Don't really have anything to add. What would you do or get to give yourself a pick me up when times are a bit tough?

Plan a holiday/theatre trip/weekend away.

I go walking with friends. Anything from 3-12 miles.

I've managed to build up a collection of people who enjoy a walk, and I end up walking with at least 6 different people a week (some have dogs, some don't). My mental health has never been so good.

Cook a curry

Or wine

Depends on lead up and day of the week

Long walk in on the beach. On sunny day when its about 25 degrees. Shoes off, dipping my toes in the waves.

Multiple bags of crisps.
Sit and stuff my face watching crappy you tubes.

I used to buy stationery! In the days when I used a Filofax, not an iPhone, I would buy more inserts. I would also buy post it notes and note books, file dividers. I can feel myself getting happier as I write this.

Yarn and a knitting pattern (preferably a free online one), and time spent with my knitting group.
