The environment is filled with various stimuli. Even inanimate objects obtain an emotional reaction from us because we have a habit of associating everything we experience, with our past occurrences involving similar objects and people. For the same reason, it is important to actively look out for positive stimuli so as to elicit a positive emotional response, and thereby, improve our day.
Surprisingly, it is often the few striking features of our physical environment about which we have good memories. Yet we tend to take them for granted. Take the sun, for instance. If you have a cherished memory where you sat and watched the sunrise with your family or friends and found peace for a few moments, try and achieve that sensation each time you step out of the house. Exposure to the sun will immediately bring out a peaceful feeling within you because of this association, and you will feel significantly better than you already do.
It is important to have a positive outlook through the course of the day because negative emotions tend to cloud the mind. Furthermore, a bad mood spreads fairly quickly, and you will only regret that the cause of another person’s foul mood could have been you. Another excellent technique is to smile politely at anyone who might pass you by and make eye contact. Bringing out joy in other people is quite rewarding in its own manner. Consider doing one small good deed a day if possible. Soon, nothing will be able to bring you down in the dumps.
