What makes you feel better?

[CallMeIshmael]

I figured I would just ask a question and see what came in for responses. I have felt absolutely joyless for a while and I am wondering if anyone has found things that help them to feel a little better.Playing guitar used to help me but lately I have just been getting frustrated with it. So what do you guys think?

sometimes reading helps anything that distracts or occupies the mind, doing work ,cleaning, or writing in a journal, personally when i spend time with my little niece i feel better children are great they are just filled with joy, you can always try exercise or listening to music , prayer, i heard things like yoga and meditation help a lot. i also enjoy sleep , but honestly its hard to do things when you feel down , i hope you find joy.

rock-climbing, thats definitely something that takes your mind off things

Take on a new hobby. Mine is putting puzzles together and posting them on my walls in my room.

Going to the beach and soaking up the sun! The vitamin D we get from sunlight has been shown to have impacts on mood and depression. It's why some people get "addicted" to tanning. Obviously you should wear sunblock and keep from burning. I've written some helpful self-help articles on my website, jpcounseling.com

Marina, thanks! That sounds like a good idea. You may want to ask an admin before posting a link to your website, to see if it's ok.

I feel better when i do exercise because exercise makes me fresh and reduces my stress. When i feel bad i go out of home and do some exercise. So exercise makes me happy.

playing video games. watching movies.
they both put you in another place.

I will add, being happy seems to be so associated
with control /to have control of your own
environment, finances, etc.

the thought of knowing that my ex-husband of 18 years still loves me even though we aren't together

Everyone has its own style and i have my own satisfaction and i like to do walk when i am depressed and sometimes i like to sleep when i don't feel better and after doing that i feel comfortable and it makes me better.
