what do you do to lift your spirits?

I like to watch youtube videos about happy stories. Like the Ellen show, or people proposing to their girlfriends. I'm kind of suffering the same thing about life. I'm down about being unemployed. But I can't help what I have no control over, no use in fretting over it, right?

Hope this helps!

I turn on some fun funky music and just dance, dance, dance.

Also, Draw your dreams being achieved! You don't have to be an artist, but I know when I draw a skinny me in a wedding dress standing next to Ryan Gosling, I feel pretty freaking awesome.

I'm such an emotional eater, and I'm a bit prone to depression/anxiety, so I totally feel you on this one. Things that make me feel better are: Great music (I try to treat myself to a new song download instead of something to eat); hot baths, new make up (drugstore because that's the kind of budget I'm on) or hair stuff, calling a friend, doing something creative or useful around the house--fixing something, painting something, a trip to the fabric store, or a trip to the library.

Hope one of these ideas will be helpful to you!

Truth is I workout. When I care for myself everything else falls into place.

i make lists too! or watch some crappy reality tv like the kardashians shopping always works xxx

When I am feeling down about anything, I put on some awesome music and journal. I write and write and write. I sometimes write about what is making me upset and how I can change it, or I write about all of the good things that are happening in my life that should make me happy. Sometimes the answer is in my head and I just have to find it And I always try to remember that food never tastes as good as healthy feels.

I put on praise and worship music and pray, praise, cry, sing and dance. Then I will either take a nap, put on some good old school funky music and jam while doing something constructive in the house, or go out for some retail therapy. But not food!! I've worked so hard to get to where I am now, and I don't want to derail my efforts over something or someone that probably wasn't worth the trouble anyway.

I'm an emotional eater to... so instead of going to a chocolate shop and i need a pick me up... i generally go for an all fruit smoothie or a fat free yogurt with berries... and if i really need a chocolate fix i shave half a square of dark chocolate over the yogurt. (The diet I'm on allows two small squares of dark chocolate a day*Think an individual wrapped dove square*) If I add the dark chocolate to the yogurt and berries i make sure to pick a berry or fruit that isn't considered a carb fruit as I then treat the yogurt as a fat snack and plan on having a fat meal (with no carbs) afterwards.

Exercise.

If that fails, drink rum.

One word: poopsnacks.

It used to be eating, hence why I'm here.
Now I buy shoes and/or drink. Lots.
