Ways to perk up when your mood sinks down...

- Put on comfortable clothes and go for a hike.
- Dance around the house to some (loud) classic rock.
- List 50 things that make you happy. (You'll feel better before you get to 50!)
- Call a couple friends and go out.
- Do something creative, like paint or cook.
- Do something nice for someone else. You'll forget your own troubles.
- Let it all out with a good cry. Then get up and carry on!
