18 Ways to Cheer Yourself up Instantly


1. Accept your emotions. Sadness, fear, anxiety, fatigue, a bad day … it is what it is. Give yourself the permission to be human.

2. Talk to someone you love. Whether it is a close friend, your SO, your mother, call that person who’s always there for you and let them know you could use a little cheering up.

3. Catch up with an old friend.

4. Take a walk outside, get some fresh air, haste slowly and look at your surroundings with curious eyes.
 

5. Watch the Muppets, a funny movie, or just this video:


6. Put some music on to uplift your spirit. Listen to something inspiring and upbeat.

7. Cook yourself your favorite meal.

8. Write, sing, paint; do any creative work.

9. Make – and chase – some bubbles.

10. Exercise or dance. Any physical activity will do. It will get your endorphins going.

11. Cheer someone else up.

12. Hug! Hug someone, even a stranger. Hugs release endorphins too.

13. Hang out – preferably play – with kids.

14. Pamper yourself: take a long hot shower or bath, a nap, allow yourself to be lazy.

15. Make a list with everything in your life that you are grateful for, all the things you are happy about in your life.

16. Do something awesome.

17. Do a little research and blog about things to cheer yourself up.

18. Smile and remember: it’s just a bad day, not a bad life.
