Instructions

• 1

  Consume healthy foods that are low in fat and sugar. It may seem like strange advice, but what you eat can affect your mood in drastic ways, according to CureZone.com. For example, large doses of caffeine will initially cause an increase in energy and usually create a chipper mood. Unfortunately, the caffeine fallout can be extreme, leaving you with low energy and potentially making you feel sad, angry and generally unwell.

• 2

  De-stress with the help of aromatherapy. You can do this with the help of candles, incense, aromatic oils or something as subtle as a bubble bath infused with pleasant-smelling soaps.

• 3

  Exercise daily, especially when you begin to feel upset or cranky. CureZone.com says that physical activity can relieve stress and release endorphins into your blood stream, leaving you with a positive attitude that will likely last throughout the day.
