Rainy Dating Days – Seven Ways to Jump Start Your Mood and Your Love Life

It’s been cold, it’s been dreary, you haven’t had a date since Christmas, and you’re just plain bored and tired of being single.

I hear ya.

Here are a few life tips and dating tips to help you jump start your gloomy mood into a livelier mood. Spring is here (almost).

1 – A little bedroom feng shui will kick start your energy both at home and out there in the big bad dating world. Here are a few feng shui tips.

• Fire colors evoke passion. Decorate your bedroom with yellows, reds, and oranges.
• Pair up decorative items, i.e., two flowers in two vases, two floating candles, two pretty stones.
• Clear out your closet so there is some empty space.
• Move your bed away from overhead lights so that it is not directly in line with the door.

2 – Eat these three foods: 1) multi-grain pasta, 2) acai berries, and 3) spinach. You’ll have more energy, you’ll consume fewer calories, and you’ll just feel good.

3 – A fake tan. Ok, ok, I know fake baking is cancer causing and sort of ridiculous, but a little bit of a sunshine can improve your mood and make you feel sexier. And if you feel sexier, then you will be sexier.

Take just ten minutes every week to sit in the sun. Even if it’s cold outside, take advantage of that vitamin D. Then later, lather on self-tanning lotion for a fake, but healthy sun tan.

4 – Self help books aren’t just a fad. Dr. Judith Orloff’s Guide to Intuitive Healing: 5 Steps to Physical, Emotional, and Sexual Wellness is a top seller for a good reason: It helps people improve on their confidence and overall wellness.

5 – Are you tired of hearing yourself whine? Have your friends stopped returning your calls because you are, shall we say, a Debbie downer? Give it a break already, geesh.

6 – Start a happiness journal. Every day write down something you like about yourself and like about being single. Look on the bright side.

7 – Change things up. Paint a wall, take a pottery class, subscribe to a new magazine, revamp your Facebook profile, and revitalize your online dating profile with a new write-up and a good-looking photo!
