5. • Going for walks/jogs
   • Work out (though when I’m having a depressive spell, I take it easy and do light work outs)
   • Listening to music
   • talking to my partner or friends about whatever it is I’m feeling
   • cuddle with my cat

   Hope you feel better

6. drink coffee in the sun

7. I listen to fun music. I made a Playlist of the songs that make me happy, which are upbeat and have happy lyrics. I play it wearing block sound earphones. It pulls me out of the blue cloud into dancing mode and laughs.

8. Same 😭. Usually force myself to work out, do like a pampering shower (face mask, hair mask, etc.) while listening to some of my fav songs, or watch something dumb and funny

9. Repeating positive mantras such as « I can do it », « everything is going to be okay », « don’t worry » and try to keep a positive attitude. Also, cheering people around you, and people who help you (like a colleague, a friend, a delivery person or a bus driver by thanking them and telling them they’re doing a great job). It always cheers me up.

11. A hard workout followed by some nice chocolate or a cake!

12. Listen to my favorite songs, cuddle with my dog and reading my journal. I have been journaling to keep positive memories and write down compliments I’ve gotten from random strangers so that when I do feel down, I go back and read them.

13. Making a delicious dinner for myself. Sitting on my balcony with a homemade cocktail.

14. Taking a hot shower, doing my skinscare, put on some perfume and just do easy tasks.

15. i do my makeup tbh

16. A little ‘treat myself’ ☺️

17. No idea lying in bed avoiding the world. Idea of playing chicken on the motorway sounds enjoyable not gonna lie, gives me something to do thats fairly easy.

    Sadly, cant do that so I’ll have another hot shower.
