How do you deal with negativity? I have no outlet and think it's not good to keep it all contained until it explodes out. And it's not as simple as praying it away, Sometimes I'm in such a bad mood i cannot pray.
Father Sebastian Kneipp (who Pope Leo XIII sought out for medical advice) was known to suggest these remedies for those who suffer from meloncholy:
1. Fresh Air (if you can't go outside open some windows)
2. Sunshine (the sun is known for instantly increasing serotonin levels)
3. Exercise especially gardening and lifting (gives an adrenaline boost and helps to stretch and relax your muscles)
4. Take a cold bath/shower or jump in a river/lake. (It will invigorate your whole body and make it feel more alive.)
5. Eat simple healthy foods and avoid bad ones. (Eat raw milk, legumes, brown bread, raw cheese, fruit, etc... Avoid processed foods, too much alcohol, coffee and other stimulants etc.)

One last thought... Remember that in times of anguish a simple Our Father or "Blessed be God!" can often gain you more graces than rosaries said in time of peace.
