RE: How to get out of a funk?

in #psychology7 years ago

It's funny, I was thinking of this last week. When I'm uselessly stewing in that dark mood, I typically do one of two things. First, I'll do something for someone. It's often unexpected and sometimes, just for my amusement, odd. For example, I've stayed up all night baking treats for the people in my life. The feeling of successfully accomplishing SOMETHING gives me a boost and drags me out of my funk. (Plus, getting moving is always good for the soul.) My second method is simple. I get myself to laugh. I have some of my favorite comedians and podcasts saved so that, if needed, I can queue up a better mood. After my mind has had a chance to focus on something other than what was bothering it, I can regroup and move on towards my WHY.
