10 Ways to Cheer You Up

So, it’s Dead Week and I’m stress sick and I’m 90% sure I’m getting my period and the Apocalypse will probably happen because it’s one of those weeks.

Therefore I need some cheering up and I’m sure you do too!

10 Ways to Cheer Up When Life Seems Pretty Bleak

1. Throw yourself a dance party

Sometimes you just need to crank up the tunes and dance out that bleary mood! Turn up some funky music and get out your best moves while you let out any negative energy. And if you’ve got some friends also pretty down (it’s Dead Week, invite everyone you know) then you guys can all crank it out together!

2. Take an hour to do your favourite past time

Sometimes taking an hour out of your busy schedule and doing something you enjoy can turn your frown upside down. Whether it’s designing groovy stuff in Photoshop, getting your Sims dream house on, writing a chapter in the next great American novel or eating Cheetos in front of the TV, getting an hour of fun time is important in getting your mood to boost.

3. Make an ice cream dream

Ice cream. Fudge sauce. Toppings. You get the picture.

4. Binge watch that TV

We all know that some binge TV is a cure to any bad mood. Find your favourite Netflix show and watch a few hours. Watch that stress melt away. And your brain becoming slightly more addicted to television…

5. Get some sunshine

Fun fact: Vitamin D improves your mood! Even just a few minutes in the sunshine can give your smile a boost and it just feels really nice on your skin. Make sure to put on your SPF 100 to make sure you don’t get skin cancer. That will ruin your mood.

7. Find something that makes you happy

For me, I like to grab the box of letters from family members and friends that I received on my 18th birthday. It reminds me that I’m loved and brings a smile every time!
