I try to find things that make me smile. They say smiling makes you happy because we smile when we are happy. Kind of circular logic but it makes sense.
Smiling, sleep, gratitude, helping others and exercise are supposed to scientifically improve our mood.

Last night, I was looking for a pick me up, so I went walking around my neighborhood with my camera app open, and looked for photos. It was relaxing, put me in a good mood, and placed me squarely in the present. It helps me see even familiar places in a new and interesting way, and I really pay attention to what is going on.
I also knew a guy who would always say "Smile until you feel happy." I took him for a sap, albeit a lovable one, but then I read there is actually science behind this.

CPT (Join to see). First I ask God for help. He is always a present help in time of need. I frequently ask God to "transform me by renewing of my mind" when I am dealing with troubling thought. When I am desperate I ask Him for the helmet of salvation to protect my mind.
My mood is largely a function of my mind. Since God designed me He knows how best to change my mood.
1. Music is a way anybody who can hear can use to change their mood. I enjoy blues, be-bop and bop jazz, rock, folk rock, southern rock and reggae at times. Each genre of music has range of tempos within and there are examples in each which can stir up passions and others which help us to be more introspective, etc.
2. Communicating with family and friends can improve mood
3. Artwork and photographs can improve mood.
4. Reading a good book can improve mood.
5. Playing with your children or grandchildren, hearing the sound of childlike joy can each improve mood.

CPT (Join to see) - That's why I included "hearing the sound of childlike joy can each improve mood."
When I was shoveling snow during the 2016 blizzard I could hear children joyfully playing in the snow. They weren't my own; but, their playful laughter is contagious.
