Hi Malia – A couple of my favorites have already been mentioned: Humor and Music.
Humor: I prefer to own my DVDs, but you could rent to bring the cost down. There are services like Netflix and Blockbuster that will deliver right to your door. Some of my favorites to watch this last year have been the British & American versions of “Whose Line is it Anyway” (improvisational comedy), The Simpsons, and Beavis & Butt-head. I figure that anything that makes me laugh so hard I cry is a good thing. ” title=”Very Happy” />
Music: Go with what you love here. I use iTunes to make compilations of specific types of music. Some days I like heavy metal to release my frustration – other days I listen to Hawaiian music to try and get into a peaceful state.
A couple of others:
Activity: On the days when I’m dragging, I usually feel better if I try to do some activity…even if it’s just a quick walk around the block.
Meditation: I am not as diligent with this as I would like to be, but I do find that I have a better overall outlook when I can take a few minutes of silence morning and night.
Good luck!
