First, some context: I'm feeling a little lovelorn. What a terrible thing to feel - it's a confusing situation and I really don't care to share anymore than that. (Could you tell from the last post?)
Some things I like to do to make my day a little brighter.
1) Look at images of cute animals. Like these:
Aren't they adorable? They make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. And I like to hold onto that feeling. Mm. Restorative problems working. Gweyn casted Cure!
2) Write.
Kind of like the last post about feeling lovelorn. Sometimes it's easier to express how I feel in written words than expressed words to my friends and family. And I can say anything I really want to. Which is why most of that is entered into my personal offline journal is so dark and creepy... Not really. But more of the feels come out.
3) Listen to music.
The happy kind. With a touch of relatable. Or I move through phases of emotions and use music to vector those. Like the sad phase (which I am in right now), to the frustration, then anger, and then I mellow the hell out. So loud mad music.
4) Completely separate. I SING. Singing makes me happy. I sing all the songs I can remember the lyrics to. So it's kind of a splash of different things. I am particularly fond of Dark Blue by Jacks Mannequin or something ridiculously happy with Owl City.
5) Talk with friends. It's really helpful to talk to friends. And hang out with friends. And things like that. Friends can be helpful in getting you out of a slump.
6) Conversely I seek out solitude. There are times when you just need to be alone with your feelings. Must take this in small doses. Because emotions are powerful things sometimes you just need to accept them and let them run their course. It might mean moping around for a day but it's better than keeping it bottled inside. Kudos to me if I can cry.
Gweyn casted Curaga. Feel slightly better.
It might also help to try and avoid what is making you upset at that point, but know you must face it some time.
