How to Cure a Grumpy Mood

Recently I was looking back at my old website and found this post from 2009 and thought it was too fun to keep in the archives….and I thought I’d share it again, you know…in case there is a day you need it!

Okay, here we go!

The Surefire Cure for Grumpiness 

Step One:

Grab a digital camera.  Go to somewhere quiet and take pictures of anything.  Then turn the camera on yourself. Don’t fake a smile.  Photograph your grumpiness.

Step Two:

Keep taking pictures until something shifts, even if it takes a while.  Maybe its the sunshine, or that you feel beautiful or are wearing the most gigantic earrings.  Or maybe its just that your grumpiness wanted to be witnessed.  Smile, for reals.

Step Three:

Be silly. Laugh at your ridiculous bed-head or a trying to be cool-face that didn’t fly.  Don’t anyalze it.  Just play.

Step Four:

Keep taking pictures. Keep playing.  Smile (or don’t).  Go home feeling like a different person.
