Cheering up when you're feeling down... how do YOU do it?

[Isis Sister Of Osiris]

Some days you really need a pick-me-up that isn't made of 50,000,000 calories... although chocolate is always good for what ails you, amirite?

ANYWAY, since it's not good to stuff our faces every time we feel blue, when you need cheering up, what do you do?

Me, some days I just turn my music player on and open my special "cheering up" folder or look for some of my "feel-good" videos on my computer.

This one is both song and video, and worth sharing. I admit it makes me want to bleach my hair and get a tan... but I'll settle for that leopard-print dress cat_4laugh

Bring on that pecan pie!
Pour some sugar on it, sugar, don't be shy.
Scoop me up a mess of that chocolate swirl,
Don't be stingy, I'm a growing girl!

I offer big love with no apology.
How can I deny the world the most of me?
I am not afraid to throw my weight around,
Pound by pound by pound!

Because I'm big, blonde and beautiful!
Face the fact, it's simply irrefutable!
No one wants a meal that only offers the least,
When girl, we're serving up the whole damn feast!

Slice me off a piece of that hog head cheese,
And take a look inside my book of recipes.
Now don't you sniff around for something fluffy and light!
We need a man who brings a man-sized appetite!

I use a pinch of sugar and a dash of spice!
I'll let you lick the spoon because it tastes so nice!
We'll keep in the oven till it's good and hot
Keep on stirring till you hit the spot!

Because I'm big, blonde, and beautiful!
There is nothing 'bout us that's unsuitable!
Why sit in the bleachers timid and afraid?
When, Edna, you look like the whole parade!

They say that "white has might" and "thin is in",
Well, that's just BULL!
'Cause ladies big is back, and as for black
It's beautiful!

All shapes and sizes, follow me!
Who wants a twig when you can climb a whole tree?

Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah!

Groovy baby, groovy!

well I write alot of poetry to make me smile I usually write yuri stories  

[TheCassMeow]

when i have something bothering me i will normally listen to music and draw. :3 It does help me feel better in the end though.

 

[Seteppe]

I make a list of stuff that makes me happy/smile.

Like:
My dog rolling around in the sun shine.
Me joking with my dad.
My mom helping me bake.
My sister giving me a the old "that's weird" look.
Me getting on Tumblr and finding .gifs from old movies.
Etcetera, etcetera.

Agree with Mitsu-chan. At that point it's time to hit the journal ('cept I write more than I draw). Music is always a good mood lifter/amplifier/soother. Try this feel good song for all women: Video by India Arie. I usually talk to my sister or bestie, too. And when school was in, a teacher wrote me a note on my essay that boosted my confidence instantly. Another teacher recommended I keep that and read it when I need it--but of course that's more for academics... x3  

[Setsunasa]

Me? I go to cuteoverload.com to look at all the absolutely cute things just waiting for me to coo and drool at.

That, or I either watch the Travel Channel or go out to see more of whatever world I can see. Makes me feel small and my troubles trivial compared to everything else out there, lol

 

[Silent_Song16]

Yaoi therapy, Pewdiepie, music, and drawing violent and sad art.  

[StrayKit]

type or read, watch movies i really like, and i have a "shut up and dance" playlist on my iPod along with "upset" and "******** off" to get all the vibes out of my system through angry lyrics  

[M i n i R e d S t a r s]

This may seem cliched or whatever, but exercise really helps. Because it helps me calm down and clear my head. I usually go for a walk and and I live like right infront of the ocean, so the ocean is nice to look at and it calms me.

Another thing I do, is I eat chocolate. I know its bad, but its not like 2 pieces *cough* a whole block *cough* will do any harm right?

Another thing. Crying or screaming. It really helps, it just gets all the emotion out in one big go. I always feel better after a cry if i feel down. emotion_awesome

 

[Forever_Rose09]

Well I'm a huge youtube fan so whenever I feel sad I pull up a ton of my favorite videos from Smosh to Nigahiga to Shane Dawson, Pewdiepie, RayWilliamJohnson, and all those others! Or I take my laptop, go to my room, video chat with friends or put on random songs and dance. But sometimes all it takes is a little time to myself to cheer up too; whatever works for you! dramallama
