- Read this: http://whitehottruth.com/white-hot/the-manifesto-of-encourag...

- If you have sappy depressing music playing all the time, turn it off. Mood is affected by music.

- Go for a walk.

- Don't drink alone.

- Go to church.

- Realize that there are things in your life that you can't change. And things that you can change. Accept the things you can't change. Change the things that you can change.

Or if you're not a religious chap, replace "Go to church" with something else regular and social like learning a language (no, not a programming language), dance classes, cooking classes, etc.

Yes, exercise.
