40 things to do when you're feeling down

1.) Make a hot chocolate. Smother it in whipped cream.

4.) Light some candles.
5.) Open all the curtains in the house; get some light in.
6.) Put your cosiest socks on and pad around the house.
7.) Put fresh sheets on your bed.
8.) Snuggle down with a book.
9.) Make some popcorn and watch the cheesiest movie you can find.
10.) Check yo hormones: PMS can make everything feel full on shit, but I find it easier to handle when you know it's down to PMS.
11.) Eat your favourite snack.
12.) Paint your nails.
13.) Bake something you've never tried before.
14.) Grab a throw and cosy up in front of Netflix.

17.) Cuddle a pet.
18.) Cuddle a person (not quite as good as a pet, but they'll do).

20.) Open the windows and get some fresh air in.
