How to Brighten a “Blah” Day
Feeling meh? We've got you covered.
Between good and bad days, many of us find ourselves navigating the “blah”—those periods when we feel listless, low-energy, and generally dissatisfied. It can make a world of difference to develop a set of psychology-based strategies that will support you in improving your mood on days like this, especially in the moments when you might even struggle to articulate exactly what has got you down. Read on for tips from behavioral science experts that should help you get through your “blah” days—and maybe even find enjoyment in them.
Get Out in Nature
One simple, accessible way to spruce up your mood? Get outside. You don’t need to hike a mountain or set up camp overnight: research tells us that spending less than an hour of your day outdoors can play a significant role in keeping stress in check. “Even 20 or 30 minutes in nature lowers cortisol and can help foster in people a sense of awe—a mental state that leads to gratitude and decreases stress,” says James Jackson, research professor of Medicine and Psychiatry at Vanderbilt University.

Keep a Gratitude Journal
For many of us, journaling might feel like a chore—but you don’t need to churn out pages upon pages of self-reflections in order to reap its benefits. Oftentimes, we get clouded in mental funks because we are battling deep feelings of negativity. Psychologists have found that gratitude journaling, the practice of regularly writing down things you’re thankful for, can boost your mental health and mitigate symptoms of depression and anxiety. “Take five or 10 minutes and jot down two or three things you're grateful for,” Jackson suggests. “Then, take a moment or two and reflect and meditate on these.”

Embrace Your Creativity
“When we are in a negative space, the parts of our brain that allow for imagination, play, and spontaneity may need a jumpstart,” says Kait Rosiere, clinical psychologist and founder of Bloom Psychological Services. It’s OK if you don’t fancy yourself an artist—just the act of partaking in a creative hobby can help draw you out of an uninspired mindset. Plus, it gives you something fun to do! This can be as simple as doodling a picture, cooking a new recipe, or dancing around your living room.

This can be as simple as doodling a picture, cooking a new recipe, or dancing around your living room.
Exercise
Speaking of dancing, movement is key to nurturing the neurochemicals that keep our moods in check. “Exercise increases production of serotonin and dopamine, mood-regulating chemicals that help people feel grounded and calm,” Jackson says. No need to run a marathon or break a sweat at the gym—try gentle stretches, a walk around the park, or even a fun group exercise class. “While exercise is almost always good for a bad mood, it is especially helpful when it is done with someone else or with a group of people,” he adds.

Find the "Glimmers" in Your Day
Practicing mindfulness—the practice of intentionally grounding yourself in your current space, observing your surroundings with intention and sans judgment—is a wellness tool that psychologists tout often, and for good reason. To uphold the pillars of mindfulness when you’re aiming to improve your attitude, Rosiere recommends seeking out what she calls “glimmers” in the present moment.
“Glimmers are the opposite of triggers—they're small, otherwise ordinary moments that can feel magical if you just give them a chance,” she says. “When the light shining through the window bends just right and scatters a rainbow across the floor. Savoring that first bite of a delicious sandwich. Wearing your favorite color.” These might sound like trivial actions, but focusing on integrating them into your day can set you on a path toward more positive thinking—similar to gratitude journaling.

Connect With Others
Sometimes, we get bogged down in our own heads because we aren’t interacting enough with our loved ones. “Studies show that connecting with others—especially if your interaction is meaningful—reliably boosts your mood,” Jackson says. Call a friend to catch up, strike up a conversation with your neighbor, or make plans to meet up with a colleague after work.
In the same vein, psychologists find that making an effort to treat others with kindness can actually help us feel better ourselves. “Help others feel how you want to feel,” Rosiere says. Your act of compassion can be as small as complimenting a stranger’s shoes, or thanking a cashier with their name as you check out at the supermarket. “These small, intentional choices can make dramatic shifts in your mood and energy.”

People are often impatient because they are anxious or scared. They are in a situation where they can't control what happens next. It's really hard to be patient when you feel this way. Many people understand this feeling.
Margaret says it's especially hard to find "grace" (peace or calm) when you're frightened while waiting.
She also says that being patient is "unfashionable" these days. Our culture teaches us that:
A study from 2020 by Ohio University found something interesting: people would rather have something now than wait for a bigger reward. And the longer you have to wait for something, the less important that reward seems.
In the study, people could pick between:
She said: "We saw that people always cared about time over money. They didn't always choose more money, because even a few seconds felt like too long to wait. So, delays matter – even seconds matter to people. In general, people are just very impatient."

to separate - разделять, отделять

specific research - конкретное исследование
Are we just born impatient? Dr. Sarah Schnitker, a professor, says that how patient we are comes from both our genes and what happens around us.
She explains: "When we are very young, we haven't lived much. Being patient at that young age does show that some of it is from our genes. But how we are raised, or our environment, also plays a part."
"By the time we are teenagers or adults, it's really hard to separate what comes from our genes and what comes from our environment. Instead, we can think about how the two work together."
She also adds that there isn't much specific research on the genes for patience. But she and her team do have studies on ways to help people become more patient in a short time. This research shows that we can become more patient if we try to practice it.

Traveling the World
Pool Day & Beach Fun!
Hi everyone,
Last week I had an amazing time! I went to both a swimming pool and the beach. It was so much fun, and I learned a few things about what to bring.
First, I went to the pool. It was a hot day, so the cool water was perfect! I brought my big, fluffy towel to dry off after swimming. The pool also had sunbeds, which were really comfortable for relaxing. I made sure to put on lots of sunscreen before going in the water, because the sun was very strong. I also wore my swimming costume, of course! Some people were wearing swimming caps, but I didn't have one. Next time, I think I will bring goggles so I can see underwater better. I had a great time playing in the water with my friends.
A few days later, we went to the beach! The sea was beautiful and blue. We brought our beach towels to lie on the sand. My friend also brought a beach umbrella to give us some shade, which was very important. We put on even more sunscreen at the beach because the sun is even stronger there! I wore my swimming costume again and also a hat to protect my face.
We built sandcastles and collected seashells. The water was a little bit cold, but I still went for a swim. It was so refreshing! We also brought a cooler with drinks and snacks, because all that swimming makes you hungry!
For both the pool and the beach, it's really important to be prepared. Sunscreen is a must! A towel is essential, and sunbeds or beach towels make relaxing much nicer. If you go to the beach, an umbrella is a good idea. And don't forget your swimming costume! I learned that it's also a good idea to bring a hat and sunglasses to protect yourself from the sun. I had such a fantastic time at both the pool and the beach, and I can't wait to go again!
What about you? Do you prefer the pool or the beach?
Let me know!
Bye for now.

My Suitcase is Missing

sunbathing: загорать
filled out the forms: заполнил(а) бланки/формы
essentials: предметы первой необходимости
accidentally: случайно
safe and sound: в целости и сохранности
as an apology: в качестве извинения
Oh no! My suitcase is missing! I arrived in Berlin so excited for my holiday, but at the airport, my bag wasn't on the carousel.
Panic started to set in. All my clothes, my camera, my special travel guide – everything was in there! I went to the lost and found office, and the staff were very helpful. They took my details and told me not to worry.
"Sometimes," they said, "bags just take a little detour." Detour? My suitcase was probably having its own adventure somewhere! I imagined it sunbathing in Spain or sightseeing in Paris.
I filled out the forms, feeling a bit sad, and went to my hotel. I bought a new toothbrush and a few essentials, trying to stay positive.
The next day, I got a call! They'd found my suitcase! It had accidentally been put on a flight to Munich, but it was back in Berlin, safe and sound.
I went back to the airport, and there it was! My bright red suitcase, waiting for me. I was so happy! My holiday could really begin now. And you know what? The airline even gave me a small present as an apology.
So, although my luggage had a little holiday of its own, it all ended happily!

It's Not My Order
disaster ужас
were chatting болтали
discount скидка
Oh no! What a disaster at the restaurant! My friend and I went to a new Italian place last night. We were so excited because we love pasta. I ordered the spaghetti carbonara. It sounded delicious – creamy sauce, bacon, and Parmesan cheese. My friend, Maria, wanted the lasagna. She loves anything with cheese and tomato sauce.
We waited for a long time, but that was okay. We were chatting and laughing. Finally, the food arrived. But… something was wrong. The waiter put a plate of lasagna in front of me! And Maria got the spaghetti carbonara! We looked at each other, confused. This wasn't what we ordered.
I don't like lasagna very much. And Maria doesn't like creamy sauces. We called the waiter back. We explained the problem. He was very sorry. He said, "Oh dear, I made a mistake." He took our plates back to the kitchen.
We waited a little longer, but this time, the food was correct! My spaghetti carbonara was perfect. It was hot and creamy. Maria’s lasagna looked amazing, with lots of cheese. We were both very happy. The waiter gave us a discount on our bill because of the mistake. So, in the end, it was a good dinner, even with the wrong order at the beginning! It was a funny experience, and now we have a story to tell.

Renting a Car for Your Tour
Hi everyone! I'm planning a tour and I'm thinking about renting a car. I think it would be great to have the freedom to go where I want, when I want. But I've never rented a car before, so I have some questions.
First, where is the best place to rent a car? Are there big companies or smaller, local ones? Which is better? I'm looking for a good price, of course!
Second, what kind of car should I rent? I'll be travelling with two friends. Do we need a big car for luggage, or will a smaller one be okay? What about fuel? Is petrol expensive? Maybe a smaller car is better for saving money.
Third, what documents do I need? I have my driving licence, of course. Do I need anything else? And what about insurance? Is it included in the price, or do I need to buy extra?
Finally, any tips for driving in a new country? Are there any special rules I should know? I don't want to get a ticket!
I'd be really grateful for any advice you can give me. Thanks in advance!

Rental Companies:
- Big Companies vs. Local: Big companies like Hertz, Avis often have more locations and a wider variety of cars. They might also have better customer service and simple procedures. Local companies can sometimes be cheaper, but it's important to read reviews carefully. It's a good idea to compare prices from both.
- Finding Good Prices: Use comparison websites like Kayak, Expedia, or Skyscanner to see prices from different rental companies. Booking in advance, especially outside peak season, can often save you money. Also, look for deals and discounts online.
- Size and Luggage: For three people and luggage, a compact or mid-size car should be sufficient. If you have a lot of large suitcases, consider a slightly larger car for comfort. Check the luggage capacity of the car you're considering.
- Fuel: Petrol prices vary from country to country. Research the fuel costs in your destination. Smaller cars generally use less fuel, saving you money. Consider a hybrid or electric car if it's available and suitable for your trip.
- Documents: You'll definitely need your driving license. Some countries may require an International Driving Permit (IDP), so check the regulations for your destination. You'll also need a credit card in your name to pay for the rental and the security deposit.
- Insurance: Car rental prices usually include basic insurance. Check if your travel insurance or credit card already provides some car rental coverage.

Inside the Airport
First, we found the check-in desk for my airline. I showed my passport and ticket. The lady at the desk gave me my boarding pass. Then, my dad helped me with my suitcase. We went through security. I had to take off my shoes and my jacket. It was a little bit scary, but it was okay.
Finding the Gate
After security, we looked for my gate. The gate number was on my boarding pass. There were many signs, so it was easy to find. I waited at the gate with other people who were going to Spain. I bought a magazine and some sweets.

Sri Lanka is a beautiful country with many places to see. If you like sightseeing, you will love it here. There are many famous landmarks to visit. One of them is the ancient city of Anuradhapura, which has amazing old buildings and temples.
When you are in Sri Lanka, you can go on an excursion to see these sights. It is a good idea to have a guide with you. A guide can tell you stories about the places you visit. Guides know a lot about the history and culture of Sri Lanka.

If you like animals, you might want to visit Yala National Park. You can see elephants, leopards, and many birds there. An excursion to the park is an exciting adventure.
Remember, always carry a camera to take photos of your trip. You will have many memories of your time in Sri Lanka. Enjoy your sightseeing in this wonderful country!

Pauline: Oh, it was amazing. Definitely one of my favourite here in Sri Lanka.
Mark: I'm glad you liked it. Did you get to see all the landmarks we planned out?
Pauline: Yeah, the guide was really professional and showed us everything. The temples were beautiful and the views from the top of the mountain were amazing.
Mark: Great! I'm so happy you enjoyed it. We're planning another excursion next week to visit some different landmarks. Would you like to join?
Pauline: That sounds wonderful. How are we going there this time? By bus or by foot?
Mark: It's a bit far for walking, so we'll go by bus. It'll be more comfortable and we can cover more ground that way.

Sightseeing in Istanbul
Last summer, my family and I went on an amazing excursion to Istanbul. It is a beautiful city in Turkey. We planned to see some famous landmarks and enjoy the city’s unique culture. First, we visited the Blue Mosque. It is a very famous landmark with six tall minarets and wonderful blue tiles inside. We took so many photos!
Next, we went to the Hagia Sophia. This is another remarkable landmark in Istanbul. It was first a church, then a mosque, and now it is a museum. Our guide told us a lot of interesting stories about its history. She was very friendly and her voice was easy to understand. We were really excited to learn about all the events that took place there.
During our excursion, we also visited the Grand Bazaar. It is one of the largest and oldest markets in the world. The market was full of colourful shops selling jewellery, carpets, and spices. We tried some delicious Turkish delights and bought some gifts for our friends back home.
While walking around the city, we noticed many cats everywhere. In Istanbul, cats are loved by everyone. They seemed very friendly and people take good care of them. We saw many cats resting in the sun, and they made the city feel even more charming.
Our trip to Istanbul was fantastic. We saw so many beautiful landmarks, learned a lot from our guide, and made some new furry friends. If you have a chance to visit Istanbul, I highly recommend it. It is a city full of surprises, history, and warmth.
