What do you do to cheer yourself up?
We all have those days - days where you just wish the world had one collective face so you could punch it, hard and repeatedly.
When you're feeling sad or angry or just fed-up in general, what do you do to make yourself feel better? What turns your frown upside-down and helps you shrug off whatever's grinding your gears? The answers can be as silly or as serious as you like!

Sleep, play games, listen to music, make music, or just ride somewhere and clear my head.

Sleep would be my first one, too. I have a theory that no matter how bad things are in your life, if you're asleep, at least you can't do anything to screw things up even worse.
 Video games and the gym are good therapy, too, usually. |

I tend to wake up at night in the middle of an existential crisis. The only thing that helps me is turning over and kissing my fiancé. That might not sound like me, but it's true.
I also visit my little nephew when I don't feel great. He's super funny and adorable, so he always makes me feel better. After that, I've got my dawgz. If I just feel unhappy or sorta out of it, especially after a ****** day at work, they always turn it around. No matter what we end up doing together. Playing games, watching dumb movies, talking about ridiculous things at length. Whatever. Other than seeking comfort from the people I love most I'll do stuff in my game room. It's a more recent pick-me-up, because it has only existed for about a year, and it works great. My mind is very focused in there for whatever reason. Maybe it's just being surrounded by games. Evokes some special feelings inside. |

I took up boxing a few years ago, just as a hobby obviously. Helps me refocus.

Playing with my Dog is one thing that cheers me up.
Also, Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin manage to do it as well.

If I'm in a real funk, nothing really helps. I just have to wait it out.

When everything gets crazy and it seems everyone is ignoring me and looking for excuses to take away my happiness, I listen to the Pink Floyd Division Bell album to feel better.
