When I am feeling down, 2 things I do that help me are...

[Ladybj]

Listen to music, watch one of my favorite (recorded) movies/tv shows...one that makes me laugh.

Thought I would post this because I am sure we all have times we are feeling down. A few suggestions may help someone else lift their spirit.

Have an amorous session with the GF, cook a great meal for us, afterwards.

I agree that good music is always a pick-me-up. For me I like to get out of the house, preferably in a wooded nature area and take a nice walk, with or without my dog. Simple things like buying a new inexpensive house plant can help make your mood more positive. Going outdoors to watch a sunrise or sunset definitely affects your state of mind and well-being.

I agree... I have two live plants which I love... I think they need company....lol Time for another plant.
I do not live too far from the beach.. not walking distance but not too far. One day I would love to sit on the beach and watch the sunrise, I feel in my heart it will happen.

I usually go to sleep and when I wake up in the morning I usually feel better, it also helps me to take a warm bath.

Do it! I don't live near the ocean now, but I have seen beautiful sunrises and sunsets in Long Island, NY, Hawaii and the Oregon Coast. Nothing is better....well worth making it happen especially if you're near the beach. With or without the beach, it is truly a beautiful wonder of nature....very healing.

Get up and leave your home and go somewhere you have been meaning to go. Do something or go somewhere different.

Watch clips of great dancing.. Fred and Ginger are a fave... Gene Kelly ... Mikhail Baryshnikov ... “L’Chaim” or “Matchmaker” from Fiddler on the Roof... I feel better already

Taking a nap or going to bed early. If I'm feeling really down crying it out helps. I feel relief after a good cry.

Go onto a site such as this and realise I'm not the only person who feels this way from time to time.
Put on comedy. A feelgood piece that can bring a smile to your dial regardless

 

[Aunt Bea]

I try to accept it and like others have said take a nap or get a good night's sleep.

Trying to count my blessings and putting the problem into perspective also helps.

 

[Gary O']

I must be the odd one
Never down

I can get mad....but never down...ever


Not ridiculously up....

just....happy

Sleeping is my #1 remedy. Also laughter, watching tennis and shopping. Mostly sleeping though. Everything looks better when well rested and sleep does heal the mind and the body.

 

[Ruthanne]

Sleep helps me, too, I feel terrible when I haven't gotten enough sleep for days.

Music changes my mood as well as comedy and looking for the humor in things.

 

[OneEyedDiva]

Like you Ladybj...listening to music and watching my favorite shows. But also fun phone conversations with family or friends. A crazy bunch we are and no matter who, the conversation(s) always wind up being a laugh fest.

Love, love, love that song!

To get over the blues, I stuff my face and watch a lot of TV.

Sunrise, sunset n crying all work for me.

I don't get 'down' but do struggle with my mixture of emotions and having no one close to share them with other than close friends and one lives in another county and we contact via texting but rarely now due to her health. My Family are all so busy so I keep my feelings undercover for the most part.
