I’d like to second that comment on volunteering. This weekend I was having some particularly rough PMS and in a basically horrible, low energy mood. But then I had an opportunity to help a friend clean up after a particularly large kid’s party in her yard. I was tired and sluggish but it did brighten my mood, and her appreciation and gratitude helped me feel a lot better. I could have stayed home, feeling miserable, but I’m glad I chose to go a few steps out of my way.

Sarah, what a great post about ways to feel better about yourself. I’m a believer that giving is an excellent way anyone can feel better, as well as having a heart of gratitude always. Thanks for sharing!

How about volunteerism? The best way I know to feel better is to help others feel better. I live on Long Island, which is considered a wealthy area. Yet over 90,000 children on Long Island go to bed hungry every night. What if one of them was my child? So I volunteer at the local food bank, helping to eradicate this shameful problem.

Don’t forget gratitude – be thankful for the many things you DO have. So many have so much less…

I totally agree with Kristi. Exercise is the best thing I can do for myself to feel great. Particularly doing it first thing in the morning. Starting the day with a walk, something for myself – rather than rushing off to work – has proved to be the best habit I’ve ever developed.

what about exercise? I can’t stress that enough. Whenever I don’t exercise I always feel down. Do jumping jacks, run, bike, swim, jog, strength train, anything.

Thanks Kristi, I’m glad you mentioned that. It’s SO true. Almost any bad mood can be shrugged off if you just sprint around, climb a tree, get off your butt and do something active!
