Got a touch of nasties? We have found the best ways to make you smile.
• Scream: (silently)
 When you want to scream, just write ‘scream’ in big letters instead. “Amazingly, it gives you the same release as actually letting rip,” says psychologist Susan firth, from USA. She further adds up that writing whatever else you are feeling, too, and be as angry as you like.

• Pop your cork:
Go into the garden with a can of fizzy drink, shake it really hard, then open it, says an expert. Because this act will surely makes you laugh and also forget about the whole bloody deal.

• Say thanks:

He further adds, if someone’s done you a favor, write them a thank you note or send a bunch of flowers. It shifts the focus away from your bad mood and gets you thinking positively again.

• Make faces:
In front of a mirror, pull a face to express your mood and exaggerate. If you are angry, bare your teeth and shake your fists, or if you are fed up, slump your shoulders and frown, says an expert, who is the coordinator of the happiness project.
