15 Awesome Ways to Cheer You Up When You Feel Down


Are you feeling down or a little sad? Don't worry because I just came up with 15 awesome ways to cheer you up. I'm close too 99% certain that at least one of these ways will put a smile on your face and put you in a better mood! Time to cheer up!

Breathe
Take 5 minutes and consciously breathe. Count your breaths, inhale and exhale. When you focus on breathing, you will notice that you become more relaxed and your worries and troubles melt away.

Friends
I'm talking about the sitcom. I have probably watched every episode ten times and it always gets a smile on my face. Feeling down? Just watch an episode or two and your mood will lift.

Arnold Schwarzenegger
Just Google 'Arnold Schwarzenegger switchboard' and you'll understand what I mean. It is an online switchboard with recorded clips from Arnold and his awesome accent. Guaranteed to make you feel better!

Saying Images
Since I found this site I've been in love with it. No essays or articles, just unique and original pictures with a message. Very cool.

Ice-Cream
Stuffing yourself with your favourite flavour ice-cream always does wonders. It might not be healthy and it might not be a solution, but damn, it tastes good and makes you feel better!

Paint
Get a canvas or a wall or something that you can paint on and let your emotions flow. Let the paintbrush and colors flow freely and your mood will lift.

Friends, Food and Movies
Ask your best friends to come over for the night, get some good movies and great food and just hang out. You don't even have to say anything to each other, just enjoy the movies, food and each other's company.

Play With A Dog
Dogs never seem to have big troubles. They are always energetic and up for fun. Ask someone who has a dog if you can borrow it for the day.

Bubble Bath
Draw a nice warm bath full of bubbles and bath salts. Relax and soak your troubles in the water and leave them behind when you get out of the bath.

Sing
You may not be in the mood to sing, because generally people only sing when they are happy. Put on your favourite song and sing along. You will begin to feel better and it might even change your mood completely!

Create Something
I mentioned painting earlier, but you can do anything you want. Pottery, drawings, carpentry, paper-mache, a song and Lego are some ideas. Be artistic and just make something with your own two hands, it will make you feel better!

Bake a Cake
Yep, even if you are a guy, baking a cake once in a blue moon can be fun. It can be fun to whip up all the ingredients and create something delicious, especially when you are feeling a little down. If your cake comes out perfectly, you can devour it to make you feel even better!

Buy Yourself Flowers.
A fresh bouquet of beautiful flowers always cheers me up. They smell amazing and look so pretty. I can often notice a big lift in my mood when I have flower in front of me for a few hours.
