Conventional wisdom states our motivation leads us to perform an action.Our feelings and motivation do guide us, but there is a way to change our mental state, our mood. The way is Action itself.

Action is the biggest Motivation

While it is difficult to control our thoughts and feelings, it is entirely possible to control our external behavior and change our mood. Mood follows action. This could be as simple as forcing yourself to exercise, run errands, or get dinner with a friend when you're feeling particularly low.
