What do you do to push your blues away?

I have heard from reading magazines and news reports the best thing for a person when they are down is to be outside and not in the home. The sunlight provides some kind of chemical imbalance and makes a person feel better. i try to get out of the house as much as I can, especially if I start feeling down. It takes my mind off of things and have to focus on other things. Playing games with family and friends helps as well or talking to family and friends or listening to music.

funny to hear but one reason to get my my blues away .... i just eat and eat and eat my favorite dishes or snacks then i will play guitar. its just so easy.. isnt it?

when i am feeling blue, i look at the scrapbook of my boyfriend and i (we live in different countries). i get to smile whenever i remember him. then, go to my room and take a short nap. after, i usually listen to music or watch films. play with my dog or log in to mylot. then, i feel better.

Sometimes just coming on mylot helps. And if that doesnt work I will try to do something for someone else. That makes me feel good. And even just a good laugh is all you need.

Right now I think that I might be getting the color of blue because it is so cold. Getting in the sun does help chase your blues away, since sunlight helps to make vitamin d. Vitamin d helps with serotonin, which makes you feel happy. I also like to see a good movie or to read a good book tp take my mind off of my problems.

I don't sit in the sun like I used to. I get just enough sun in the summer time to have a bit of color. Other than that, I'm mesquito bait! I stick my nose out the door, and they ring the lunch bell for their relatives. They suck my blood as though they haven't eaten in 6 months. When they're out, I'm NOT!

I used to go for a drive in my car as I just love to drive and I can relax there , recently I bought my hubby an exercise bike as he has had a heart op and now I have a go on this it costs nothing and I don't even have to go out in the cold lol . xx

What I do to push my blues away is get busy..really busy..blues usually come to those with too much time on their hands:)|+

I put on some music of my liking and that usually takes me out of my blues.

it would definitely be eating with people i can have good conversations with. good conversations perk me up for some reason. i love talking about things at random. even pondering on serious matters, moreso when i try to argue (in a healthy way of course) and debate with someone about something i strongly believe in. I live up to these kind of challenges. Plus, when you have good food on the table, makes everything more exciting. :) but who could also beat good company? i think those are the main ingredients to chase my blues away.

This is a fabulous discussion topic-I could use some good tips in that dept ;) +'s 4 U :)

If I'm blue, I try to do other stuff so that I don't think about whatever is bothering me. I read a book, maybe call someone, do some cleaning. Other times I do reflect on what's bothering me. If I'm REALLY down, I found that playing a video game works. Now, I hardly ever play them, so rarely that it's not even once a month, but the last time I felt like the world was crashing down on me, I played a video games and admist fighting the bad guys of the game, I forgot about my problem.

I go tanning at the tanning booth or if it's sunny I'll lay out!! I also love a good MARGARITA-that usually pushes the blues away :)OR, I go shopping either on-line or in the stores!

Read or watch a funny movie that'll make me laugh! go hang out with my friends or go to sleep because that'll make me forget my blues.

I usually go for a nice, long walk to get rid of my blues, whether at a park, neighborhood or just by walking around the mall. It gives me a chance to clear my head and get my mind off of things as well as doing some form of exercising. A nice, warm bubble bath is very relaxing and makes me feel better as well or watch a really funny movie.

Well I can be on the sun anymore, but I like your posting!+

Just scream. Then watch comedy movies. Then I laugh.

I like listening to music and dancing around the house like an idiot. Also, if you just smile, or talk like you are happy, you'd be surprised how much better you feel.
