7 Essentials of The Mood Makeover Method™
As a wellness coach, you’re always looking for methods that can create deep, lasting transformations for your clients. The Mood Makeover Method is designed to fit seamlessly into a busy lifestyle while promoting emotional and mental clarity. Here are the 7 Essentials of this method that you can implement with your clients to facilitate powerful shifts in their daily lives:
Incorporating high-quality essential oils, like citrus or mint oils, helps to open the mind and promote emotional release. Oils such as bergamot, sweet orange, and peppermint are fantastic choices to elevate mood and start the day with clarity.
Encourage your clients to inhale or diffuse these oils for 2 minutes daily. This not only supports mental clarity but also opens up energetic pathways, setting a positive tone for the day.
Simple breathwork exercises, paired with essential oils, help to calm the mind, reduce anxiety, and increase mindfulness.
A 1-minute practice of deep, slow breaths, holding at the top, and gently releasing, creates a sense of grounding and focus. This can be especially beneficial for clients dealing with stress or respiratory issues.
A quick 1-minute “brain dump” allows clients to release cluttered thoughts and emotions.
This practice encourages your clients to put whatever is on their minds down on paper, helping them clear mental space without overthinking or judgment.
Structured journaling allows clients to focus on specific concerns, joys, or challenges.
Spending 2 minutes writing coherent thoughts after the brain dump gives your clients a safe outlet for exploring what’s weighing on their minds. It fosters self-reflection and emotional release, guiding them to deeper self-awareness.
Clients spend 5 minutes engaging with inspirational content like poetry, scripture, or motivational podcasts, followed by 5 minutes of focused meditation.
This practice helps your clients absorb positive messages, deepen emotional insights, and integrate these feelings into their daily lives. It encourages reflection and allows mental nourishment to fully take root.
Movement, particularly dancing, is an excellent way to release tension and spark joy.
Encourage your clients to dance for 1 minute in a fun, carefree way. It shifts stagnant energy and promotes laughter and self-acceptance, leading to an elevated mood and a stronger connection to their body.
Extending the body’s natural fast after sleep, combined with adequate hydration, enhances mental clarity and physical well-being.
If medically appropriate, guiding clients to extend their fast after waking and hydrate with herbal teas can give the body more time to rest and digest the emotional work done through the previous steps.
