Banish a Bad Mood in 15 Minutes

Here's an article I found. This can be extremely useful...

step one - decode your mood, find out what the problem really is by asking these questions:
  • What's really bugging me?
  • Am I avoiding something?
  • Can it be more than one thing?
step two - calm down, take a few deep breaths and try one or more of the following to get your emotions under control:
  • Focus on breathing
  • Find a quiet place
  • Distract yourself
  • Get some exercise
  • Blow off some steam
step three - create a strategy by doing these three activities in order to try to solve the situation at hand:
  • Talk to a problem solver
  • Make a list
  • Visualize your ideal (picture what you want for yourself in that moment!)
