There's something about autumn that's rather unique that no one can deny. We leave the comfortable schedule of the summer periods for back to school, sports practice, and a wholesome sense of a brand-new start. After a sunny, warm, and exciting Summer month, September might make some people feeling blue.
You may be one of those who are not that excited about rainy and chilly days ahead of us. If you are looking for an instant mood boost you are in the right place. The air getting a bit crisper and cozying up in our warm fuzzy sweaters with a cup of hot beverage will become your favorite thing to do after you read this post.
7 ACTIVITIES THAT WILL BOOST YOUR MOOD THIS AUTUMN
WATCH YOUR FAVORITE FALL MOVIE
The list of fall movies is glorious. From the classics as When Harry Met Sally or Mona Lisa Smile to Coco and Hocus Pocus. From horror to thriller to romance. There are so many amazing autumn movies you can start watching right now. Having a movie marathon sounds like something that would boost anyone's mood in an instant. I'm sure that you already have a list of your favorite movies to watch during Autumn. If you are still not in a complete Fall mood this is the best way to slowly ease into it.
GO ON A LONG WALK
I'm sure that you are well aware of how important moving your body is. Walking for 30 minutes a day or longer on most days of the week is an excellent way to repair or sustain your overall well-being. If you can’t manage 30 minutes a day make sure to at least do a simple stretching. Walking with friends can turn working out into a pleasant occasion. Walking through nature while it is changing colors is so relaxing. Feeling the crispy air on your cheeks and taking a few deep breaths will make you feel calm and that immediately boosts your mood.
HAVE A SPA SESSION
Who says that you need to have time or money for fancy salon massages and facials? What you need is a little bit of time for yourself in the comfort of your home. Start with decluttering the area you want to have your pamper session in. Make a whole mood with scented candles and fairy lights. Grab your favorite products and start your spa session. Make a bubble bath, get a fizzy drink and simply relax. Take this time to focus on yourself. Try your best to keep all the worries outside. Turn off all of your gadgets for a total stress-free spa session.

SNUGGLE IN WITH A BOOK
Autumn books appear in as numerous variations as one might want. You can read a college novel and relive your glory ages at school, or you can discover a book with clear explanations of foliage and the freeze pinching the air. As the Autumn passes, it's time for another kind of chill. Choose a belletristic horror masterpiece to put yourself in the Halloween mood. Books are a great escape from reality. They will transport you into another world and make you feel excited about all that Fall brings.
SAY MOOD-BOOSTING AFFIRMATIONS
Saying affirmations might not be for everyone but I still encourage you to try it at least once. Sometimes we need a little bit of encouragement that only we can give ourselves. Here are a few mood-boosting affirmations you can say when you are feeling down.
I allow my true self to flourish.
There is power within me.
I am a powerful badass.
I feel wonderful and alive.
I am a powerful creator.
I wake with new energy and optimism.
I don't have to be anyone but myself.
I love and respect myself deeply.
I make a difference in the world.
This is just a wave, I am the ocean.
DECORATE YOUR HOME FOR AUTUMN
It is time to create the cozy home of your dreams inside with beautiful fall decorating ideas for your living room, dining room, bedroom, kitchen, and more. Autumn is all about making your place look as comfortable and warm-hearted as imaginable. Manageable additions like festive autumn door decorations, dining place decoration and fall fireplace decor ideas for the living room deliver a chic, autumnal feeling throughout your home. You can find amazing ideas on Pinterest. I encourage you to fall DIY projects as well.
MAKE APPLE PIE
I don't know a single soul that doesn't feel happy in the presence of an apple pie. You don't need to have a lot of baking experience to make a delicious apple pie. There are a lot of simple recipes you can follow. Baking is such a great way to improve your mood and make you feel a sense of accomplishment. Apple pie will not only boost your mood but the mood of everyone around you. It's a win-win-win situation. If you are not a fan of apple pie you can always choose to make delicious cinnamon rolls, chocolate chip cookies, or any other treats of your choice.
