Feeling Down in the dumps?

Inspired by Kaz Cooke and her book Girl Stuff and my own life experience, here are ten things to help cheer you up when you're feeling down:
1. Laugh - with friends, at a movie or show.
2. Get outside - fresh air is good for you.
3. Write in your journal - make a list of things that you love and make you happy.
4. Explore your creative side - express yourself in words, music, drawing or cooking.
5. Spend some time with a four-legged friend - take a neighbour's dog for a walk if you don't have a pet.
6. Hang out with friends (you could combine this with hot chocolate or retail therapy).
7. Do good works - volunteer, help out a neighbour or at home.
8. Do some exercise - go for a walk or run, ride your bike or go to a fitness class.
9. Sort out your room - it's good for the soul.
10. Turn your music up real loud - sing like no one is listening and dance like no one is watching.
