Steps to get in a better mood:
1. Realize that what you're saying/doing is negative. STOP IMMEDIATELY. (this part is difficult)
2. Listen to happy music (I choose classical, and then the soundtrack to Amelie)
3. Figure out what might have caused bad mood. Learn and change it or change how you're perceiving it.
(still not determined, skip ahead)
4. Go for a walk. It is proven that exercise is not only good for you, but can improve your mood.
5. Do something you enjoy. And if possible, make it 'happy'. I chose to draw, and instead of drawing a sad bear, I drew a happy bear.
6. Do something productive. I figured out what I was going to do for mothers day. I figured out some more invitation paper we need and also ordered a bunch of tulle circles for the wedding.
7. Have some 'alone' time or 'friends' time. You'll know which you need, depending on your personality. In my case, sometimes its just best if I have some quiet time. If you need a friend though, make sure that you don't project your bad mood on them.
