Give suggestions on small/cheap/free ideas, to help us feel good, or even treat some of them as 'rewards'.
Face mask Paint your nails Drawing Painting Writing Go out and take scenic pictures Have a bubble bath Take a walk Listen to your favourite up-beat music and dance like no tomorrow Sing along to your favourite music Buy a new CD/DVD/movie/video game Go see a movie Go to the beach Go to the park Buy that new T-Shirt you wanted Buy a new app for your Android/iPhone Play a video/computer/mobile phone game (may I suggest www.transformice.com, it's so simple yet so fun)

What I usually do is.. When I haven't had the most productive day and I feel kind of bad about just sitting on my *** the whole day - I give myself a little goal. Something I can achieve. Whether it is to help a friend or some stranger or go and walk three miles or cook dinner. Or even get to another level on WoW. And I always feel ten times better after achieving that goal - no matter how small it was to begin with. The feeling of pride is the key.

Just plain remind yourself every minute that you are okay!
You are okay! You are okay! You are okay! It works. Who else is going to tell us, sometimes? We have to tell ourselves we are okay. Esp when we believe we are not okay. Billi

Not really, it's OK to not be OK, and you're entitled to complain :P If you do that, then that's where you're going wrong. My DBT therapist tells me off all the time for just pretending to myself that I'm fine.

I also watch Disney movies.
 Or just like.. Children movies. Because those are easy to understand (so you don't have to put much thought to what's going on) and they're really just feel-good type movies. My fav are Winnie the Pooh and Lion King.or I'll watch something that's guaranteed to make me laugh.

Remind myself that life only s*cks one day at a time. Get out of my home, call a good friend, and watch a movie with a lot of action.

I got one:
tell yourself today is a new day. It's a cliche, but it worked today. I did not feel like going to my meeting today and I went anyway. "Just because I had some rotten days last week does not mean they will always be rotten!" I laughed at myself, too, for generalizing my life agian. Billi

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
