Everyone gets the blues sometimes. How do you give yourself a lift when you feel blah?

1) snuggling with my cat. 2) Strawberry icecream at the local tiny Italian restaurant. It's soooo good that I reward myself with it when I've had a very good day, and use it as an apology from the world to me, on the days when life is bad.

@discomeg2: haha, that's actually my sister. I don't think I had quite as much awesomeness going on. She actually had me take this picture for the sole purpose of recording those shoes for posterity.

As a substitute for flying, have you tried scuba diving in warm clear water? I used to dream of flying as a child... that was about 2,000 dives ago. *tee-hee!* Imagine mid-air somersaults, hanging in the air like you're sitting in an easy chair, letting light like a spiderweb of refraction warm your back.

This is one of the things I'm bound to do, but I've never done despite the chances. I'm near to Croatia where they tell me there are marvellous spots for diving. Thanks for the reminder, Seth.

Do something totally distracting...? Scuba, watch a loud popcorn movie, bicycle through a beautiful countryside, volunteer in the kitty korner of a local animal shelter for a few daze...?

Kind of hard to give myself a lift when I get the blues. I often tend to just go with it. But distractions can help. Being with friends/loved one(s) (which is too hard to time, since those times are few and far between, while the blues hit slightly more often), a really good movie, sometimes music. Good snacks may help too. Although not much longer than however long it takes to finish the bag ;)

Yes, a recently discovered good alternative. Only sold in stores I rarely go to, so that makes it a good specialty treat.

Different ways, at the moment I mess around on minecraft. My 4th house (which is incomplete in this picture), I've stationed it near another mine of mine as a tiny base of operations. If that doesn't work, I listen to music from https://8bc.org/ (mostly my favs play list)

I still don't get that game. I know it's an open sandbox and all, but I just can't get over the blocky graphics. I used to make my own duke nukem maps 12 years ago that looked better, and the editor wasn't terrible hard to use. Granted I can't combine objects, but still

Well there's a lot you gotta learn about it, via maybe it's wiki etc. I didn't get it at first for some reason either. Then I saw a video of this really long track that someone made, for some reason it made me "get it". Strange process to go through, but I love it now. The blocky graphics are reminiscent of 8 bit stuff and it makes folks feel nostalgic. I don't see the graphics as bad or even horrible. You can even get texture packs to make the blocks look a little different. You can get into circuitry or whatevers via
red-stone, or build mega structures, i personally just like gathering stuff.Jun 21, 2011 20:30 by faith.

When I'm feeling blah, The best and only thing that makes me feel good is to go workout. Weird I know, but after I workout I feel AMAZING!

I totally get it. I used to work out more regularly, and even when I was tired or having a crappy day, I'd still go even though I didn't feel like it beforehand because I knew how good I'd feel after.

Sometimes exercise makes me feel a little better. But it's hard to actually start moving.

Chocolate or tequila (or JB) helps too. But not all at once. I wish I could fall asleep at any time because that would be the best way to feel better. Lots and lots of sleep. But unfortunately, that doesn't happen. So, music therapy. Loud, and hopefully something I can sing to as that helps the most for some reason. ♩ ♪ ♫ ♬

You can sing to most songs. You probably know all the lyrics, too :) (I'll only sing loud in the car, by myself, going 70 on the highway to drown out the noise)
