Five things to uplift your mood:
1) Realize that your moods are not your fault.
You can't help being depressed or anxious (or both since the one is merely the neurochemical flip-side of the other and sometime they rotate). You did not choose to be depressed and you can't turn the mood off just because other people find it inconvenient to be around you when you're down.
2) Discover the root cause of the problem. (You may need some help either from a professional therapist or from a friend that you really trust.)
3) The important thing to remember is that you can't change yourself, by yourself.
Despite what pop-psychology and many self-help books tell you, there's no mechanism in our brain for self-improvement. Human beings are social animals; we learn by observing and reacting to others. We can't always control our moods. But we can begin to change our moods and our behaviors by changing the basis of our relationships in all aspects of our lives. By basing our relationships on our concrete, doable and action-oriented needs, we undo the “programming” of the past and become the people we were meant to be.
4) listen your favourite song/music
5) think about sweet moments of your life.
6) Think about goals/aims of your life that you have achieved or planning for .
