If you you want to shake your bad mood you may simply want to try changing the tone of your voice.
According to The Daily Mail,
Published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, researcher digitally altered the tone of people’s voices as they spoke so that they would sound happier, sadder, or more fearful. When the participants heard their altered voice recordings played back, they began to feel happier, sadder, or more fearful. This happened even though the participants had not been told that their voice recordings had been manipulated. Researchers hope this method could be used to help those with mood disorders like depression, but also say it could be used to “enhance the impact of karaoke or live singing performances, or maybe to alter the emotional atmosphere of conversations in online meetings and gaming.”
I can believe that because there was a time when I was in a bad mood and I tried not to take it out on the next person, so I change the tone of my voice and surprisingly it took me out of my funk.
