What are some things you guys do to get yourself out of a funk? I'm not talking about depression, that's serious business; just...whaddya do to shake off the blues?
 
The thing that usually makes me feel better is going for a run, clears the mind, but it is hard to get the motivation to do that when I'm depressed... but it does work.
 
I come to the CC forums & see what that weird married lady has posted. She always makes me smile for some demented reason. I detest and love her for that simultaneously!

When I'm in a funk, I just read some posts by MissCris... I think they cheer everybody up.
: )
 
Listen to music, talk to a friend, pray, and impulse shopping!
 
It depends. I've been in funks where no matter what I do, it only temporarily erases the funk. Once I'm done with my activities, the funk settles back in. I've found that in those cases, only time and/or a change of attitude will get me out of it.

In general though, I do these things:
- Go for a walk
- Go for a drive
- Blow bubbles
- Play guitar and sing
- Blast my music and sing
- Journal
- Draw
- Talk to a friend
- See if I can get a group of friends together to do something. Sometimes just being social helps
- Read my Bible and pray
- Watch funny videos on YouTube

:D
 
Yes ms Chris , your humor makes me
Laugh cry and smile all at the same time in case I haven't told you. :)
 
Here are some of the things I do - in no particular order:

1. read
2. swim
3. practice piano or french horn
4. write music
5. watch a movie - if I want to cheer up, I will pop in "Young Frankenstein." If I want to enjoy feeling blue for a while, I will put in "Laura" (old film noir from '40's).
6. housework
7. pray
8. prepare a few "make ahead" meals and freeze them.
9. take a walk
10. wallow in self-pity for a while.
 
Drive very fast while playing very loud music
Dance
Run
Watch a very stupid movie that makes me laugh til my stomach hurts
 
-Just praise, baby!
-Throw some plates on a barbell and squat/deadlift enough iron to make my eyes pop out
-Fill the tank, turn the key, drop the top, find a twisty road, and let her tail hang out on every corner
-Call a friend and ask if I can cook for them
-Find a pianist, or even better, a trio, and say, "Let's play some bop or some bossas."
-Karaoke bar
-Road trip
