Here is a list of things I think really help me feel better when I'm sad!!!!
- Do something good for someone else, even though you may not want to. Do a favour, help them find something, give them an item which will help them in some way. Start the flow of positive energy.
- Eat the best chocolate you can get your hands on.
- Turn up music you really love. Play it so loudly that it soaks in through your skin. Dance in your pyjamas. Feel the pain lift.
- Call a friend & just have a chat!
- Sing. Loudly. Badly. Off-key. Whatever you like. It works. The last time I was on my way somewhere really nerve-wracking, I was in a cab. The radio was playing & I was so anxious that the only way I could distract myself was by singing along. Loudly. The driver probably thought I was a total nut but I didn’t care & it did the trick!
- Write a list of things that you appreciate right now, in the present moment. Focus on each of them & let the love inside you well up. Even when things appear to be going really, really badly, there are always things to be happy about.
- Indulge in your “guilty pleasures”, whatever they are. (romcoms, silly chick flicks, chocolate, more chocolate...)
- Load up your ipod & go for a walk through your favourite park.
- Hug your friends.
- Believe that everything is always getting better.
