- Learn how to change your mood. At a certain point, you'll want to shift from a negative mood into a positive one. Otherwise your thinking may get stuck on how bad things are, and that can drag you down into feeling worse. Try doing things that make you happy, even if you don't feel like it at the time. For example, you might not be in the mood to go out after a breakup, but going for a walk or watching a funny movie with friends can lift you out of that negative space.
Smiling is contagious. We all have our own battles to fight. Each one of us! And sometimes all a person needs is a smile to reassure them that everything will be OKAY (because it will be). Maybe one smile can reassure that girl who sits beside you in the class, that someone sees her - that someone actually cares. Maybe one smile to a stranger you walk by in town today is all it will take to turn that rainy cloud hanging over him into a bright shining sun.
