keep LOL-ing,LMAO and ROFL . cheesy
On a serious note,First be very well assured that its perfectely natural for you to be low some days,Life itself is an emotional roller coaster.Spend time with people you love,people that make u smile,positive people.You might want to change ur enviroment,engage in a hobby or something u have been dying to do,go on holidays or take a break from work/everyday routine.start a dancing class,learn how to play a musical instrument,sing . . . .just be engaged physically and emotionally,DONT STAY IDLE.

welcome to life,
dont worry, its only gonna get worse, smile,  just kidding grin but on a more
serious note, Just say screw it, Don't waste time being sad over small inconsequential things that,
when you think about it, don't matter at all. thats life sad happy sad happy till death, we gotta get used
to it. so in short suck it up.

Pray and listen to some nice music that will lift your spirit up
Have people around you.
Think about whatever made u to be in such mood and find a way to deal with it.
Good luck.

Note: More people are moody and stressed during the festivity period cos of:
1. Dont have their family around them
2. It is time to evaluate how the year has gone
3. Not financially buoyant

However, please take it easy and it is just a phase.

Do something fun that you might not usually do. Do something nice for someone. Focus on you for a while. Focus on positive things. Keep in mind that no matter how things are now that it will change so focus on how good you will feel when you don't feel this way anymore. It is well.

I agree that prayer is the key . . . . . i just think singing and dancing is great too, cos good music is one invitation that God can not refuse.

Depends. . . .
If its just one of those bad days, I'd take my ipod and take a long walk and thats about it.
If you got dumped or disappointed. . . .Which i think its the case here.

Then you dont have to do anything, forget about all em lecturers telling you to sing or rap or jump
None of em work. . . .It heals naturally with time. . .Leaving you with that nasty scar they called 'Past'
Which unfortunately, will always come back to hunt you. . , . . .Life isn't fair hommie.

listen to good  music. i.e inspirational ones or something funky to wakeup the inner child in you

take a walk

watch some very funny movie

do something good for someone(or say something nice  to them) often a genuine smile from others alone can lift up our spirit. dont underestimate the
power of a smile

exercise. it helps a lot.

Truely music do help especially inspirational music, in my own case as a xtian i love some Don Moen's tracks but what amazes me is that most British people believes that once you are singing you must be very happy, I have take time to explain the reason behind my singing to some of my work colleagues who just believe I'm always an happy man despite the fact that on many of those occasions i was actualy feeling very low, on some occasions I have asked them to listen to the lyrics of the music before concluding that I'm happy,

Pappyman, i pray that God will help you to pass through the present challenge and move you to a higher level,

God bless

Same here. I watch Nollywood though for some light hearted entertainement. Who can't but laugh at some of the sotrylines and acting; People undergoing brain surgery but with no plaster  or drip and people being shot on the left side but they clutch the right side and so on  grin

I also listen to Gospel music when I'm down. Josh Groban's "You raise me up" always features highly in my feel good music list.

Half an hour on the treadmill listening to a good sermon or music also does a lot of wonders to my spirit.

Same here.
I am a great fan of www.video.onlinenigeria.com

i usually write in my journal while listening to some very encouraging music. writing my thoughts down in a journal really helped me get through some tough times, and it still does to this day.
