Having one of those days or weeks when everything seems to annoy you? Even if you do nothing about it,
your bad mood will probably go away after some time. But with a little effort, you can forget it much faster,
often within a day or two.
●Walk it off
Exercise is the most popular way to remove bad mood. A person who's in a bad mood has low energy and
high tension. Taking a fast ten-minute walk, or taking some quick exercise can do wonders towards changing
that bad mood.
●Tune it out
Listening to your favorite music for a while can also make ten- sions go away quickly, because music starts
associations with past positive experiences we've had.
●Give yourself a pep talk
Stop and listen to what's on your mind. Bad moods are often started by too many negative thoughts. Write
them all down on paper, including the pessimistic messages you've been giving yourself and then give optimistic
answers.
●Avoid things that won't improve your mood
TV may not help much you need to increase your energy level and stimulate your mind. And before you
reach for that piece of cake and coffee, think about how _____ are linked. Sugar and caffeine contribute to
depressed moods while carbohydrates, such as potatoes and pasta (意大利面食), produce a calming effect in
people who have a desire for them.
