       How to beat a bad mood

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 awary 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 bad-mood buster.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 tensions 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; the pessimistic（悲观的）messages you’ve been giving yourself and then give optimistic answers.

??Reduce your stress

close your eyes and picture a favorite place, such as the beach..Another simple way to distress is to make a to-do list.One reason for being in a bad mood is feeling you have mo options（选择权）.

??Avoid thing that won’t improve your mood

TV may not help much: You need to increase your energy level and stimulate your mind—something that the tv show “neighbors” won’t do.

A boy was born to couple after eleven years of marriage. They were a loving couple and the boy was the apple of their eyes. When the boy saw around two years old, the husband saw a medicine bottle open. He was late for work so he asked the wife to cap the bottle and put it in the cupboard. The mother, preoccupied in the kitchen, totally forgot the matter.

The boy saw the bottle and playfully went to it and, fascinated with its color, drank it all. It happened to be a poisonous medicine meant for adults in small dosages(剂量). When the child fell down, the mother hurried him to the hospital, where he died. The mother was unconscious. She was terrified how to face her husband.

When the distraught (心烦意乱的)father came to the hospital and saw the dead child, he looked at his wife and uttered just four words.

What do you think those four words were? The husband just said, "I love you, darling".

The husband's totally unexpected reaction is proactive(积极主动的) behavior. The child is dead. He can never be brought back to life. There is no point in finding fault with the mother. Besides, if only he have taken time to put the bottle away, this would not have happened. No point in attaching blame. She had also lost her only child. What she needed at that moment was consolation and sympathy from the husband. That is what he gave her.

Sometimes we spend time asking who is responsible or who's to blame, whether in a relationship, in a job or with the people we know and miss out on the warmth in human relationships we could receive by giving each other support. After all, shouldn't forgiving someone we love be the easiest thing in the world to do? Treasure what you have. Don't multiply pain, anguish and suffering by holding onto forgiveness.

If everyone could look at life with this kind of perspective, there would be fewer problems in the world.

Take off all your envies, jealousies, unwillingness to forgive, selfishness, and fears and you will find things are actually not as difficult as you think.
