Bad Moods.
Bad moods damage your motivation to succeed in school or other activities. They make you more prone to negative thinking, and cause distraction, and often you trigger bad moods in other people. Bad moods emerge as bad temper, unhappiness, lethargy and sluggishness.  If you are in a good mood, then even dull work can be enjoyable.  Your mood is completely under your control - bad moods are an indulgence you cannot afford. You can improve your mood in the following ways:

1. Through positive thinking and suggestion - say to yourself  "I feel good" or "I am going to do the right thing."  This really does help.

2. By treating each element of your life individually - when you make a mistake, refocus and concentrate on the next separate element. Treating a your life like this, ensures that a bad day does not effect on futue days.

3. By using imagery - imagine a beautiful scene or a time when you were performing very well and feeling good. Alternatively, imagine feeling good directly.

4. By reviewing your goals to remotivate yourself.

5. By smiling! - Forcing a smile onto your face for more than just a few seconds always seems to lift a bad mood. Try it - it really does work
