Does anyone want to share something you do when you're feeling down that makes you feel better? 🙂

I'll start. 😀

* Calling my best friend.
* Writing in my journal and try to analyse why I feel bad and what I can do about it
* Eating cream cheese chips and watching happy Buffy eps or "She's the man" (soooo FUNNY! 😀)
* Going to the VH lounge and talking to my VH friends
* You Have 1 New Reputation
* going out dancing

Now you go! 😀

Awesome thread! :D
Singing makes me feel better when I'm down! Putting on a favourite song and singing along at the top of my lungs always helps. Unfortunatley for the neighbours...I can't sing!
 
This is a great idea for a thread Miki 😀

I usually listen to incredibly happy music like Owl City!! Lol It's seriously hard to be upset when listening to this lol:

Aw, thank you! :heart: Also, great song! I've never heard it before, so thanks for sharing! :)
For me, there are a few things that I can always count on to help lift my spirits some. They are:

1) Getting a manicure/pedicure.
2) Listening to an old playlist of mine.
3) Going for a run.
4) Bubble baths with rose scented bubbles.
5) A glass of good wine with my best friend.

Bubble baths!!! Is it sad that I still find making a bubble santa beard hilarious? lol

LOL, I SO do that too! I'm like:

You. You make me feel better. Mrs Sunshine for sure.




But... Not like I go seeking/stalking you when I need to improve my mood.

Not being the social type I don't do much outgoing things to cheer me up. Spending time with the right kind of people is probably the best cure.

* Comfort food. Really bad idea for me. As it clearly shows I've had enough of that to last two lifetimes. And it only helps for the moment. I never ever turn to alcohol or drugs though.
* Watching stand up or sitcoms. Some comedies can work too.
* Singing and a little dance. Too bad I mostly do it when I'm already happy.
* Putting on some good music and walk into the forrest, or just sit in the shadows under a tree if the weather allows it.
* Checking bb. Don't always work but worth a try.
* Good positive music and taking a bath.

Awwwww! :heart: And feel free to stalk! :D
I have lots of different tips when I'm down:

- I listen to Muse (Invincible or Butterflies and Hurricanes) and it makes me feel strong.
- I watch Chosen.
- I "force" myself into crying because sometimes, you just need to cry a bit to feel way better, to feel released.
- I take a shower, wash my hair, put a bit of make up on, put a music that makes me a happy-Barbie on a loop and take pictures of myself, to make me feel better about myself (and have new Facebook-profile pictures :tongue3🙂
- I do some severe air-punching on that music [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5gzitwTA6tk"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5gzitwTA6tk[/ame] and it helps me release the pressure.
- I sleep, because when I'm tired I'm less positive, so I'm easier in a bad mood.
- I see if a friend isn't connected to talk non-sense with me.
- I meditate.
- I work for school so I feel like I'm not a complete waste.
- I read the news to remind me that I'm actually quite lucky in life and I'd rather enjoy it instead of complaining for nothing.
- I search on yahoo answers if people feel like I do and it makes me feel less alone.
And if none of this works, watching The Mysterious Ticking Noise never fails to make me happier :heart:

ahahaha yes!!!! Timmy turner!! Now I have to listen to this!
I thought of another one! Watching hilarious episodes of Buffy/Angel like Halloween, Band Candy, Beer Bad, Life Serial, Smile Time, Spin The Bottle, Sense and Sensitivity, Disharmony 😀

Yay for Buffy! 😀

h.

YES. Being in a small village with lots of cows and nature, that's something I miss so much, just being able to enjoy things like woods and grass and flowers, lol. I should find a nice forest in Gothenburg and start hanging out there! Well, maybe not at night.... 😀

I'd love to just walk into the forest..we have beautiful parks and such but it's not the same as the country!
* My nephew. He is the most adorable little baby boy. He would lift anyone's day.

* Lyri. I'll rant, she'll listen and then she'll make fun of me. Foolproof system. 😛

* Music. Whatever mood I'm in I'll listen to that kind of music and it just brings me out of. I find Cochise by Audioslave works best if I'm angry or pissed off. 😀

* Watching clips of my favourite comedians on Youtube. Tommy Tiernan, Dara O'Briain and Dylan Moran.

* Reading old fun threads or emails. Instant mood booster.

* Running.

* A cup of tea and a chat with a good friend. 😉

I love Dara! He's sooooo funny! I can't belive how he could just make up things like that on the spot!
* Watching clips of my favourite comedians on Youtube. Tommy Tiernan, Dara O'Briain and Dylan Moran.

yay for having the same sense of humour! Dara - brilliant! And Dylan Moran, LOL, I love black books SO much! That ep when the cleaning guy comes to the shop - oh my god! 😀
 
You know what's one thing I do, when people call me fat or ugly? I dress up. I get my hair done, put on my make up, and get super cute. Then I take pictures of myself in ridiculous poses in front of the mirror. Then I go out. Doesn't really matter where. It's just to go out, and have someone tell you you look great 😀

Also, I have a happy playlist. I've been listening to it a lot lately.

Also, eating strawberries makes me happy. like woah!

Watching Buffy, SKYPING! receiving a rep comment, all that jazz 😀

awww, I love all those things, and the first one is so awesome! Also, can we please see your happy playlist? I'll show you mine if you show me yours ;)
Lately, to make myself feel better, I run. After 3 or 4 miles, I feel better.

But if that doesn't work, I watch this video. Because it hasn't failed to make me feel better yet. [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d4bJsIogkGk[/ame]







Pretty cool, right? WRONG. Really cool.

Except watching endlessly and endlessly clips of cute kittens on youtube, these three clips also make me feel happy:

MikiMommy, that second video just made my day SO much better!
*have a good time with my boyfriend..cuddles and a good movie with junk food

*sing....I will sing over an instrumental track..and pour my heart out

*relax at the boards

*I also cry...it releases the tension and I feel liberated and kinda objective afterwards

*eat NUTELLA...I'd be dead without it

*write a song, to free myself and put things in perspective

*watching Buffy to get things off my mind or SCRUBS...there's nothing like it to bring a smile to my face

*collecting pictures of my idols

....that's all I think right now..I'll come up with more stuff.

I felt sad and I just finished a Buffy re-watch so I started a Scrubs re-watch. Win.
* sitting outside on a gorgeous sunny day like today and getting my first sun tan of the season 🙂

* watching the Phillies games

aww soaking up the sun! Love it :)
Four words: Taylor Swift Dance Party. Epic. I have them all the time... just ROCKING out. Sometimes (and I LOVE to do this) I pick up my guitar and play along. I like to pretend I'm Taylor and I'm on stage...

Four more words: James Marsters Dance Party. Epic. I do these all the time too... Just going wild and crazy to the sound of my lovely James singing... *sigh*

Watching convention videos on youtube. So fun.

Playing with my cats.
