I decide to be happy. It's a choice. You can choose to be miserable or you can choose to be happy... It's up to you.
don't focus on negative situations. If talking about a bad situation makes you unhappy, then, change the topic and talk about something you can be happy about... you have control over your own mind... The mind is powerful and can be used for good.

I am very much in control of my mood usually, but if it is a really close friend acting this way I would show it. I am not at all moody, and when I feel these swings in the mood I immediately realize and control myself. Because once you are able to realize that you are sad, you are angry, you are excited you will automatically be able to control it. I tell myself to relax, I tell myself "Its okay, the sky is not gonna fall". Try telling this to yourself. Initially it might seem like a very stupid thing but later on you will realize how effective it is!

Hey,
Yea I can actually control my mood quite properly, I mean I can decide if I want to be in an angry or happy mood, for me it doesn't just happen. I don't really change my mood all that often, partly because my mood is always the same average type one. Make sure you have a good day, God bless and Happy Lotting!!

Hm, it depends on what "properly" means. But yes, I can if I put my mind to it. I find other ways to vent. A psychologist once told me something that helps: if you've lost self-control, that means you've given control of yourself to another.
So...next time, decide if you want to "keep" your own control or yield it up to another. Don't let that kind of irritating co-worker, etc., rent space inside your head.
