Be daring

Be daring 

This information comes from InStyle magazine (April 2007, ‘5 ways to improve your mood’, by Robin Powell, pp.184–186)

We like novelty – something new, something different. We hate to be bored, and when our brain’s not engaged in something that takes up our attention it can fill instead with old fears and anxieties, negative feelings and thoughts.

So when you’re feeling down, a change really can be as good as a holiday.

Shake up your routine, try a new gym class, go somewhere else for lunch, sign up to do a course.

It’s also important to protect the value of the things you like to do, by not doing them all the time.

Pleasures repeated too often lose their lustre, in the same way that we kill off our favourite pieces of music by playing them over and over.

Find a range of things you like to do, and do them all, but not so often as to take any of them for granted.
