Bad moods
You know how people say if you have a positive attitude, good things will come your way or whatever? Well yeah it seems like whenever I'm in a good mood and I'm confident, I'm really happy and good things happen to me. But half the time, I'm in a really bad mood and bad things seem to happen to me. It's so annoying. I wish I could be in a good mood all the time instead being in a bad mood half the time. The littlest things put me in a bad mood, too. Like if I get a lot of homework in English class I'm pissed off for the whole day. Argggg. Is there anything I could do to, like, help me get out of a bad mood when I'm in one? I also get really mad at everyone when I'm in a bad mood too lol. Help?

Hey!
Well what youre basically asking is how to stop being pessimistic, and be optimistic instead. That is a hard question, but what you have to do is think of the positive side to everything, like you said a lot of english homework, well what would you be doing instead of english homework, sitting in front of the tv bored as hell? well now you have something to do. Thats a horrible example, but you see what I mean? You just have to take the negative and look for a better side to it. Think of other things, like that hilarious thing the guy beside you just said. Yeah ot doesnt make up for being upset about english homework, but if you try and put on a smile anyway then your mood will automatically change. Try and plan fun things to look forward to. So say when you wake up and youre like damn school today think hey well at least I'll see my crush in the hall or at least I can go to the movies afterward. Think of fun things that will be happening in class or fun days too look forward to, only three more days till Friday type thing. Get a phrase that suits you and put it in your head and repeat it everytime youre upset, like I'm a poliet positive person, who is smart and creative and doesnt have to worry about too much homework or getting up early, because she is too god for all that.
Think of things as a dull moment in your super exciting life and try and be peppy. If you dont have energy, peppyness brings out the energy. Put your hair up in pig tails and wear a bright coloured shirt. Try and have spirit when stuff is going on at school and instead of saying: "ugg I have way too much english homework tonight" when you're talking to your friends and instead say, " Tomorrows _______'s party I cant wait!" Even if you dont really care. When someone says:"I'm tried" or "this is so gay/retarded" whatever insult people use, instead say, what? this is fun you just have to be positive.
As you can see, this will switch your position, you'll go from being the person who brings people down to the person who helps people up. And try not to be sarcastic (though, I'm such a hypocrit when it comes tot hat one) and say things that keep your mind in a positive place rather than one thats sinking you down.
If you dont have stuff to look forward to, then join some clubs or volunteer, yeah its more work, but you can think hey I'm helping someone, or I'm having fun. Even if you dont think you're having fun, then you can still try right? It's pretty simple really, you just have to change how you see things. If that was too complicated let me know, and I'll give you some more ideas. I'm so peppy I'm sure I can think of something. Good luck, hope I helpped. Love ya,

i used to get in bad moods alot too but this year ive been extremely positive and thats made me ALOT ALOT happier. when little things start to bother you, just realize to yourself that LIFE GOES ON and everything happens for a reason. also it helps if you think about things you really love and are looking forward to..and generally just keep your mind off of it and surround yourself with positive things.

There are a few books you should check out. They are on DVD too if you don't really like to read. They are called "The Secret" and "What the Bleep do we Know" They are both about Quantum Physics and Creating the life that you desire through Creative Visualization. Also check out "The Power of Positive Thinking". I used to he horridly depressed. Even to the point of suicidal. I used to cut my self and everything. The fact is that evertime you experience something there are cells that are created in your body that need to be nourished and the more you nourish them the more you need. So you like me have been nourishing depression cells and you have to start making more happiness cells. You gotta take those little things and make something interesting or funny or positive out of them as hard as it may seem. The more you work on it the easier it will get and if you work hard enough eventuall you will be like me and others who get sad but don't have to wallow in it anymore. Peace and Positivity.

Well, look at it this way. If you don't get any homework, it'd be good. But then you'd end up being bored because you'd have nothing to do.
And it's a better way to improve your grade. If your grade is low or drops, it'll put you in a bad mood, so just stay positive. Don't let little things bother you, because it's gonna stress you out. Just try to relax & do some of it in class if you can, or in a study hall. That way you won't have so much to do at home.
