Mood & Environment Are Not Separate!
Our environment is a large influence on our mental well-being. So we should surround ourselves with beauty. We’re attracted to it, it brightens our day, and it will make you smile. That’s why in today’s post I brought together a collection of things that should brighten your day.
Beauty makes life bearable.
1. To Make You Smile
Smiles are contagious. I dare you not to smile along with Alma Garcia in this short 10-minute film by Carlos Lascano.
I’m still smiling! How about you?
“Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile,
but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy.” ~Thich Nhat Hanh
2. Inspirational Quotes from Artists
Artists translate the world’s beauty into even better beauty. (Can that be a thing?) Get your fill of positive quotes and images on a post I co-authored over here at Crazy Little Family Adventure. Orana created the images and they are an amazing compliment to the quotes.
3. Relaxing or Invigorating?
I think it depends on if you listen to it muted or not. I’d say that without music it will be your moment of zen for the day (it’s kind of trance-inducing). Choose the method that gets you to the mood you need most!
So which did you try?
4. The Power of Music
Here’s a similar experiment, a blog post I wrote ages ago about the power to influence mood: How to Evoke Powerful Emotion. Its focus is to calm and uplift. It’s worth a look even if you just like looking at the pictures.
For a more energizing experience, go crank up your favorite tunes (and then share with me in the comments your favorite music.)
5. Laughter
I seriously contemplated posting a cat video, but I decided to share the entertaining and clever workings of Zach King instead. He makes it look effortless….or that he has a lot of time on his hands. (Don’t worry there are plenty of cats too.)

I really did like watching the video and shared it to G+. I did mute the music, though after a bit.
That’s cool! Thanks. I’m glad you tried muting it.
I love Zac King! I think he actually has too much time on his hands but his Vines rate among some of my favorites. Anythibg that makes me laugh is always a win, so thanks for sharing.
Agreed!
How could anyone not agree with this list? Life doesn’t need to be complicated. Get these 5 things in your life and you’ll be fine
London, glad to see you lurking around here. Cheers and thank you!
