Imagine it’s your sibling’s birthday. You are all dressed up, ready with the cake and presents to leave for the celebration. However, you realize that you have a flat tire, so you take a cab instead. Even though you arrive just 10 minutes late, you feel upset during the entire party. One of the reasons people wake up feeling grumpy is a lack of quality sleep. Experts recommend that adults should sleep anywhere between 7 and 9 hours every night. Feeling well-rested is essential for our emotional well-being. Lack of good sleep can lead to feelings of worry and anger, among other emotions. It can also lead to decreased cognitive function and increased stress levels. During periods, serotonin, the natural body chemical that controls our mood, drops, making us feel uneasy at times. As you enter adolescence, you might have strong emotions that you’ve never had before in your life. You may feel anxious, upset, or lose your temper more than usual. This, in turn, might leave you feeling upset for not performing well on a particular project. We shouldn’t be hard on ourselves all the time. Sometimes, it’s best to take a break, relax and reenergize yourself. One should try to include home workouts or go for short walks to uplift their mood during this time. It’s recommended that adults should do at least 150 minutes of moderate intensity activity every week. It means that you should do around 30 minutes of workout daily. As humans we’re wired to focus on negative events far more than positive ones. This can also be the reason why we feel low sometimes. You should consider setting time aside to figure out the real reason for feeling disheartened. In some cases, the reason for your persistent sadness could be deeper. When factors like depression, trauma, or grief affect your mood, it’s best to visit a doctor or consult an expert. We should not shy away from getting professional help when needed.
