Sadly, we tend to take others' moods personally rather than allowing others to own their own moods.

Live your life. I often tell clients to think about what they can do to be the person they want to be. I encourage them to base it on their values rather then their thoughts and emotions. However, there are some things that you can give up to make your life more fulfilling. Giving these things up can help to increase you mental health. Here's a good place to start.

Recognize your feelings, Acknowledge your feelings, Investigate your feelings (allow yourself to feel them), and be Nonjudgmental about your feelings. Then get up and be the person you want to be and live the life you want to live. No reason to deny how you feel. No reason for your feelings to stop you from being the person you want to be.
