List 20: Things to do when you’re sad

When I’m in a melancholy mood, rather than feel bad for feeling bad (!!) I try and do something to distract myself from my mood. Here’s a few of the things I do:

• Put some happy music on LOUD and dance dance dance
• Eat chocolate!
• Write a list of things to be grateful for
• Do something creative. Paint, write, knit… whatever takes you’re fancy
• Go for a walk
• Do something nice for someone else
• Call someone
• Watch a cheesy movie
• Write it all out
• Run a bubble bath and put on a face mask
• Meditate for 5 minutes
