The sentence is run-on and contains redundancy and an extra ending conjunction 'and.' Also 'a overall' is incorrect article use before a vowel sound; it should be 'an overall' but better is 'an overall better, happier mood.' Improved sentence breaks ideas clearly, removes repetition, corrects article usage, and ensures parallel structure with repeated 'to' verbs.
