I believe the one thing we all owe ourselves as we navigate our way through life is happiness, it is the ultimate goal. Think about it, absolutely everything we do is geared towards either an instant, or protracted elevation of our mood. Sometimes, the pressures of life do throw a monkey wrench in our gears of bliss however, and we do require a few tricks up our sleeves to ensure we don't spend too much time marinating in these pesky moments.
One thing that would elevate your mood is reflection on the good things in your life, no matter how bad things get, there is always something we take for granted and forget to be grateful for, take stock of these things and smile about it, while giving yourself the required boost to tackle whatever it is that may be getting you down. Attract some good karma while you are out and about, spare some change for those that need it, or grab an extra cup of tea for that person living on the streets, your act of kindness and compassion will have an effect on your mood as well as the recipient's.
Learn and regularly practise breathing exercises, these have been proven to help reduce stress and anxiety. A quick online search will provide some very effective methods that can be useful when you find a few moments of quiet to gather your thoughts and clear your mind of clutter. Listening to some soothing music can also help elevate mood. I believe the definition of a truly successful life is one where very little time is spent being sad or allowing negative energy to have more than a fleeting moment in it. Think about it.
