Stretch, yawn happily and say “I slept so good. It's going to be a great day.” Basically fake it till you make it.

Sing. As it turns out, your vagus nerve -- the main wiring conduit between brain and body -- can get in a snit and make you feel like hell emotionally.
But it likes vibration. All that Buddhist OM chanting begins to make sense. So sing, chant, recite, hum, intone, whatever. Just be resonant and make that vagus vibrate. A couple of minutes makes a noticeable difference. Longer works even better.

This is what I do too!! Never made the connections to chants as well, that’s so cool.

Great! Just want to mention that I misspelled the nerve name the first time. It's the "vagus" nerve, not the "vague nerve." :-)

Do things I'd do if it were a good day. For example, a good day i might want to make a nice big fancy breakfast, so I do and enjoy it and it makes me feel nice. On a bad day, I might not want to cook the breakfast, but I will enjoy eating it and my brain knows it's a "good day" thing so afterwords I usually feel much better

Make my bed. The smallest sense of accomplishment and order can derail a bad day.
