Three Ways to Manage Your Mood

1. Distance yourself from your mood.

Moods are not the core of your being. Repeat a statement like this: "This mood isn't who I am and is only something I'm experiencing."

1. Do something.

Moods have a way of paralyzing us. Acknowledge your mood, and then act anyway.

1. Practice mindfulness.

Instead of fixating on your mood, use your senses to pull yourself out of your head, out of your funk, and into the present moment.
