#1 Tell someone you miss them.
Do it in a quirky, creative way. Maybe send them a string of emojis they need to decode. A goofy knock-knock joke? A sad but funny GIF? It's always good to do something for others, even when you're down.
#2 Rest up.
Make sure you're getting enough sleep to function properly! Nap buddies are highly encouraged.
#3 Get (and give) a virtual hug.
Sometimes it's nice to know that there are people out there just being nice for no reason. "The Nicest Place on the Internet" is a fun site solely dedicated to sharing hugs and support online.
#4 Make art.
Turn your sadness into creative fuel. Write down your feelings. Paint your emotions. Create a comic book with YOU as the hero, conquering the blues.
#5 Look up Instagram pics of your favorite place on earth.
It's so easy just use Gramfeed to search by tag
#6 Track your mood.
Sometimes it's helpful to see whether you feel down at specific times of the day, month, or year. If you can understand what triggers make you feel down, you can better work to avoid or combat them. Apps like MoodPanda can help you do just that!
#7 Buy some cheap flowers.
Sometimes, treating yourself to a tiny luxury can lift a weight off your shoulders.
#8 Post a #tbt, even if it isn’t Thursday.
Post a pic that recalls a special memory with someone. A quick reminisce can always lighten your mood. (And when lots of people like your stuff, that also feels kinda nice.)
#9 Eat well.
Not getting enough healthy fats or calories in general can mess up your body's balance. If you hit a slump around the same time every day, see if having a healthy snack might pep you right up.
#10 Make your workspace a happy place.
If you're feeling down because a lack of creativity, make your workspace your happy place you want to be in. Flowers are a bonus!
#11 Reread a book you remember loving as a kid.
What was that one book that allowed you to disappear?
