Here are some ideas to help kick a rotten दिन to kingdom come…
Do something good for someone else, even though आप may not want to. Do a favour, help them find something, give them an item which will help them in some way. Start the flow of positive energy.
Eat the best चॉकलेट आप can get your hands on. In bed. या in the bath.
Turn up संगीत आप really love. Play it so loudly that it soaks in through your skin. Dance in your pyjamas. Feel the pain lift.
Have a romance in your head.
Volunteer.
Buy a remote control for your camera & dip your toes into the pool of narcissism.
Call a friend & ask them if they want to have a slumber party.
Throw yourself head-first into a creative project. Something that you’re excited about but which feels a little too big for you. You’ll be so consumed द्वारा it that it will fuel आप for ages.
Do the splits. या at least try. (Be gentle though!)
Sing. Loudly. Badly. Off-key. Whatever आप like. It works. The last time I was on my way somewhere really nerve-wracking, I was in a cab. The radio was playing & I was so anxious that the only way I could distract myself was द्वारा गाना along. Loudly. The driver probably thought I was a total nut but I didn’t care & it did the trick!
Cover your entire body in कोको मक्खन & fall asleep.
Drink 2 litres of fizzy drink (pop, soda, आप know) & stay up until sunrise.
Write a सूची of things that आप appreciate right now, in the present moment. Focus on each of them & let the प्यार inside आप well up. Even when things appear to be going really, really badly, there are always things to be happy about. (That’s one of the reasons why we do Things I प्यार Thursday — to help bring your attention back to the positive.)
Indulge in your “guilty pleasures”, whatever they are. (Old episodes of America’s अगला चोटी, शीर्ष Model, ginger ale, चॉकलेट cake, romantic comedies, etc.)
Send a text message to one of the most interesting people आप know — maybe someone आप don’t know that well, just to say hello.
Order delivery food, just to bask in the glory of the fact that if आप pay people, they will come to your door. With food. Warm, good food. What an age we live in, huh?
Look through old photos. With a friend if possible. If it’s an old friend, आप can reminisce (“Oh my god, do आप remember when we did that?!”), & if it’s a new friend, आप can tell grand stories (“Well, let me tell आप about this guy…”).
Listen to old Motown hits. Come up with dance moves. Wear something sparkly & work it out. (DJ Z-Trip’s Motown Breakdown is an excellent time, too.)
Write a gruellingly personal entry for your blog dissecting every aspect of the situation which has upset आप so much. Post it, don’t post it, whatever, just get it out of your system.
Plan a holiday.
Write a ridiculous online dating प्रोफ़ाइल & marvel at the people who come out of the woodwork. (“Oh, a threesome with आप & your wife in New Jersey? Sign me up!”)
Spend an घंटा in your variety store of choice, set yourself a budget ($20?) & buy some junk. Lip treatments, candy, maybe an exfoliating scrub… Then go घर & play with your new purchases. There’s a reason it’s called retail therapy, आप know (though of course, it doesn’t last).
Wear a fake moustache all day.
Think up nicknames for all your friends, then send them each postcards to alert them.
Think back on the last really good sex आप had. Think about it for an hour. Then do something else.
Go out for a milkshake.
Appreciate the dinosaur बोन्स at your favourite museum.
Grab a friend, dress up like tourists & go & do all the really schlocky things on offer in your city. Take LOTS of photos, & be sure to flash the peace sign in 70% of them.
Stick little crystals on something आप use every day. (Wallet, light-switch, key-ring, boots?)
Buy a new pair of sunglasses या non-prescription frames. It’s a super-easy (& often relatively cheap) way to evolve your look. Plus sunglasses make for excellent on-the-fly disguises.
Go to a yoga class. Surrender & breathe deep.
Put on your favourite pair of high heels & walk up & down your bedroom/hallway doing your best Miss J impersonation. Have a friend या neighbour who is willing to humour आप offer critique. “Girl, आप walk like a busted-down freight-train.”
Write multiple lists of everything आप want. Material possessions, relationships, work, lifestyle, everything. Pin them up द्वारा your door so आप see them all the time.
Go through Urban Dictionary & find some fun/ridiculous new words to add to your vocabulary.
Make yourself the biggest आइस क्रीम sundae you’ve ever seen. Decorate it with hot ठगना, हेराफेरी sauce, whipped cream, sprinkles, nonpareils, whatever आप like. Take a photo. Give it a name (“Jane’s Orgasmatron Cardiac Arrest Sundae”). Devour. Maybe without using your hands. Take a चित्र of that too.
Get your eyebrows shaped.
Spend an घंटा in a department store sniffing perfume samples. When आप find something आप like, spray it on a card & drop it in your purse.
Try break-dancing.
Watch वीडियो of flamboyant, successful people like Elton John या Michael Jackson & marvel.
Eat animal crackers.
Drink through a straw all day. If आप get your hands on a straw which matches your outfit, so much the better.
Plan a party with a theme that makes आप feel really, really happy.
Write a letter to yourself in the future. Then hide it. Maybe in the pocket of a कोट आप never, ever wear.
Leave the house wearing just fabulous लेडीज़ इनवेअर underneath a coat. With heels. (Note: if आप are a man आप may get accused of being a flasher if आप do this. The world is cruel sometimes.)
Pull a Kid CuDi & announce your retirement from the world of something. Like cooking, या vocal communication. Announce your unretirement whenever आप feel like it.
Buy a harmonica & annoy the hell out of everyone while आप learn how to play it.
Go wig shopping.
Choose a festival (SXSW? Burning Man? Coachella? Wave-Gotik-Treffen?) to go to, invite some friends, & start making plans.
Add diamantes to your manicure.
Hula hoop.
Buy some really good art for your walls. Posters, prints, original artwork या other. If you’re feeling impoverished, go to the library, check out some art books, then take huge, great quality photocopies at a copy shop.
Listen to Never Better द्वारा P.O.S. from start to finish & revel in what a great album it really is.
Load up your आइपॉड & go for a walk through your favourite park.
Visit a cool toy store & make your friend a surprise package.
Reach out to the people who inspire आप but who don’t know आप exist.
Write the birthdays of your personal हीरोस in your planner & work out a way to honour them on that day.
Pie.
Colour your hair. (You can always dye it back.)
Notice where आप hold tension in your body, & let it go.
Visit some kind of religious institution & observe a service.

Be graceful.
Be graceless.
Make a video diary.
Answer सवालों with questions.
Try on a pair of really, really expensive shoes & act like you’ll be back tomorrow, but you’re just going to go घर & think about it. (Bonus points: take a चित्र of आप in them. Often आप will need to be stealthy about this but it’s worth doing.)
Record yourself trying to recite the alphabet while vigorously brushing your teeth.
Flirt with entirely inappropriate people.
Sing into your friend’s answering machine. (If you’re in the USA & use Slydial, it will take आप straight to their voicemail.)
Pour पेनकेक्स in the shape of your initials. Eat them while watching aerobics on television.
Make फ्रेंड्स with your neighbours.
Think about how great it would be to name a shaggy dog “Toupee”.

Be optimistic.

Go to an aquarium & take चित्रो of the jellyfish.
