I like to listen to music and get away from the world when I am feeling blue. Sometimes I just curl up in a big ball and go to sleep. I like also to go to the beach or for a nice walk in the park. I try and surround myself with beauty that is in life on an everyday basis. It is always there if you look for it.

do you also love escaping when you want to get rid of this blues, like travelling from one place to another?

I am in a fairly remote area so traveling is not really much of an option, that is why I like to go to the beach or some bushland

I like to exercise especially when I'm down or feeling blue. I guess by running I feel that I'm doing something productive and mind-clearing. It helps take my mind off my problem and focus on something else. Then when I do starting thinking about my problems again, I look at them with a renewed energy and try to find solutions to my feelings.

yeah,many people can feel blue because of something or nothing.It is also happened to me.It's a good idea to share with friends.And sometimes I'd like to write diaries or post some on my blog.They help a lot.
