Perhaps you had a fight with your best friend, or something went wrong at school or at work, or maybe the weather is just affecting your mood. We all go through times when what's going on in our lives doesn't make us feel happy, so the first thing you need to remember is that you're not alone. Regardless of the situation, you can find both short-term and long-term solutions to help you get out of this state and move on.
Steps
Coping with bad conditions in the moment
- If you feel like you can't control when or how often you cry, or if your tears are preventing you from doing your job or doing household chores, this is an indicator of a more serious problem: depression or an anxiety disorder. Schedule an appointment with a mental health counselor or psychotherapist who can teach you ways to control tears that are interfering with your daily functioning.
-
Stop for a few minutes and take a series of deep breaths. Something as simple as taking a deep breath can help you feel better. Deep breathing saturates the entire body with oxygen, during periods of stress allowing muscles to relax and helping to reduce blood pressure. Deep breathing also allows you to engage your parasympathetic system. nervous system which leads to a state of rest. Just the act of focusing on your breathing and taking your mind off a stressful situation can help you feel better.
Start keeping a journal. The description of emotional experiences provides a kind of outlet for these emotions, as well as an opportunity to work through the circumstances that caused them on a rational level. Clarifying the situation is one of the additional components of reducing the level of emotional pain. In fact, research has shown that journaling restores a sense of well-being and brings comfort during emotional stress. In addition, journaling is believed to have a positive effect on the immune system.
Take up a creative hobby. Creative expression has a long history and strong relationship with emotions in many cultures where music, dance and stories have been used to promote healing emotional expression. Whether you're a creator or a connoisseur, try to use your hobby as a channel for transforming negative and painful emotions into something creative.
Develop your personal support system. Numerous studies have proven the benefits of a support system from loved ones: family and friends - who you can turn to during a difficult period in life. Social support provides a sense of belonging and security without leaving a person alone with their emotional pain, and this also leads to increased self-esteem. Try to talk to a trusted friend or visit a family member who you can confide in about your painful and desperate emotions.
Reward yourself. During times of emotional chaos, it can be helpful to treat yourself to something special. It can be anything that makes you happy. Get a massage, visit an amusement park, buy a new pair of shoes, cook your favorite dessert, go to the movies, or any other of your favorite activities. Take some time for yourself and treat yourself.
- Do not forget to treat this point with full responsibility. You should not spend too much time on entertainment or wait until negative emotions are added to worries about the spent budget.
-
Take a break and laugh. Laughter is the best medicine, as it does everything at once: it helps relax muscles, reduces stress levels throughout the body, and lifts your mood. It is believed that laughter can lift the mood during periods of depression and anxiety. Let yourself laugh by remembering a funny situation, calling your funniest friend, or simply watching a funny video online. Use whatever you can get your hands on to distract yourself and laugh.
Give yourself a break. Five-minute walk or light morning work-out can help you reduce painful levels of emotional energy. You may not be a yoga master or even a fan, but basic stretching exercises contribute to the appearance of positive emotions. Stretching exercises are believed to help release negative energy associated with stress, anxiety, depression and so on.
Avoid alcohol and drugs. While alcohol and drugs can provide an immediate calming effect during times of stress, experts agree that the short-term relief is not worth the long-term risks of using these substances. Chronic stress and other traumatic emotions are one of the leading risk factors in the development of substance abuse problems. While all other recommendations from this article are, in essence, tools for overcoming negative feelings, drugs and alcohol create a vicious circle of dependence on a substance that allows you to feel better in the moment.
- If you find yourself continually turning to drugs and/or alcohol to cope with emotional pain, seek professional advice.
-
Donate your time to something you are passionate about and believe in. The feeling of satisfaction from your contribution can significantly improve your self-esteem. Try becoming a volunteer at charitable organization, helping people who find themselves in difficult situation, help feed the homeless, or find another topic that piques your interest and desire to participate.
Don't forget the broader perspective. One of the most difficult aspects of maintaining a healthy emotional state is to constantly remember that difficult situations creating emotional chaos is a natural part of life, that we grow and develop through such situations, and that overcoming such problems is a reason to be proud of ourselves. Remember that you have the ability to address the source of your burnout, and what is most important is how you deal with your emotions and how quickly you learn to control them so you can continue to function in your daily life.
Seek advice from a psychologist or psychiatrist. If, despite your best efforts to cope, you are still overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, despair or depression, make an appointment with a psychologist or therapist. A professional will help you choose the right tool in order to cope with the situation affecting you. A professional can also prescribe appropriate medications, provide you with contacts for support groups, or recommend other resources that you may not be able to find out on your own.
Have a cry. Tears caused by strong emotions give the body a signal to produce endorphins, or “happiness hormones,” which return peace of mind and a feeling of well-being. Tears not only help the body rid itself of stress hormones, but also ultimately bring peace of mind, since after a good cry the level of heartbeat and breathing is restored. Healthy crying is crying that allows you to release stress and accumulated negative emotions and does not negatively affect your life.
Warnings
- If you are having thoughts of harming yourself, seek medical attention immediately.
- If you find yourself increasingly turning to alcohol or drugs for comfort, seek professional help before the habit becomes a serious problem.

Sometimes you just wake up and realize that you are “on the wrong foot.” And there seem to be no objective reasons, but the mood has been ruined since the morning. And sometimes it happens that the reasons are beyond the roof. And you don’t really want to spend the day in a bad mood! Especially if your job requires you to smile or be welcoming. What a job! It will also not be very pleasant for your loved ones to contemplate your sad face all day. What to do? How can you cheer up quickly and for a long time?
8 effective ways how to cheer up
Usually in the morning we don’t have much time, so we will try to resolve the issue quickly.
1. Get rid of the cause of your bad mood. If you know exactly what it is and the cause can be eliminated, get rid of it now. Raise your mood and solve the problem.
2. If the problem is unsolvable, or it takes time, take a philosophical approach to the situation. It still can't be solved now. Give yourself the word to “think about it tomorrow.” Scarlett O'Hara is a wise woman;) Ideally, try to see the benefit for yourself in the current situation. As they say, “no matter what is done...” Thinking and making decisions will not take much time.
3. If “auto-training” doesn’t help, let’s move on to more “material” ways to lift your mood. Eat a banana or chocolate. It has already been proven that the substances contained in these delicacies contribute to the production of happiness hormones - serotonin and endorphin. In general, in a situation with a bad mood, sweets play an important role. The most effective and quick way improve moral well-being.
4. Watch your figure and don’t like to “seize” problems? Then movement is your choice! As with eating sweets, playing sports (or dancing, walking, and brisk walking) increases the level of “happy hormones” in the blood. If you have time to exercise, do it. Or replace it with a walk - go to work earlier and walk a couple of stops through the park.
5. Shopping. Oh yes! =) But what kind of shopping is it like in the morning? Especially before work. But no one bothers you to go out early and make a long-planned purchase that you have been putting off. You will please yourself and get the job done.
6. The stupidest, it seems to me, but, nevertheless, effective way(especially within a limited time) improve your mood a little - smile at yourself in the mirror. Somewhere in the subconscious, the brain will decide that we are having fun (let’s smile!), and “turn on” the good mood mode =)
7. If you have a pet- spend 5-10 minutes playing with him. Usually, in the morning bustle, everyone forgets about the fluffy ball, but cats and dogs are the cutest creatures in the world, just a glance at which can lift your spirits. And if you squeeze...... ;)
8. While finishing your cup of morning drink, try to remember all the good events and moments that happened to you in Lately. You will smile - I guarantee! ;)

Have you ever been in a terrible mood? So unbearable that life is not sweet? We are sure that this does not happen rarely. Now imagine what it’s like for your friends when they’re in a bad mood! If you no longer have the strength to look at their sour faces, proceed to urgent resuscitation of joy, and we will share our secrets of how to cheer you up. Follow these rules - and you will receive the title of the most best friend, but first of all, you need to acquire the skill of managing your condition yourself.
How to cheer yourself upBefore you try to help someone, learn to help yourself. It is impossible to give a person joy when you yourself do not possess it and cannot feel it at any moment. Getting a good mood from within yourself is the highest skill, as it presupposes the ability to rejoice without an obvious reason.
The joy is in you
In fact, if you don’t know how to see the good around you and be grateful for what you have, then your mood will be at zero all the time. The property of the human brain is such that it is configured to focus on shortcomings and be dissatisfied all the time. Such organization of the mind provides certain benefits, as it moves you to new heights, forces you to achieve the best, and does not allow you to stand still, but excessive withdrawal into dissatisfaction has taught people not to notice the joys of everyday life.
How to cheer up: exercise “Comparison”
To teach your brain and the brains of those around you to see life more positively, we suggest you try one exercise. The essence of it is to first write on a piece of paper what is happening to you today:
- Where am I?
- What am I doing now?
- What bad happened today?
- What good happened today?
- Am I happy with what I see around me now?
After this, think about those who now live in hot spots on the planet. Someone's whole house was flooded, he was evacuated with his entire family and forced to live in a homeless shelter. Someone's whole family was killed by a bomb, and he himself was left without legs. And in another place the mother does not know what to feed her children, and is now crying from powerlessness, and she has no hope. But here is a five-year-old child crawling over piles of corpses and calling for his mother. Now take your sheet and write again the answers to the questions that were at the beginning. Is your life really that bad, or is it just a mind game?
So, now that you have learned how to become a master of managing your condition, let's figure out what to do when your friends feel bad. The first rule of how to improve your mood says that you should not ask your friends why they are in a low mood. You won't bring relief, but you can increase the pain. Your task is to distract you from painful thoughts. Girls are positively influenced by unexpected surprises: for example, you appear with an armful of wildflowers and open all the windows wide to let in as many as possible more sun and air into the room!
How to cheer up with food
Everyone knows that women tend to eat away stress with treats. We won’t say that we welcome this method, but sometimes it is the only cure for the blues. Go with a friend to your favorite cafe, eat cakes with tea or hot chocolate together, then take a walk around beautiful places in the city or even take a night walk under the peacefully glowing lanterns.
Take the disk from humorous program or comedy, go to a club, sauna or massage. If you are not in the city right now, then you can support your friend with a simple SMS or a picture in in social networks. Let her know that you are nearby and thinking about her - this alone may make her feel better.
Male friends are people too, and they can suffer no less. But it can be more difficult to reach them, since the guys are used to experiencing everything within themselves. However, the solution to the problem is the same as with friends. You can try all of the above points! Especially a bouquet of flowers should cause a storm of emotions. In general, the main thing in raising your mood is to do everything cheerfully and sincerely, then any of your tricks will be perceived without offense and will have the desired effect. Be happy and don’t leave your friends alone with their sorrows!
