In reply to the discussion: My Problem: Any Thoughts Appreciated [View all]Here are some things that work for me:
.Do something wonderful for someone else.
.Have a bunch of neighbors or friends for brunch. Most people have stopped entertaining and people need someplace happy to go to. Entertain at least once a week. Cooking is a simple activity that makes one happy.
.Swim at an indoor pool, take a walk outside.
.Paint a room in your house like you have always wanted to.
.Take favorite photos and have them printed on canvas for inspiring gifts.
.Clean out the basement listening to classical music.
.Send money to your candidate.
.Doing things puts you forward in life, even if you are sad, you are ahead.
. You are not alone. Doctors waiting rooms are full of people who feel as you do.
