Everyone has periods in their lives when everything seems very hard, when there’s nobody to talk to and the mood is just getting worse and worse. But why sit and think how pathetic you are? There are some things that may help you lift up your mood. If it fails you, at least while doing these things you won’t have time to think of your problems. You win anyway! 

    The first thing you should try is socializingand thinking positively. It’s very hard, because usually when we feel depressed we lock ourselves at home and try to think about all the bad character issues we have. But if you’ll try to force yourself and call a friend for a cup of coffee, the chances for changing your mood into better are very good. Just try to avoid bad thoughts. Instead, try to think only about the bright side of your life. Don’t forget: We are what we think we are. 

    You should also try doing something only for yourself, something totally selfish. This could be something you wanted for a long time: maybe a short trip, a coat, a ring or anything that could lift up your mood. This doesn’t have to be extravagant nor costly. The point of all this is being good to yourself. 

    Not only giving presents to yourself can lift up your mood. Buying things to others may be a perfect way to feel happy. Think of your friends, family, relatives or even local charities
，choose one person and give him a gift. It doesn’t have to be something expensive nor big. It may be just a little toy to your poor neighbor’s child. Making another person feel happy will make you feel good in your heart and mind. 

    Renting a good or happy film is always a good idea. Laughter is a very good panacea for all kinds of illness! 

    Meeting a positive person should be very useful. Just try to keep your problems off the conversation. The idea here is to get out of your shell and have some interaction. Get involved with someone else and your mind will take a turn as well. 

    Most bad moods and mental attitudes are the result of something that had happened to us in the PAST. It is vital to your mind, soul, body and your life on the whole that you stay in the PRESENT with all your thoughts and feelings. Try to concentrate onthe present and future to make your life better in every possible way. 

    Taking a walk in a crowded place is also one of the ways out. Seeing other people, understanding that each of them also has days like this should force you to do something that would change the situation. 

    If you have too much time—volunteer it. We usually think that the problems we have are huge, although if you’ll try to go to hospital，you’ll see that there are a lot of people who have more severeproblems. Moreover， you’ll see that people are still working, smiling, and laughing. This kind of work will definitely help you understand that your problems are very small and maybe even funny. 

    Try to meditate while listening to relaxation music. It helps to concentrate your mind and relax your body. 

    Don’t forget to be creative! Because creating things alters our mood. Creating doesn’t include only painting or playing an instrument, it also includes cooking, sewing, writing
， photographing and many other activities. While concentrating on creating you will forget how you have been feeling. 

    All you have to do is to take control of your emotions and make them positive in spite of letting them control you. Making yourself feel better isn’t that hard, it’s hard only to start doing something that would lift up your mood.
　　 
    每一個人在其生活當中，都有這樣的一個時期：yiqieshidoushinamebushunxin

，不bu要yao忘wang了le：我們是我們所想象成的那樣。 

    你應該做一些專門為你自己做的事，完全是為你自己的。這可能是你一段時間以來你所想要的東西：可能是短途旅行、一件衣服
、一個戒指或者是任何能改善你心緒的東西。這不必是非常奢侈的，也不必是非常昂貴的，隻要它們有對你有好處的一麵。 

    買禮物給自己不僅僅能改善你的心緒，買東西給別人也是一個使你感到高興的極好方法。想想你的朋友、家庭、qinqi，shenzhidangdidecishanjigou，xuanzeyigerenbinggeitamailiwu。zhebubishishenmeangguidehuodadedongxi。zheyekenengshigeijiatingpinkundelinjudexiaohaimaideyigexiaowanju。shitarengaoxingyenengkuaileziji。 

    租一部好的或搞笑的電影也是一個好注意
，笑能治百病。 

    與一個積極的人交流也是有用的
，在談話中避開你的問題。這個理念就是：走出你自己的圈子並與他人多些交流。多與他人在一起，你的觀點和想法也會轉變的。 

    大多數不好的心緒和心理狀態是過去的事情發生的結果。總體上，你認識到你所有的想法和情感是生活在現在，這對你的心理、靈魂、身體和你生命是非常重要的。把你的精力放在現在和未來吧
，用各種方法使你的生活變得更美好。 

    在擁擠的人群中散步也是一種好的方法。看看別人，想想他們也有與你類似的時期
，那麼，你就應該做一些能改變情形的事。 

    如(ru)果(guo)你(ni)有(you)很(hen)多(duo)的(de)時(shi)間(jian)，去(qu)做(zuo)誌(zhi)願(yuan)者(zhe)吧(ba)。我(wo)們(men)通(tong)常(chang)認(ren)為(wei)我(wo)們(men)的(de)問(wen)題(ti)是(shi)非(fei)常(chang)巨(ju)大(da)的(de)，一(yi)旦(dan)你(ni)去(qu)了(le)醫(yi)院(yuan)
，你(ni)將(jiang)會(hui)看(kan)到(dao)這(zhe)兒(er)有(you)許(xu)多(duo)的(de)人(ren)，他(ta)們(men)的(de)問(wen)題(ti)更(geng)嚴(yan)重(zhong)。然(ran)而(er)，這(zhe)些(xie)人(ren)仍(reng)然(ran)在(zai)工(gong)作(zuo)

、在開心地笑。你將會認識到你的問題是多麼渺小和多麼可笑。 

    當你在聽音樂的時候
，試圖思考一些問題，這有助於你集中精神和放鬆身體。
 
    不要忘了創意！因為創造一些東西也能改變我們的心緒


，創造不僅僅包括繪畫和演奏樂器
，它還包括做飯、縫紉、寫作、攝影和其他的一些活動。當我們集中精力創造時，我們就會忘掉我們曾經的情感。

    所有我們必須要做的就是：控製我們的情緒並使它們積極起來，而不是讓它們來控製你；使你感覺更好並不難，難的是你開始能做些什麼事來改善你的心緒。
