This evening my friends and I talked about 'things which cheer us up'. We'd looked online for lists of suggestions, and were not impressed at many of the the answers - a lot of ideas just looked silly to us, like "Wear a fake moustache all day". We agreed that this wouldn't cheer us up.
So we each made our own lists, and because we happen to be surprisingly alike, our lists turned out pretty much the same, even though we'd written then separately. There were some things that cheer us up which we can't control - like hearing from friends, or a sunny spring day - that is significant, but I made my list things I can actually choose when I'm having a bad day. My list:
- Puppies.
- Flowers.
- Certain movies - usually but not exclusively musicals.
- Certain books.
- Dancing.
- Writing.
- Looking at a large body of water. Or walking alongside one.
- Boating.
- Listening to birds.
- Singing.
- Looking at art and architecture.
- Redecorating, or moving furniture around.
- Looking at trees and rocks.
- Exploring a place I haven't been before.
Do you have any further suggestions?
