What cheers you up?

[Lc jones]

I found this question online and thought it was a really great one as it could be helpful to others. I’ll start, what cheers me up is when I am down I have to consciously decide to change my thoughts. I must focus on something positive and good and that tends to lift the fog. How about you?

Couldn't agree with you more. It needs to be a "decisive moment" when you realize you can choose to be just as miserable as you want to be, or choose something way better by changing your thoughts and eliminating the poisons!

I try to come up with a ridiculously humorous angle on something.

Being able to laugh so hard I cry......or have to pee ...it's a toss up.

The right upbeat music. Whatever I can dance around the house to.

Nothing. I just tough it out.

Wait. I am editing my post.

What cheers me up?

Going to the mailbox and finding a check instead of an invoice. Singing all the way to the bank thinking of what I'm going to buy to treat myself.

something funny

I sing a song, silently to myself.

I wallow around in a little self-pity, have a talk with myself and start to work my way out of it by catching up on all of the chores.

Good coffee and my wife's company. It does it every time.

When I'm down I try to pinpoint what's putting me in the slump, then I look at the big picture and recognize that there are a lot of other people with much more serious problems than I have, some severely physically and mentally impaired even from birth. It puts things in perspective and I stop feeling sorry for myself.

Other things that cheer me up are my furbabies, hubby and getting outside in nature, watching birds and wildlife. Music works well too if I'm in the mood, I easily start moving and singing to the song and can't help but feel better.

Jamming, with my band, on great tunes.
The view at the top of a sixty foot oak, that I'm pruning.
A great roll in the hay.
Watching my family enjoy a meal I just cooked.
Enjoying a meal I just cooked.
Swimming laps at the "Y," and realizing I'm still alive, when I get out of the pool.
Reading a great book.
Hiking a great trail.
Walking around a State Park, watching my fellow RV'ers, as they get their fires going, at 7 AM.
Playing with Max.
Roaming around town with Janet, running errands.
Many more....
