There are a couple of things that might cause you to have a bad mood early in the day. You could wake up in the morning already in a bad mood, or you could have things go wrong for you early in the day. Whatever the causes of your bad mood, you need to do something to change it quickly or you'll end up having a bad day. Here are 5 simple tips you can use to get into a good mood quickly:

1. Remember your favorite past events. Think back to a time when you're absolutely happy in your life, and then just spend a few moments to immerse yourself in this memory. It'll quickly put a smile in your face.

2. Laugh. Laughing is a great way for you to get into a better mood quickly. Watch a funny movie or a stand-up comedy show. Once you start laughing, you'll feel better immediately.

3. Listen to upbeat music. Play your favorite music that has a happy and upbeat mood to it. You'll feel a lot better once the positive emotions created by the music get into your mind and body. Don't play sad or depressing songs even though they're your favorites or you'll end up in a worse mood.

4. Talk to your fun friend. Everybody has a friend who is always fun and happy. Call this friend and just have a fun and pleasant conversation with him. You don't need to pour your gut out to him. Just listen to him talk and laugh at his funny stories.

5. Move your body. Do a little exercising or dance to your favorite songs. Getting your body moving and active will put you into a good mood quickly.
