• Taking charge of your physical actions – Get moving, Exercise, Take a walk, Go for a jog. Doing this may help get rid of a terrible mood and should help you feel better.
• Taking control of your mental state – Don’t over-analyse scenarios, dwell in the past or fret about the future. Make a conscious effort to focus on positives.
• Altering the context of your environment – Shift your perspective and how you see things. Positive thinking could put you in a good mood. Be optimistic.
