Sit quietly with your eyes closed and focus on your breathing. Try to make mental notes of the postive things around you and corner the negativity. 

When feeling low, experts advise moving your body. Even if it is for a light exercise, brief walk or a simple workout, lifting your spirits physically will give you mental motivation. 

Another good option to instantly boost mood is to step outside. Spend some time in the sun during the day or watch the sky full of stars in the night for instant relief. 

Cook, bake, paint or simply solve a puzzle, distract your mind by engaging in creative and productive activities that you would have been putting off. 

When in testing times, connect with old friends and family members who would instantly boost your mood and distract your mind. 

Sometimes finishing a chore you might be procrastinating on takes only a few minutes. Complete the mundane task to get the satisfaction back in your life and bring back the momentum. 

Taking a quick shower can instantly help lift your spirits.
