What is a mental trick you use personally to snap out of a bad mood or negative thought pattern?

In cases where you can identify (or maybe sort of identify) the conditions that are causing the bad mood/thoughts, creatively visualize a worse version of the scenario.

Kind of a play on the framing effect. 🧠 happy relative to the worse (but not real) scenario.

Dali Lama put it: "look down, not up"
