I’m struggling to find joy in anything at the moment. What do you do to give yourself a boost when you are feeling low?

Going to the gym. Need the fuckers running the show to get them open.

I buy myself a bunch of flowers, always cheers me up a bit.

A nice piece of cake. Unfortunately I've done rather a lot of cheering myself up with cake recently and now I'm struggling to do my jeans up 🙄

Sitting in the garden with a cup of tea.

Lighting a scented candle and curling up on the sofa to read.

Having a hot bath with bath salts and essential oils.

Going on a walk and listen to a podcast at the same time.

Cup of tea and a book.

I like tending to my house plants. That makes me smile.

Most of my things tend to be related to food at the moment:

  • Breakfast and lazy morning in bed
  • Fancy breakfast (pancakes, French toast or frozen pastries warmed up with nice tea/coffee/juice)
  • Treating myself to an ice cream
  • "Buffett dinner" basically antipasti - fancy cheese, meats, olives etc. and, if I wasn't pregnant, washed down with some fancier than usual wine
  • Making lists to help me feel more organised (current lists include present ideas for various family members, christmas 2020 planning, and meal planning for the week)
  • And agree with @Pepperwand on going for a walk and listening to a podcast at the same time

Knitting, crochet, wine and socially distanced contact with friends.
