’s the secret to beating the bad day blues? Here are seven ways to turn a bad day good.

Walk it off. Put on your walking shoes and take off. Walk for at least twenty minutes. Walk briskly and with purpose. Focus on the movement of your body and your breathing in order to tune into the moment. Imagine that you are walking away from your stress, leaving it behind you. Choose a mantra for your walk; repeat to yourself, “I attract positive experiences into my life!” Or, “I am happy, healthy and well!” Your mantra can be anything, so long as it is positive (i.e. avoid mantras that begin with “I don’t want” or “I don’t like”).

Sweat it out. Go to a gym or pick up your own weights and give your muscles a workout. Research suggests that when you engage in weight resistance training with weights of 20lbs or more, your body responds by releasing youthful, energizing hormones (such as testosterone and growth hormone). Work out until you sweat—and for at least thirty minutes. Be sure to throw in about ten minutes of cardio to elevate your body core temperature. And push yourself. You’ll feel better and stronger in no time.

Dance the blues away. I do this quite often. If I am in a funk or having a bad day I grab my iPod, turn to a great song and start to move to the beat. There are certain songs that instantly make me want to smile and groove. You can do this in the privacy of your home or your office. Close the door, crank the tunes and just dance! No kidding—it really works.

Have a cuppa. In my book, 52 Ways to a Healthy You, I devote an entire chapter to the benefits of drinking caffeine in moderation. Drinking coffee elevates dopamine levels in your brain. And studies show that regular coffee drinkers have higher tolerance for stress than non-coffee drinkers. Sounds crazy, but it’s true!

I used to have a serious case of the Why Me’s. I did. For a while there I could have been the unofficial president of the Why Me Club. Typically these words—Why Me—will cross your mind or escape your lips when you find yourself in the middle of an uncomfortable situation. Situations that instigate such thinking can range from the small annoyance to the major life change.
If you have experienced something very big that knocked you flat, an out-of-the-blue event, you may have found yourself asking Why me?, too. About fifteen years ago my very handsome, fabulous, good-hearted, and intelligent husband of 9 years died suddenly. Just like that, he was gone. My life was shattered. I was a young widow with our two precious girls, who were only 3 and 6 years old. Why me, God? I asked. Over and over again I asked this question. My grief paralyzed me. What had I done to deserve such a tragedy? In retrospect, I realize that I was looking at life through selfish, unenlightened eyes. I thought I was the victim. Then, one day, I was able to see clearly. I wasn’t the victim; the experience just was what it was.
Sometimes you experience an uncomfortable repetition in your life. Your new boyfriend acts like your old boyfriend; a co-worker at a new job sabotages you, as did the co-worker at your last job. At times we may think, Why me? But instead we should think of these experiences as opportunities to become wiser.
A turning point in my life was when I heard Carolyn Myss, the author of Sacred Contracts, speak to a crowd in my hometown. She taught a lesson that changed me forever. She said: Imagine an angel watching over you. When you say, “Why me?” the angel pops up and asks, “Did I just hear you ask why? Because if I heard you ask why, then I guess you’ll have to experience the same situation again—until you stop asking that question.”
The point: if you keep asking why, you’ll be presented with a similar situation over and over again. I’m not saying that I would be fated to experience the death of another husband. But if I didn’t snap out of my grief, I might slip into an old pattern of feeling victimized.
After any experience, you should ask yourself: What did I learn from this, and how can I learn to avoid situations like this or deal with them in a more productive way? Stop asking why. Learn what you can. Become wiser. And move on. In my opinion that is the basis of wisdom.

I consider myself a pretty together person when it comes to working out and eating healthy food. Yet for some reason, my moods are not the best. I find I get angry easily and react when others tick me off. For example, when I am driving I get really impatient and end up being really stressed and agitated when I get to work. I feel better after I work out, but I don’t hit the gym until after work. Any ideas?
Thanks.

Dear David:

Gosh, you’re not perfect? David, it is unfortunate that so many of us have the same problem. I really feel a big part of our journey through life has to do with conquering those lower emotions and staying in a “higher” state of being. It’s super that you realize it’ s not healthy to “go there”. To be truly healthy as a “whole”, you do need to conquer those negative feelings. Read on for some motivation to kick the anger habit.
Here’s a bit of background on how negative and positive emotions have an impact upon you… body, mind, and more! Warning: This information may change your mind next time you get yourself worked up when someone cuts you off while driving to work!
Negative emotions are correlated to illness such as heart disease and suppressed immune systems. Positive emotions such as joy, happiness, and love are typically correlated to being in a more relaxed and in turn, a healthy state. It’s amazing how research indicates our negative emotions are rooted in the survival of our primitive ancestors. As a matter of fact, researchers acknowledge negative emotions directly lead to specific actions, depending upon what we are feeling. And, honestly, as humans, if we acted on the urge to “run” every time we felt fear, which originally was intended to help us to survive, what a strange, disconnected and sad existence we would have indeed. But we might be healthier!

Here’s why:

Experiencing a negative emotion gives a specific directive to your body to react. Originally, these emotions served a very specific purpose: so you would have a good chance of NOT dying. As I indicated previously, fear will cause us to want to run. Your brain says, “okay, I am feeling fear, get the body ready to run”. And it will cause all sorts of biochemical reactions, getting your body ready to run like hades. If you cannot run, your stress hormone, cortisol, is “hanging out” which, as you should know by now, will cause more calories to be stored as fat and blood sugar rises to prepare your body to have for quick energy for running. Since you won’t be running nor will you be starving anytime soon, more fat stores and higher insulin levels serve zero purpose. Anger will prepare the body to fight. Think about it. Heart rate and blood pressure increase and you actually get “hot-headed”. What do you do with all that anger now? Instead of pummeling or killing your enemy as your anger fueled you to protect yourself, it seethes inside of you. Heart disease and anger go hand in hand. Dean Ornish, M.D. was a pioneer in the field of treating heart disease not only with an aggressively healthy diet but also with stress reduction techniques.
Disgust, another negative emotion, causes us to want to “expel” or “repel” something. The list goes on and on. Negative emotions are very action-oriented, narrowly speaking and for we modern-day humans can ironically lead to illness and early death.

Do positive emotions have the same relationship with action? Not really. But they do cause a change in the way we think, which ultimately may have a beneficial effect upon our lives, not only in the moment but in the long run. In a recent article, I read on cultivating positive emotions. according to the author, feeling joy creates the urge to play. Playing expands our social network, helps us to learn new skills (think of children and play and how it expands their skill sets), pushes us to explore, invent, and more. Feeling joyful can distract us from our negative emotions and hence, if we try to stay in that joyful state, can change the way we react to specific circumstances that may typically cause you to go to a more primitive negative emotional state. Interest is another state of mind expansion. The author notes “Although interest may or may not be accompanied by overt physical action, it is nonetheless associated with feeling animated and enlivened”. Happiness or contentment takes us to a state of expansion that impacts how we view ourselves as related to the world and creating a feeling of “oneness” with others.

The point is David, being mindful that being angry in your car doesn’t really serve any true purpose… unless you intend upon becoming a “Road Rage” King so you can continue to enjoy your addiction to feeling angry.
My recommendation is to do things to help you feel positive emotions. My trick, if I am feeling down, is to blast music I love in my car, that I relate to a specific joyful experience. That makes me smile. Or I listen to enlightening podcasts. Or even comedians, causing me to laugh. Tell me, if you are laughing and in a stage of pure joy, if someone cuts you off, is it going to matter as much? What do you think? Give it a try. Stay positive if you can and stash that anger unless you really need it!

In my mind, being fit was just part of who I was — so much so that when it came to the school testing that many of us Baby Boomers experienced in junior high school (remember the Presidential Physical Fitness Award?), I would score higher than others. The tests included a one-mile walk or 1.5 mile run, one minute’s worth of sit-ups, push ups until failure and a sit-and-reach exercise that measured flexibility. I was a champion in sit ups. In my mind, I knew I was the best. And do you know what? I knew there were others who were better athletes than me. But somehow, in some way, I just made up my mind that no one would beat me. I did the same thing as a freshman in college and ended up with my name on a record-setting plaque. Crazy huh? To me, it was, since I really wasn’t going the athlete route. I was on a college dance team. (Ever hear of the Kilgore Rangerettes?) How could I do this? I believe it was in my mindset.
Tapping into the power of the mind is what many super athletes and their coaches believe is the key to reaching their ultimate goals of winning. If you feel you have failed to reach your ideal weight and fitness goals, you may want to consider these three tips — they’ve helped people like Arnold Schwarzenegger and other Olympic champions.

Believe in Yourself: Arnold Schwarzenegger became a world body-building champion in spite of his humble beginnings. Humble is not a word one would typically associate with this man, right? Still, the way he thinks and believes about himself no doubt helped him accomplish such high goals. “We all have great inner power,” says Schwarzenegger. “The power is self-faith. There’s really an attitude to winning. You have to see yourself winning before you win.” And I love this quote from him too: “The mind is the limit. As long as the mind can envision the fact that you can do something, you can do it, as long as you really believe 100 percent.” If you feel it’s difficult to get into a positive space in your thoughts, I highly recommend that you begin listening to motivational podcasts. The key is to turn on that switch that says: “I believe in me and I can achieve my goals.”

Predetermine Your Success: Brian Diemer, the 1984 Olympic Steeplechase bronze medalist, says predetermining the outcome is key to winning. Now a coach, he shared some of his advice at the 2008 Michigan Track Coaches Association Clinic. He said that envisioning an event from beginning to end, seeing one as successful and even overcoming a fall or a problem that may arise is very powerful. I have heard that many athletes do this, perhaps even playing a “movie” in their heads where there is a positive outcome. I really feel this is effective — seeing yourself as successful, smiling, satisfied at your ideal weight or achieving a fitness goal. Close your eyes and predetermine your success and infuse that vision with positive feelings.

Go Beyond Your Comfort Zone: Arnold says: “The last three or four reps is what makes the muscle grow. This area of pain divides the champion from someone else who is not a champion. That’s what most people lack, having the guts to go on and just say they’ll go through the pain no matter what happens.” Whether you are working out in the gym or tackling a strict healthy eating program, you are going to feel some discomfort, right? Achieving the ultimate in health and fitness is not always a comfortable process. Whenever I facilitate classes either in my Diet & Detox programs or fitness classes, I always address this fact. Get ready to be uncomfortable, I tell folks. Making positive changes in your health and fitness will involve leaving comfort behind. I truly believe you have to push yourself just beyond your comfort threshold in order to achieve your ultimate goals.

Years ago, in my heyday of teaching group exercise classes, I used to say this one thing: “You’ve got to change your mind before you can change your matter!” Matter, in this case, is your physical being. Believe you can achieve it. See yourself successful. And go beyond your comfort zone. I have no doubt you can be a champion too.

Psychiatrist and laughter researcher Dr. William Fry, adjunct associate professor emeritus at Stanford University medical school, has been telling people for years that laughing is good for your health. And it turns out it could be beneficial for reducing your own, ahem, bottom line. Dr. Fry claims that laughing 100 times during a 24-hour period has the same cardiovascular benefit as rowing a rowing machine for 10 minutes or riding a stationary bike for 15.

The act of laughing raises your blood pressure and heart rate — this is a reaction to the hormones released when you burst out in a guffaw. Your cancer-fighting ability increases too, because more of your disease fighting T-cells are released, thus boosting your immune system. And you get even happier because your stress hormones are lowered and feel-good endorphins elevate. Talk about a win-win situation!
If you don’t feel like smiling and laughing, just fake it. A study illustrating the impact of smiling and mood was conducted at the University of Michigan. Willing student subjects, who thought they were participating in a biomechanics exercise, were told to clench a pencil in their teeth, which caused them to mimic a smile and experience more pleasant feelings than those who did not smile. Why? Researchers say it’s because we have 42 facial muscles that contract when we smile. And smiling slows down blood flow to the brain, resulting in cooler blood reaching the hypothalamus, the master controller of body temp and emotion. If cooler blood reaches the hypothalamus, it makes us happier and calmer. Conversely, not smiling causes more blood flow to the brain, causing us to feel more stressed out and a little more “hot headed.”

So here is a fact that won’t make you laugh: The average child laughs about 400 times per day, but the average adult only laughs 15 times. When was the last time you laughed, chuckled or even smiled? Increasing your laughter quota is good for your mood, your heart and your metabolism. To help get you started, here are a few tips for getting back on the laugh track.

1. Laugh at yourself If you stumble when you speak because you are fatigued, laugh it off and stop being so serious. Others will laugh with you if you find humor in your own trip-ups.
2. Make Yourself Laugh What makes you burst out laughing? Is it watching your dog play with others? Then arrange a play date for your dog. Do you like funny films? I love Jim Carrey’s film “Liar Liar” and the blue pen scene. Watch it, and I dare you not to laugh.
3. Recycle Your Laughs My 10-year old is one of the funniest people I know. Each morning while I’m driving him to school, he makes me burst out laughing, which is pretty good since I am not exactly a morning person. Then later in the day, I recall his jokes or antics and laugh again. It’s a great way to lighten up. Go back and revisit times that made you laugh, and you will find yourself laughing all over again.

If laughter is the best medicine for your mood, your heart and your behind, why aren’t you laughing more? What things do you do to lighten up and laugh?
