It happens to the best of us — sometimes you’re just not feeling yourself and need a little pick-me-up. For the most part I’m a pretty positive person but there are times when I have a tough day or week.
You don’t have to rely on others to put you in a good mood. There are so many things you can do yourself to turn the day around. Here are a few of my favorite ways to cheer myself up when I’m feeling a little down:
1. Laugh
2. Organize something
3. Do yoga or some kind of exercise
4. Smile
5. Go shopping
6. Eat dark chocolate
7. Learn something new
8. Play with a dog
9. Plan a vacation
10. Call a friend
11.Read a favorite magazine or book
12. Make a gratuity list
13. Get a massage
14. Take a walk in the park
15. Watch funny YouTube videos
16. Sleep
17. Buy yourself flowers
18. Get a haircut

Haha Shirley! You know me too well! I left it off because I was trying not to look like a wino – but thanks for bringing me back!
