I like to think of myself like a sim. If I'm in a bad mood, I ask, am I hydrated? Nourished? Clean? Socialised? Exercised? And if I sort those things out, 9 times out of 10 my mood becomes good:)
@@tnijoo5109 wait, is that really a 20 year old game? Time to find out which of these things will get me out of that "sudden realization that I'm old now" bad mood...
@@Alnakar the game is 22 years old. I bought it for my sister when it first came out. We played it for hours and loved it. Whenever you feel old, just think of someone who is 20 or 30 years older than you. :)
Totally saved this vid with the disclaimer that _moods_ (as discussed here) aren’t depression, grief, etc.🤘🙂 That said, your tips here _are_ a help even with the deep pain of depression and grief, for me anyway. And I will be adding these to my list, because it’s very hard to think of anything helpful in the depths of depression and grief. Thanks Craig!
I am sorry to hear that you are dealing with grief and depression. What helped me after my dad died was practicing yoga nidra, a sleep-based meditation. They have tons of free guided recordings here on RUclips. May your pain fully heal soon!
A change of scenery is a good way to pull me out of a funk. If I'm at my computer, mad at stuff, I try to force myself to go upstairs and just do something else for 10 minutes. Step outside. If I can go for a walk do that. Anything to get out of my head for a few minutes can really change my perspective.
Absolutely. Changing what you're doing and where you are is a great way to shift perspectives. If you're sitting and working at a computer, stand up and go for a 10-minute walk around the block. It can make a real difference, as small as it seems.
I really like to take a walk, especially if it's in a busier area where I can observe people going about their days, it reminds me that this is a big world and that helps me put my stress into perspective (not minimize it, but just remember that it probably doesn't need to take up so much space in my brain).
Thanks, Life Coach Craig. I can always use tips on improving my mood. Maybe if everything didn't suck in the world, it would be easier. But this is a good reminder that I can improve things in my immediate world, at least. Thanks for sharing!
My mood lifting go to (started during the lockdown & has been in constant - as in practically daily - rotation ever since, especially since my husband unexpectedly died): Take a shower (*not* cold, that’s torture for me) and sing along to (okay, more like perform) the HamilFilm soundtrack. Or get in the car & do the same (minus the shower - showers in cars are messy.) In fact, I need to stop procrastinating, so I’m going to go do that now! Thanks WheezyWaiter!
I think you missed a really important one, which is to have a snack. Studies show that hunger is one of the biggest predictors of mood. In fact the biggest predictor for how harsh judges are in their sentencing is how many hours have passed since lunch.
@@Zeverinsen Lol well yeah but you can overdo it with any of the things mentioned in this video. People stress eat for a reason, it does help with mood. Just have to be smart about what you eat.
@@Zeverinsen That's an idiotic statement. Do you also think all the advice in this video is worthless? You could also over-exercise, or over do anything in this video. Most people can have a snack without death spiralling their lives into an eating disorder lol. It's perfectly valid advice, if you're grumpy, ask yourself if you're hungry
Excellent timing, I was having an especially crappy evening. Your videos always make me feel calm and happy and hopeful that i can change my life for the better ☺️
:) good info and fun besides. Singing always helps my mood. I've heard that starting listening to music that matches your mood and transitioning to happier music works.
Idea: do one at a time and or load these up - all at once: - smell something good / fave scented candle or something - turn on a favorite and funny song, - laugh - dance - while cleaning - focus on the now (mindfulness) - mentally list things your grateful for and why ☺️👍
I forgot about Science and then he popped in again at the end and I laughed out loud. Thank you for your videos. They take my mind off life's woes and my mood is improved. 😉
Thanks Greg, this video really helped me get to work on a project I have to finish as well as on getting my apartment ready for a party. How can getting ready for a party that I look forward to be something that I want to procrastinate on? Well, this video helped me start.
A really big exercise adventure nicely combines exercise and doing something stupid for me, like biking 50k or going on a ridiculous hike. always raises my mood (eventually, the first hour or so can be a drag) and I'll have something fun to tell people if they ask what I've done over the weekend ✅
I would love it if you would do a video about grounding mats. I recently got one because doctors were not able to help me with the medical problem I was having. It has resolved my problem, no more pain, and I sleep better!
Have you tried red light therapy? That could be a great video. It claims to have a lot of benefits (including things like helping you sleep) but the panels can be expensive
Yes, moods are sneaky. Should always wait and ponder on things a while before making decisions. As someone with mental illness maybe I just learnt this quicker because mine may swing more violently? I dunno. I just brew for a long time, ask people for opinions, and try remove emotion from decisions
Great ideas and my mood immediately improved when you voiced what I say at least every week, stop making great movies Benedict and get back to Sherlock!
Poop with the music on while writing lists about things is a mega combo. It also moves your belly and it can count as an exercise depending on your diet.
This video got me thinking of a content idea for you (though I imagine you have plenty of those!) - "I spent one month learning about the menstrual cycle" (the link was mood>PMT!). Menstrual cycles generally last a month and 50% of the population experience it relentlessly for years. You could set out 30 days of the cycle and talk to a different woman every day about their experiences of that stage of the cycle (ie period, ovulation, luteal). You could reflect on how, if it were you, that stage of the cycle might have effected your day (eg cancelling plans due to period pain, or suffering PMT during your birthday).
uhmmmmm......... I'm working through my college course on the constitution and.......... you're doing my video on committees?! mind. blown. 😂 instantly more interested lol
Honestly, my period moods affect me so much But the sad mood just before it and the endorphin saturated mood just after it is both nice in it's own way.
"this is not about depression" Me: Ohh damn... "for that you should talk to a professional.." Well you make video professionally.. That have to count.. Right?
Weird coping mechanisms from lockdown and the frustration of moving home to The Middle Of Nowhere with My Parents; - singing. Lots and lots of singing. - screaming in the car on the way to the gym when I'm having an "I hate everything" day - having a Bad Thoughts Journal where I can stab the pen into the pages as hard as I like and it doesn't matter and free writing until I realise the issue is something really unrelated to what I'm mad about - ripping up paper into tiny tiny bits. Works at work in the bathroom for a 5 minute time out and at home when you want to shred your bills - recognising a consistently sad or angry mood can be generated by the music I'm listening to (I have to ration Folklore and Evermore and Sour now...) - picking flowers - having plans, even if it's a month or two away just knowing when I get to leave the house next and see someone I love is SO important to me
I miss THAT you. When you started doing vlogs i stopped watching. Just searched for you again today and I love it. I was seeing Tom Segura and one of his expressions reminded me of you.
I watch this video periodically because these are legitimately helpful tips to get out of a bad mood! Craig has a good heart. Thanks for sharing these tips in such an entertaining way.
The weird part is, i watched this video and it made me feel good... The problem is, because i got that dopamine boost of feeling like I did something productive when i haven't, i don't feel like doing anything now; that being said, nice video 😂😅
I think that I have been inspired to write a book of f**ks. But then, I’ll have to be careful, because if I give it to someone, then I would have to admit that I give a f**k.
I support your right to never learn the difference between affect and effect, genuinely. But anyone who needs a tip this is how I learned Affect the A looks like an upside down V for VERB so something can affect you. E upside down means nothing so that ones the noun, it had an Effect on you.
This is just the video I needed to watch. I've been pretty stagnant lately and it feels like I just needed a little push to get out of my funk. These tips are so helpful! Thanks a million!

I haven’t played that game in 20 years and I immediately related. This is brilliant. Thank you. 💚

How to Immediately Improve Your Mood: seeing and clicking on a new WheezyWaiter video

That's just Science! 😁

Yeah. My moods generally range from 'bad' to 'worse' 😕 At best, I'm slightly energetic and productive, but that's rare
And with completely on-point comedy. This video clearly exudes the life work he has done. Love it.
These are getting increasingly more chaotic over the years and I’m here for it lol
Pure chaos 😂
I am a huge fan of:
1) opening a window
2) turn on a lamp
3) look at ducks
4) making funny faces
There is nothing I love more than a wheezy waiter video.
What about your mom ... or garlic

TLDR: In a bad mood? Do something. Seeing eagles being punched put me in a good mood.
my daughter has autism.. and when she paces all is right with the world.

Definitely, grab an apple, hangry is real.

If it were that easy for everyone, nobody would have problems.

at 9:50 I can't believe you didn't make a "GIF each other off" joke :(
I happened to be in a bad mood when I watched this and did the 10 minute rule while watching by cleaning some dishes. It really helped! Thanks!
My solution when I'm in a bad mood? Just watch any one of Craig's videos. Instant mood boost
Yes!!!!! Season 5 of Sherlock should be his only focus!!
you are very silly and you made me smile big time today so thanks for that xxx Kate

I have been pretty depressed the last three days, just you thinking about us being down meant so much to me.
As someone diagnosed with wonky mood disorder aka bipolar disorder. It’s still really helpful to watch this :)
You cant put a MIDROLL AD in you Video and think People will feel better watching your Video..... Thanks for nothing..
I wasn't in a bad mood but this video improved it 300%, been loving this channel and I'll definitely save this one for the occasional reminder.
I forgot about Science and then he popped in again at the end and I laughed out loud. Thank you for your videos. They take my mind off life's woes and my mood is improved. 😉
I love sending people stupid stuff to laugh at, or texts that I'm thinking about them from time to time. My personal favorite mood regulator
Mr. Cumberbatch, please get us season five of Sherlock. Agreed. 😂

EDIT: How did he know I was a dog?
That's easy...watch a wheezy waiter video! Exactly why I came on to RUclips this morning 😉
Dude you are funniest on youtube i swear "i should get a lawyer about it" lmao

Keep up the great work, if you call this work 🤪😅
man... you look cute on your thumbnail (and on most of the times i pause the video). #nohomo

2. Look in a mirror

"Oh it sounds so royalty free I love it"

It's called pot.
Okay i can't be the only person immediately thinking that after reading the title, right?
Watching one of your videos is definitely going to help with that! That better be on the list! 😆

"this is not about depression"
Me: Ohh damn...
"for that you should talk to a professional.."
Well you make video professionally.. That have to count.. Right?

Hah yes to season 5 Sherlock! Great video, as usual. Made me laugh. Mood improvement accomplished. Thanks!
Are you embarrassed about your twilight and 50 shades of grey book collection? Embrace it Craig, show it off, stop hiding those spines!
this video is hilarious 😂😂... so much effort in the hilarity!
I miss THAT you. When you started doing vlogs i stopped watching. Just searched for you again today and I love it. I was seeing Tom Segura and one of his expressions reminded me of you.
read sayx stories
Lol I love you, you're halerious. Oops I don't know how to spell hilarious. (Yay auto correct reminded me)
Just drink some water. Dehydration (which most of us are) will bring you down. Works to get me back in focus very quickly.
I watch this video periodically because these are legitimately helpful tips to get out of a bad mood! Craig has a good heart. Thanks for sharing these tips in such an entertaining way.
Science is creepy…
What are you trying now? Lmao thank you for all the info! Really enjoying your videos. New sub and currently binging 😂 cheers
Because when the blood stops flowing
Bad mood starts showing!
No more a smile or glowing...
And that's mindblowing!
Yasss, a new drone. I like! And by the way, you have very clean nostrils. Nice job.
Your channel is appreciated immensely.
Have you tried Emotional Freedom Tapping? 😊
Immediately turned off the movie when that guy punched the horse. As unnecessary (and triggering) as on-screen vomiting.

7:50 shoulda put wake me up before you go-go. QUADRUPLE WHAM!
I think that I have been inspired to write a book of f**ks. But then, I’ll have to be careful, because if I give it to someone, then I would have to admit that I give a f**k.
As a daily nap taker, i can confirm that I need to go take a nap.
glad i'm not the only person who physically needs a nap every day.

As a man who was formely not a man, I can confirm that transitions did really improve my mood.
haha transgender joke
that was really stupid
Damn, I really needed this today. Thank you.
Speaking of pooping, I prefer intermittent fasting because I get to poop less... Yeah.. I'm one of those~
0:00 I cannot believe the clone was stood there the whole time, completely oblivious to what's in front of me! 😆
Your best video ever. Could be it popped up right when I needed it, which could be the heavens answering me via the RUclips algorithm
I've never noticed before but your voice sounds like Kermit the Frog :) Loved these tips!
That royalty-free music fit surprisingly well with the singing! 😅
I clicked on this video because I'm in a crap mood. 3:09 actually made me laugh. Ahhhhhh, I needed this video today, thanks!
No Chyna in this video AND he is talking about divorce? Hope nothing is wrong.
Do people not belly breathe? I've always done that. I do find it's odd that my belly moves more than my chest.
Thank you! It's so Hygge! Try doing Hygge for a month and see what happens :D
"and in person"
Is "in person" considered to be not in person and in fact in other parts of the country or the world now?
How To Improve Your Mood: watch WheezyWaiter videos.

The #1 way to feel better quickly is to watch Wheezy Waiter. It’s science
This video automatically improves your mood! 😆
Good to meet sci-clone! Hoping he sticks around, and doesn't wind up near any alligator pits.
that enema joke was great. it inspired me for a Vogon poetry even:
to raise your mood, drink from a moo,
then go to cinema, right after enema
YES! with the Sherlock, Mr. Cumberbatch.
This is just the video I needed to watch. I've been pretty stagnant lately and it feels like I just needed a little push to get out of my funk. These tips are so helpful! Thanks a million!
