Picture this-
Following yet another usual night’s sleep –a concatenation of intermittent cat-naps, laced with spurts of consciousness-, you get up in the morning feeling out of sorts, listless and edgy. You rock your brain trying to find out why, yet you find no answer, nothing comes to mind.
The situation gets more acute as your day progresses. You can’t understand why; all you know is that there isn’t anything you feel good about and you are easily irritated and emotionally vulnerable.


It may or may not surprise you to know that generally our emotional imbalance is rooted in seemingly unrelated sources, such as nutrition, rest and hydration. The absence or lack of any of these sources can trigger changes in our bodies that adversely affect our emotions.


If this is a familiar picture to you, here are three easy steps you can take to deal with the situation:

1. Take the time to have a healthy breakfast. If you are not allergic to them, incorporate fruits and nuts into your breakfast. Make sure to get your daily ration of fiber as well.

2. Turn your brain switch off: Create nighttime routines to signal to your brain that you are about to retire for the night. Try moving your TV and computer out of the bedroom. Aromatherapy can be a good idea. A nighttime bath/shower won’t hurt. The idea is to incorporate relaxation practices into your nighttime routine.

3. Hydration is one of the easiest and most important things you can do to maintain your emotional balance. Our bodies are primarily made of water; it’s only logical that the water depletion will lead to a myriad of physical and emotional inconveniences. By maintaining your body properly hydrated you can keep headaches and other aches and pains and the radiating negative disposition they bring, from happening.
