5 Easy Ways to Shake Off a Bad Mood


1. Leave the room

Get a change of scene. Right now. Bad moods can be triggered by all kinds of things and often it’s something around you that ticked you off, and if you stay in the same environment it’ll continue to nag at you and play on your mind. Go to a new environment, surround yourself with different things, different people and different sensations and it’s easier for you to leave your bad mood behind you.

2. Give yourself a treat

When you’re in a bad mood it’s easy to look for things to fuel that bad mood or reinforce it. Why? Because you want to feel like your bad mood is valid, so you look for things to validate it and make it right.
Break that habit by doing the opposite, no matter how strange it might feel. Watch a funny movie, play your favourite song, go for a walk in your local park, grab a coffee and a slice of pie in that great coffee shop. Do something that feels good and puts a smile on your face, and your bad mood will be history.

3. Have a BMW

When I’m in a coaching session with someone it’s pretty obvious if they’re in a bad mood. When that happens I say to them, “Right. You have 4 minutes to Bitch, Moan and Whine all you want. When the 4 minutes is up there’s no more moaning, deal?”. Then they let rip for 4 minutes.
Taking just a couple of minutes for a BMW (as I like to call it) can get everything right out there, everything that’s bubbling away. The key is not to pause or think – a BMW session is just getting it all out there. Often you’ll find that you run out of steam before the 4 minutes is up and sometimes you’ll just end up laughing. Either way, when you’re done you’ll feel lighter.

4. Hit the gym

Physical exercise has a direct influence on our mood, and countless studies have shown that exercise releases endorphins and serotonin (the body’s pleasure chemicals) that positively affect your mood. Hitting the gym not only releases those feel-good chemicals, but it’s a great distraction, diverting your attention away from your bad mood and giving you something to do that occupies your body and mind.

5. Let yourself off the hook

Fact of Life – Bad moods happen. Sometimes, it’s just fine to let the bad mood ride. If things are niggling you and bad moods are a familiar deal to you, then it’s a good bet that something’s not quite right somewhere in your life. Letting the bad mood ride allows you to go to those dark places where you wouldn’t normally go and see what’s there.
You don’t have to wallow in it, but letting it happen can be surprisingly liberating. Your bad moods are just as valid as your good moods and when you come out the other side you might just have learned something about what’s really going on.

Eventually, however, the tower's beauty, originality, and engineering wizardry won it widespread praise and affection -- as well as a place on the canvases of artists such as Pissarro and Utrillo.

How to overcome nervouseness and anxiety during a speech

Step 1
Choose a topic you kno well. Speaking about  an unfamiliar topic or one that is not particularly interesting can increase your anxiety about giving a speech.
Step 2
Make notes about you want to say, but do not write out your entire speech. Relying on a written speech is not a good idea because you can lose your place while you are more likely to remember the text point and regain your composure should you happen to lose focus.
Step 3
Rehears your speech several times in front of a friend who you know will give you honest feedback. Ask your friend to evaluate your posture, speaking voice, eye contact and the content of your speech.
Step 4
Arrive early  at the location where you will be making the speech. Familiarize yourself with the lay out of the room and the stage. Make sure you know how to work the microphone and any audio-visual aids before you begin speaking.
Step 5
Meet members of the audience before you make your speech. Seeing a few familiar faces in the audiences may make you feel more at ease when speaking.
Step 6
Take a deep breath after you are introduce and speak your first sentence in a strong, clear voice. A strong opening to your speech can increase your  confidence level.
Step 7
Select  a few people in the audience and focuse on them during your speech. These people may be a people you already know or people who seem to be receiptive an d friendly. Focuse on each person for a few sentences and then move your gaze to a person in another section of the room.

the Leaning Tower of Pisa

Who can't know the Leaning Tower of Pisa? Talking about "the best shot in Italy", everyone would think this famous Leaning Tower of Pisa. Everyone takes a photo in front of this tower, "supporting" it to avoid leaning. Subsidence of the slope has completely stopped now, so you can also climb the Leaning Tower. The view from the Leaning Tower is wonderful, of course! Not only the Square of Miracles but also red-tiled rooves you can overlook.
It's possible to do day trip from Florence to Pisa, but it would be nice to stay at least one night. Since Pisa has a famous university, the atmosphere of the town is young, lively and fun. I recommend the hotels with good reviews of guests.

Poetri for Mom

Have you ever looked at the sun?
Is not capable of blinding light eyes?
Have you ever seen the moon?
Is not able to provide a description of light within you?
Have you ever been up in flames?
Is not you feel the heat?
Have you ever hit the water?
Is not cool toward you?

That's mother,
Like the sun that can make you dazzled with her ​​love
That's mother,
Like the moon that could light up with love
That's mother,
As with any fire that could burn for the sake of protecting you
That's mother,
Just cool it with water that is able to offer thirsty
As strong as any water that could hit
For the sake of a bit of happiness for you.

Hopeless

Today was so short. I did not get to enjoy the beautiful weather today. I just stared at my computer's screen and sometime wrote on my notebook.  
Afternoon was unnoticed ahead. I were  to ignore my breakfast and lunch . For some reason, my eyes did not  feel tired and my stomach did not feel hungry. It's just that my head a bit dizzy. I do this just to change my life for the better eventhough I have lost a bit of nutrition in my body. I hope that sacrifice was not in vain ..

Devil Wears Prada

Have you ever read The Devil Wear's Prada Novel? It is the best novel by Lauren Weisberger. This novel tells about fashion style. I'll tell you a little of the synopsis to you. The story tells the professional adventure of Andrea, whose greatest dream is to become a journalist. Andrea gets a job in the fashion industry through Runway magazine, the most famous of its type, to make ends meet. But Andrea won't develop her writing skills in the magazine, but her talents as the editor in chief's assistant, Miranda. The problem is that Miranda is a merciless, posh and cruel woman, making the experience a living hell for the girl. The environment in the place will be cold and extremely critical with the physical appearance. The girl will have to change her simple and plain style, for a more trendy and elegant one, in order to gain the acceptance of her ruthless boss and colleagues, specially Emily, her unpleasant workmate. Despite everything against Andrea in the office, she will consider the experience as a challenge, drastically changing her clothes and self-image, with the help of Nigel, the magazine's art director. Nevertheless, the job becomes extremely demanding, because of Miranda's tough work rhythm and nearly impossible tasks, leaving Andrea without a private life with her boyfriend, family and friends. Maybe the old Andrea has gone, now more preoccupied about her image and her future in the magazine.

Love the ant

Love the ant

Three ants met
In the mustache of a man who was
Fast asleep under a shady tree.
After they had saluted each other in accordance
With habits of ants, they sat down and began to talk.
The first ant berhujar,
"I've crossed the hills and plains
Most barren. Throughout the day I mencaqri grain there, but I did not find any. "

Ant to two berhujar,
"I did not find any, though I have visited all the slopes and
hallway. I'm sure, this is therefore
why the people we called the little creatures,
they always move to a place
There are no plants. "

Then the third ant raised his head,
With his cocky and arrogant berhujar,
"My friends, we are now standing upright
On top of a giant ant mustache, ant the supreme
And all-mighty, the body is too large for us to see,
Her body is too large for us to follow,
His voice is too loud to hear,
And he was everywhere. "

When ants into when finished,
Other ants looked at each other and laughed.
At the same time he was moving tanggannya
In bed and scratching his mustache,
And the three ants were destroyed

Halgia Sophia, in the Istanbul Turkey

           Hagia Sofia, which is Greek for The Church of Holy Wisdom, is a museum that had once been a church and a mosque, and is located in the Turkish city of Istanbul. Grand as the edifice is, its history is the stuff that legends are constructed of. The Hagia Sophia isn’t just one of Turkey`s national treasures, but one of the best monuments of the world. Its rich heritage and breathtaking beauty hold magnetic charms for the history buffs, the art connoisseurs and the lay tourist alike.
           The Hagia Sophia have been a church for 916 years, a mosque for 481 years and since 1934, it is playing the type of a museum. It has a history that can, at best be referred to as being unique. The Hagia Sofia had its beginnings in a humble looking wooden roofed basilica way back in 390 A.D. The church was dedicated to Hagia Sophia or the Divine Wisdom. The church, then generally known as Megale Ecclesia or The Great Church, was burnt and reduced to rubble in 404 A.D.
           At its site, Theodosius built an even bigger church. This building was again destroyed in the Nika Revolt of 532 A.D against Emperor Justinian. Under his orders, and supervised by architects Anthemius of Tralles and Isidorus of Miletus, the Hagia Sophia began to be rebuilt in that year itself. The 4th Crusade of 1204 saw the plunder of the Hagia Sophia. The iconoclastic crusaders systematically eradicated all images with religious connotations from the Hagia Sophia.1453 was a watershed year in the already battered good reputation for Hagia Sophia.
          Sultan Mehmet, after winning over Constantinople, in the year 1453, ordered the Hagia Sophia to be turned into a mosque. Hagia Sophia, or, The Church of the Divine Wisdom, thus began its metamorphosis into a mosque. Minarets, from which the summon cries for the daily prayers are issued; the Mihrab, an alcove in the wall facing Mecca and the member, which is a platform for the rendering of sermons, were the typically Islamic inclusions in the Hagia Sophia. Eight wooden plates bearing Islamic calligraphy are amongst other such add-ons.
