Cheering Yourself Up

[lupestripe]

In these times of economic crisis coupled with the fact that it is January, it is very easy to be infected with a sense of gloom. So how do you cheer yourself up in times like these? Usually, all I do is try and achieve more, working my tail off but even that doesn't seem to be working very well at the moment. Any tips?

I usually just make sure I get plenty of light. Whenever you do get a sunny day try and be out in it as much as you can, keep the curtains open for as long as you can, turn more lamps/lights on than you usually might. It sounds silly, but it seems to work for me when the weather actually lets it.

I have heard that light works but have not really seen the benefits as of yet. I guess it's the type of light as on grey cloudy days I usually feel terrible. I may try it though as there is something in it :)
