How to raise your mood with a “Groovy Kind of Love”
The girl who used to sit in front of me in the class at junior high sang this one Phil Collins’ song a lot. Back then, Phil Collins was very famous, and my friend might be in love. I don’t know, I never asked her, but latter on I found this song is pretty uplifting too.
It’s a very simple song. Some of you might know this song already, so let’s sing along.
When I’m feeling blue
We all have our ups and downs in our life. Of course there were some happy times to enjoy, but there were also times when you feel so drained and burned out while everything and everyone around seems like doing their best to demoralize you, and realizing that you’re feeling so down without knowing what to do can make you feel even worse. But, wait! You always can do something about it!
All I have to do
Is take a look at you
Grab a mirror. Look into it and say, “All I have to do is….”
Take a look at yourself. Figure out whatever you can do to make you feel better and happier, whether it is a short term kind of happiness or best if it is for the longer terms. Whatever you feel is your own feeling. Since it’s your own, then it should be under your very own control. You’re the only person who knows how to make yourself happier, so allow yourself to be happy, if that’s the way you want it to be.
Then I’m not so blue
“I wish, but not really.”
Yup. Trying the above step might not always worked as you wished for. Trying to find out what you’ve got to do to make things better during difficult times may seems harder than when you’re doing it with a better mood. That way, give your self a smile, another smile, and a lot more smiles while you’re looking at your reflection in the mirror.
“Do you think I’m crazy, that I’ve got to smile to my self that much or what?!”
Well, famous actors and actresses practice their expressions by looking at their selves on the mirror. They were paid to do so, and you (not directly though) might be one of those who pay them by buying the tickets to watch their shows. At this point, which one is crazier; paying others to give you their well trained expressions, or giving your self your best smiles through a mirror?
