π Some things you can do to brighten your mood
Inn-sha-Allah instantly, even if you don't have close friends to talk to or can't always spend time with your family:
1] With a melodious voice calmly read some pages from the Noble Qur'an. Try to check the Tafseer and the verses' meanings to understand Allah's Words more.
2] Listen to some tranquil Qur'an recitations while relaxing or completing some chores.
3] Read an Islamic book or beneficial writings of Muslims who strive to follow the teachings in the Noble Qur'an and Sunnah of the beloved Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam.
4] Attentively listen to an Islamic lecture or occasionally attend Islamic classes when possible.
5] Research online on how to become a better Muslim, how to strengthen your personality and how to deal with different types of people.
6] Watch motivational videos and inspirational talks on YouTube, while making sure that you avoid content which may trigger self-doubt.
7] Go out for a few minutes to get some sunlight, enjoy the breeze, watch how clouds scatter around the skies, look at rainfall, see the stars and trees etc. Reflect on nature and your surroundings which Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala beautifully created, while saying Adhkaar and Du'a.
8] Take a light nap and if you wake up from an interesting dream, attempt to analyze what it could mean.
9] Improve a skill (such as calligraphy or learning how to communicate better in Arabic language) or enhance your understanding of a particular subject which you believe can benefit you in both worlds.
10] Say Dhikr and seek Allah's Forgiveness with dedication. Say "AstaghfurAllah Al-'Atheem" and "Laa ilaaha illaa Anta SubhaanAka innee kuntu min adh-dhaalimeen" as often as you can.
11] Gather info, through reliable sources, on how Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam and his companions / the Sahaabas RadhiAllahu 'anhum, as well as Allah's other Prophets 'alaihim as-salaam, lived their lives and derive benefits from how they constructively dealt with various challenges.

π Suhayb RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "Amazing is the affair of the believer, as there is good for him in every matter. This is not the case for anyone but for the believer. If he goes through ease (or happy moments), he thanks Allah and it is good for him. If he goes through difficulty, he shows patience and it is good for him."

π Abu Sa'eed Al-Khudri RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Some people from the Ansaar asked the Messenger of Allah SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam and he gave them. Then they asked for charity again and he SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam gave them. Then they asked again and he SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam gave them until all he had was gone. The Prophet SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "If I had anything, I would not withhold it. Whoever refrains from asking others, then Allah will make him content. Whoever would be independent, then Allah will make him independent. Whoever would be patient, then Allah will make him patient. There is no gift that is better and more comprehensive than patience."
