Everyone has days when they are not feeling like themselves. You may just be hanging out around your house, and suddenly you just get really sad for seemingly no reason at all. Maybe you just need a little pick me up to help you feel more awake. Here are some things that can help you when you are feeling a little down in the dumps or are just looking to relax:

1. Take a hot shower.

You can never go wrong with taking a hot shower when you are feeling blue. Grab your best smelling soap and favorite shampoo and turn on some happy music. You will feel better in no time. (Plus, you get all your best ideas in the shower. Well, at least I do.)

2. Put on your favorite outfit and take yourself on a date.

It is a fact that you automatically feel better when you are dressed in something that makes you feel beautiful. Putting on your favorite clothes and going out is much better than moping around the house! Take yourself to your favorite restaurant or go get your nails done. You will be looking hot and soon you will be feeling hot too!

3. Put in a funny movie.

Watching a hilarious movie that you know will make you smile is bound to cheer you up. You can go on Netflix or even go out to the theatre if a new one just came out. Laughter is the best medicine after all!

4. Call up some friends!

Good friends can definitely brighten up your day. See if any of them want to go for an ice cream or want to go bowling. If you are in the mood to just call someone and rant, I am sure you can find a friend who will listen to your frustrations.

5. Take a walk.

Studies have proven that taking a walk can help you feel better. LISTEN TO SCIENCE! Go to a safe and secure location to take a walk and you will be feeling more relaxed than before!

6. Eat a healthy snack and drink some water.

I know it is tempting to sit there and eat Oreo's and drink soda all day, but that will make you feel even more sluggish. (This one is still hard for me.) Try drinking water and eating some hummus. That is a much healthier option and one that won't come back to haunt you!

7. Read an interesting book.

Delve into another world through a book that captures your imagination. Your brain will be working but in a good way! Hopefully, your negative thoughts will subside as your attention is focused on your book.

Hope this helps!
