I need an attitude adjustment

[wowhead]

I've been in a really bad mood for over a week and it really needs to stop.  What do you do to dig yourself out of being a grumble butt?

Doing something nice for someone usually helps me.

[lilybug]

Wine. Chocolate. Mini-vacation in a nearby city. I hope you feel better, funks suck.

[spitforspat]

When I get in that type of funk I need to do something I can feel good about. Exercise, pay bills, clean the house, make a fancy dinner and do the dishes, etc.

I hope you feel better.

If I have the $, I try to stay at a hotel nearby for the night (even if it's just in my city) and play tourist/use their A/C. If I don't, I run or watch some really great (read: terrible) TV alone in my room.

[madringal]

Exercise, lots of it. Preferrably outside. Clean my house. Like obnoxiously clean, open the windows, fresh sheets for everyone. Then bake something amazing, and don't share

Paying bills puts me in a funk:-/

It would make me happy if they would make skunk scented checks.

LOL. Selfish, party of one.

No, really. I go someplace quiet and read a good book, get a pedicure, or do something else (depending on our budget) that is somehow pampering or relaxing.

Exercise always immediately puts me in a better mood. Being productive around the house, crafting, and reading.

[berbles]

Write down 3-5 things I'm grateful for each night before bed. It can really shift my perspective.

[speckledfrog]

If it's a minor stress kind of thing I youtube cute animal videos and/or meditation videos.

If it's more of an ongoing thing I find that it's usually because I'm feeling out of control or overwhelmed in some way and work to address that. Typically cleaning or organizing my space works well. Sometimes I made to do lists to help my brain calm down.

[sparkythelawyer]

I dress up. I wear something that makes me feel good when I wear it.

I get a haircut, dye my hair and get a pedicure.

I do something nice for someone else. It really does help to do something nice for someone.

And I try to make myself remember that even if I am hating on myself right now, others still think I'm pretty ok

Like me. I think you're pretty fantastic :-)

It usually happens when I'm burned out so it's about figuring out some 'me' time: Getting outside for a walk if the weather's nice. Bubble bath. Going out to a coffee place with my Kindle. Picking up dinner that night instead of making it. Writing in a journal a bit (gratitude thoughts, whining, etc)

If the house or work desk is a mess, cleaning helps me feel like things are under control again.

Spa days (body wrap, massage, facial) and vacations are the best, but hard on the budget lol.

[stellas]

Clean (gets the aggression out and I feel productive), get outside.

[schitzengiggles]

Three things: Exercise. Wine. Sleep. In that order.

COKE COCK!

[wysiwyg]

Alone time at a favorite restaurant.

A nice, winding drive. No gps, only ADVENTURE.

Doing something productive. Ex: purging random crap from the house.

[wowhead]

So far I've put a piece of pumpkin pie with whipped cream into my face. I'm trying to finish up a little bit of work that has been hanging over my head and then I'm going to take a long nap with my cuddle kitty.
