"When you are feeling down/sad/tired etc...
What do you do to try and perk yourself up a bit?
What turns your frown upside down? "
I go for a run to get some fresh air and then talk to some friends. I have to make myself talk but it’s amazing how much better I feel afterwards. |

A natter to a mate
Doing something positive (a household chore or a bit of grooming or a task I've been putting off)
A mindfulness practice (I particularly like the ceremony of making a cup of loose leaf tea but treating every stage of it as a joyful celebration, than sitting in calm with myself and my feelings while I drink it)
Sitting in my window watching waves along the beach
Eating outdoors (a sandwich eaten sitting under a tree in the dappled light, or a flask of soup on a chilly day eaten on a park bench, a bag of chips eaten out of the paper in one of the wind shelters while the rain beats down, doesn't have to be a full-on picnic)
Giving myself a tiny treat
Ultimately just allowing myself to feel my feelings knowing they'll pass. |
