Also, as NotGolfer said, gratitude to God for all that He provides is also a great mood elevator and restorer of peace.
In my case, it was my father who instilled this in me. He would always say "I used to be bad off when I had no shoes, until I met a man who had no feet."

Gratitude -- the ultimate cure for depression.
