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

Another one is get really curious about the physical sensations in the body, related to the mood.  No narrative, or story around the feelings, just the raw physical sensation.

"Hmm, there a slight contraction in my upper chest...I can feel a subtle tingle in my arm"

it's the story that hurts usually, not the feeling.

This is a great reminder, this one really does help me. 

I think I need to create some sort of easy-access list with all of these fantastic tactics. Instead of remembering, I can then just pull them up.
