What kind of sadness is it? That could give a clue to how to lift it.
Sadness like blah, lack of excitement, low self-esteem, fear of being a bag lady = could be an endorphin low. the fix is to do things that raise endorphins naturally. Watch or listen to some comedy and laugh out loud, Loud upbeat music, perform in public, have sex, do sports or athletics.
Sadness like loneliness and lack of comfort- could be serotonin lows. the fix is to do comforting things - cuddle, pamper yourself, talk to a really great friend, coze and read in front of a fire, surround yourself with uplifting whatevers. Ha ha have you seen cuteoverload.com ? Long term, get enough sleep and not too many stimulants - they can go through serotonin like kleenex (it's a consumable, we make it and use it up)
Sadness like anxiety and anxious jitters - could be suddenly dropping blood sugar, like you're running out of glucose fuel. fix is to add fat or protein or whatever you think contributed to running out of fuel; tweak your food and exercise if you think it's from your exercise outstripping your fuel
