How do you cheer yourself up?
Two days ago a friend asked me what I do when I’m feeling blue. I had to think about it a bit because I wasn’t sure what to say. The thing is, what works for me may not work for someone else.
I decided to be honest and tell her what works for me but that we are all different ;) So, I shared that I
- watch a funny movie to get me laughing
- go ahead and have a Whopper with cheese and fries on the side
- go to the library, pick a good book and read ’till my sad feelings have passed
- talk to a friend who tends to have funny stories - not so I can share my feelings but so that I can hear his/her funny ones.
- remind myself that life is short and I deserve to be happy so if something is wrong, I need to fix it not dwell on it
So, that’s my list. There are probably lots of other things too but those are a start. What things do you like to do to cheer yourself up?
