If you know the cause of your bad mood, address it if possible. Analyze the situation, is it really that bad? Try to distract yourself and do those things that bring you joy, pleasure. This can be reading your favorite books, magazines, watching movies, walking around your favorite places.

With a lack of vitamin D, especially in winter, the body's immune and protective functions are reduced. At the same time, people become more irritable and nervous.

Step 4
Go in for sports, fitness. Jog, exercise. Muscle activity improves mood.
Step 5
Change for a while the scope of your activity. Sometimes even the simplest work, such as washing dishes, working in the garden, or cleaning the house, can help to distract from unpleasant obsessive thoughts.

Be sure to include vitamins in your diet - eat fresh fruits and vegetables. Eat more dairy products - milk, kefir and cheese. They contain calcium, a lack of which can cause depression in women during the premenstrual period. But the consumption of coffee and strong tea will need to be limited to two cups a day. Caffeine can add vigor and energy, but only for a short time.
