VPOD: Vintage 1940s Crab Moonstone Pin and Feeling Crabby
Feeling crabby? Not me. Not today. The sun is shining and Im heading home to visit family tomorrow. But like you, Ive been known to wake up on the wrong side of the bed occasionally. And if youre not careful and nip it in the bud that crabby feeling can last all day.
But whats so great is that we get to control our moods. Thats right. YOU are in charge of your moods.
Look, you cant control the weather. You cant control control interest rates. You cant control if hell love you back. But you can control how you feel at any moment.
Wanna feel crabby all day? Go ahead. But lifes a lot more fun when youre looking at glasses that are half full. So try these quick mood enhancers the next time youre in a crabby mood:
* Smile and Laugh. Yep, studies show that changing your expression can change your mood and research has also shown that when you laugh, your body releases neurochemicals that improve your mood. (Four-year-olds smile and laugh about 400 times a day. The average adult? Only about 14 times a day. Something to think about)
* Listen to Music. Music can stimulate your brain waves and stimulate your body to produce serotonin, a neurotransmitter linked to mood. Plus singing at the top of your lungs when no one can hear you just feels good!
* Exercise. Move that body! Youll breath deep, sweat out toxins and release endorphins like crazy.
* Cheer Up Someone Else. Thats right. Get out of your own head and make it about someone else. Compliment someone. Thank someone. Let the frazzled mother with three kids and only one item go in front of you at the checkout. Tell that kid in the army uniform that you appreciate his service. Its hard to stay crabby and irritable when you spread good cheer.
Plus the only time crabby is beautiful is if it looks likes todays VPOD.
This vintage 1940s crab pin, with its moonstone belly and rhinestones, is featured in Warmans Costume Jewelry Figurals.
