If you want to go from blah to fabulous or depressed to ecstatic, you don’t need a good gossip session or a new crush, you just need to play mood makeover games! Changing your mood is a matter of focus and the ability to move beyond the emotions you’re bogged down in. If you want to step out of negative and switch your mood entirely, you must:
1. Figure out what mood you’re in and why. If you feel down in the dumps and don’t know why, you’ll probably have a hard time shaking it off.
2. Think of a way to resolve the problem for now. This might be a real answer like talking to your teacher about a grade or it might be a patch such as resolving to study more in the future.
3. Put the incident behind you. Once you’re free and clear of the past, you can move forward. This is the most challenging step as we tend to dwell on things even once they are resolved.
4. Choose your new mood and picture yourself there. If you want to be happy and excited, stop for a minute and remember what that feels like. Then start acting that way. At first it will feel false, but soon you’ll be acting happy and realize that you actually are feeling pretty good about yourself.
