If you know you're in a mood, do your best to act as if you feel calm and content. When you're moody, your brain selects and attends to anything that matches your current mood, meaning that you want to get rid of any negative thoughts and expressions that it can feed off of.So, if you are smiling despite your bad mood, you will respond to yourself (and others will join in) with congruence. If you smile, others will smile back. Further, your mind will mistake your faking it with the body's real smile, summoning happier thoughts and ideas than if you were frowning. For example, if your mood makes you feel too homely to leave the house, put on your favorite shirt and leave as if you have all the confidence in the world. The goal is to engage in behaviors that are inconsistent with your feelings so that you have the momentum for a real change in mood. You are most motivated to change your mood when preparing to enter a new environment, including going from being alone to being with others. If you can go to a different place entirely, think about what you are looking for. Relaxed and well-ordered environments tend to be help. If you are unable to leave where you are, see if there's anything you can re-arrange to make the environment more pleasant, like trash that can be thrown out, or another room you can move to that you find more peaceful. Going from inside to outside has an especially strong impact on mood. If it's possible to take a break from what you're doing and spend some time outside, take it! Natural environments have automatically uplifting qualities. Exercise causes your brain to release endorphins, adrenaline, serotonin and dopamine--all chemicals that act to relieve tension and uplift your mood. While yoga, weight training, and cardiovascular exercise have all been shown to improve emotional states, even a brisk walk can be an effective mood changer. Using breathing techniques are very helpful for both relaxation and increased energy. There are different techniques depending on which of these, relaxation or stamina, you believe you need to improve the mood. These techniques can be learned here. Listening to music intentionally--focusing on the beat and noticing how it makes you feel--is heavily impactful, especially by upbeat music. A good choice of music might be something that you are already familiar with and that's upbeat, so think about what you would play in a party or social environment. Music as a mood-changing tool can also be used to help feel into the negativity of the mood, so it may be worthwhile to indulge your craving for sad music. With either sad or upbeat tunes, make sure that you are aware of how you are being affected without going overboard and wondering whether it's "working yet". Because we are highly affected by those around us, changing the people in your immediate surrounding is just as important as changing your physical environment. After you assess who you need to avoid and who you cannot, try getting in touch with someone whose presence you find comforting and uplifting. You can simply call or text someone, letting them know that you're feeling down and want to check in. Make sure that they know where your mood's status, and that you do not need their help diagnosing it. The best contact in moments of extreme moodiness are brief affirmations and well-wishes that will relax you rather than challenge you to fake happiness in conversation.

Summary: Fake it 'till you make it. Change your environment. Get active. Change your breathing. Listen to music. Contact someone you can trust to lift your mood.


Style it as you normally would with a hair dryer or flat iron. This way you can ensure that the way you cut your bangs will work with your hairstyle. Straight-across bangs work best on thin, straight hair. If your hair is naturally curly or wavy, use a flat iron to straighten your bangs. Use an anti-frizz serum if you are prone to fly-aways. Blunt bangs should start about 2–3 inches (5.1–7.6 cm) back from your hairline, and should cover the width of your forehead. Use a fabric covered elastic band, scrunchy, or hair clip. This way you can keep from cutting too much hair. Blunt bangs can fall anywhere from just above your eyebrows to just above your upper lashes. Don't go too short at first - you can always cut more. Fold your hair over to see the bangs would look like at different levels before making the cut. Your fingers should hold it just above where you want to cut your hair. Make a horizontal cut, making the bangs slightly longer (about half an inch) than what you want them to be. It's better to err on the longer side at first. When you're cutting blunt bangs, it's extra important to use a good pair of haircutting scissors. Using any other type will make it look like a preschooler cut your bangs. Brush the bangs with a comb so that they lie flat on your forehead. Holding the scissors vertically, trim the bangs to the length you want, working your way from the middle of the bangs to the ends.  Blunt bangs should be slightly shorter in the middle and slightly longer at the ends. This helps them lay more naturally on your forehead. Before you cut your bangs more, you might want to use a flat iron or curling iron to slightly curl the ends under. This may allow you to comfortably wear your bangs at the current length, reducing the likelihood that you'll accidentally cut them too short. Check to see if they are even, and cut any stray hairs. Enjoy your new look!

Summary: Wash and dry your hair. Use a comb to brush the front your hair forward. Tie the rest of your hair back. Determine how short you want the bangs. Use your non-dominant hand to hold the hair taut. Use your other hand to cut. Trim them more. Tousle your bangs with your fingers. Brush excess hairs away using a makeup brush.

If you want your cat to be certified, it usually must be a specific age. Often, your cat must be at least a year old before it can be certified as a therapy cat. In addition, you must have had the cat for at least 6 months. Before beginning any therapy, your cat should be evaluated by a vet. In addition to making sure the cat is healthy, the vet should also update the cat on any shots it needs. Often, the organization will require your vet to fill out a specific form. Your vet will likely be familiar with it. Another requirement by some certification organizations is that you don't feed a raw diet. A raw diet increases the chances that your cat will carry bacteria, putting those who are sick or who have poor immune systems at risk.
Summary: Make sure your cat is of age. Get a clean bill of health. Don't feed a raw diet to your cat.
