Cheers you up when you feel like crap and wondering why the hell you still bother?
Music is good for the soul and helps to lift your spirits..either that or putting the world to rights with a good friend over a tub of Ben and Jerry's..what helps you? |

Snuggling on the sofa binging Netflix

"My inspirational ‘hang in there’ cat poster on my wall. "
Haha I've just Googled "Hang in there..." Before I could continue, "cat" came up and they are so cute! I'll have to get one...!
Comfort food is one thing but I've found exercise to be energising - endorphins I think. It's not instant like a sugar rush, but constantly exercising (I run four miles on weekday mornings), I just feel much more together than if I didn't. |

Good morning OP, lots of things lift me up. Goofing about with my little one always works (giggles are infectious), but also time spent reading, or taking photographs, or being outside in the fresh air away from screens and computers, cafes, cake, yoga, kisses… there are 100 different things that help lift me up each day. How about you? Is there one thing in particular that always works? Xx |

Cooking and making real effort with it cheers me up instantly. Use great seasonal produce, set the table and present the dish nicely. Works best for brunch it’s a great time of day to cheer you and your loved one up xx |

Cadburys Dairy Milk.
As a diabetic, it’s poison to me but sometimes I just have to have the dopamine hit and it’s just heavenly.
Smiles , they lift me. Just random people who may walk past and say good morning (I’m from Birmingham, it was always normal to do)
The biggest thing was my Staffy. He died on boxing day and nothing lifts me like he did. He was pure, unadulterated love.  |

Certainly not this boreal cloud cover and chilly wind.
I have virtually no spirits remaining to lift until this weather shows signs of ending. It can drag on for ages and has done so in recent years at this time of year. |

I'm feeling like crap right now and think the best thing to lift my mood might just be sleep
Otherwise, usually a good gym session or a walk while listening to my favourite podcast or just meeting up with friends |

I guess managing the glucose spikes is the way? I'm currently waiting for my second Hb1Ac test appointment to reconfirm a first test positive.

I really want to get a Maltese Bichon... Resisted throughout lockdown so it's not a flash fad want. I know s/he will definitely be a mood lifter! But not sure how I'd cope if I lost them... {{Hugs}}.

Going for a drive with the music on high and having a good, loud singalong.
Got to avoid the tourists with campervans though, nothing kills the mood faster than dropping down to 40 on a 60?road because of some clown driving a tank |

It's annoying how low it is on my list of priorities despite knowing how good you can feel after a good night's sleep. Staying up late has been one of my worst habits for years  |

I found a whole load of online sellers including Amazon. Just Google "hang in there cat". The interweb is always after your money... |

I really enjoy driving along in my motorhome, looking at the lovely countryside and ignoring the idiots behind who want to rush everywhere  .
No, in reality I pull over when it's safe to do so. But exploring a new area and some peace & quiet and a change of scenery always lifts my mood. |

It depends on if I'm sad or if another has triggered those feelings.
Sometimes it'll be going to the gym. Sometimes it's sex because not thinking for a little bit gives me that space to be and to breathe. Other times I'll go for a long walk and listen to an appropriate playlist.
Or sometimes I'll sit with those feelings and watch Criminal Minds and eat grapes and tell myself tomorrow is a new day but today I can goblin. |

"….or pimple popping ones - they’re great!  "
I love these so much! And the ingrown hair removals one. I think growing up with a mum who didn't shy away from discussing medical issues etc has made me a bit gross though. |

And those delightful earwax removal ones to; blissful!
Some of the blackhead removing ones even have mellow, accompanying piano tracks in the background; the combination of popping/dirt extraction and aforementioned acoustic tracks are incredibly relaxing I find

Music, a good chat, a hug or the sun shining and longer days. I hate heat, but the sun shining makes things so much better. Oh and the Mr of course :D .......

"Sex "
Obviously, but sometimes it is not that we require, something else to get us going again. Music, food or meeting up with friends. Sometimes even the smallest of things, like a complement from someone is enough.
I always try to be nice to people as you never know how they are doing, a little bit of care and happiness goes along way. |

Listening to music.
A wee trip in the car even if only to sit at the beach on a sunny day, watch people go by.
Have someone unexpectedly get in touch with me means i know someone is thinking about me. |

My pets never fail to lift my mood. About to add to my pack again in a few weeks with a shih tzu puppy I'm looking forward to training her as a therapy pet if she shows the aptitude and temperament. |

The smell and sounds of the seaside
Massages
A good book
Boiling hot showers
Laughing
Surrounding myself with loved ones
A good coffee or tea
Alain Ducasse extra dark chocolate
Cuddles on the sofa under a cosy blanket
Kisses
Flowers

Humour. Trying to find something funny to laugh about, even in bad situations really helps you get through life. Laughter is life's best tonic.
Music also helps, but on a good dance, or sing a long song/feel good tune, and dance/sing your heart out. |

Good friends and helpless laughter is a real tiramisu for me
Riding my bike and singing at the same time
Playing my guitar
Sunshine and being out on the Downs or Fells
- just smiling a lot |

Laughter is the number one thing, if some makes me laughs and distracts me from what wrong even if it just briefly it cheers me up and appreciate even more just how lucky I am to have them in my life and they care enough to try and make things seem not so bad x |

I like that, it's good to know someone is thinking about you and no necessarily in a pervy way x |

Drivers like you will always get a toot toot, a smile, and a wave from me when I'm passing. A little courtesy goes a long way on the road
