For those of you who are single, you have had to cope with situations, and problems that would have leveled a weak couple... (lol), but You have come up with solutions for ___________________.
If it is a low budget for needs/wants, an ingenious way to earn (legally) a little extra money, or a making due with a shortage of food. How do you break out of the blues?, What 'mantra' do you use to keep on keeping on? What do you do to cheer yourself up?



Putting fresh flowers all through the house is a good way to bring a plesant smell and vision.

I write.

I watch chick flicks and cry if im sad, if im ticked i workout harder than usual and crank slipknot or Metallica.

I take something apart - car , motorcycle, computer - and put it back together. If that's somehow not available, then I solve mathematical equations. My mind is completely occupied and those times I can only hear what I want to hear and things like women, girlfriend, dating, relationships couldn't be farther in my thoughts.

I take my dog out for a walk, come back, hug her, and spend time with her. This has the benefit of calming things and the bonus of getting licks from her.

I watch comadies

Hmm.... depends.

When i'm overly stressed out I tend to sleep alot.

If it's something like painting the living room, i'll get fed up and do it myself. I tend to do things myself rather than wait forever for someone else to do it.

I crank the stereo until nothing exists in the world except a wall of sound. My neighbors love me for that, I can tell from their fond glares as they walk by on the sidewalk.

I put on music an dance around my bedroom.

I call some one

and

say

TIME TO TALK!!!!!

I kinda retreat from the world, climb in my big comfy bed with tons of pillows and get unconditional love from my baby girl Jazzy. Nothing like an adorably cute and fuzzy dog's nuzzles and smoochies to bring my out of my funk!

Drink about 3 coffees go to the gym put my mp3 player on and workout until I'm exausted.

I practice my swordsmanship, or go for a long motorcycle ride. The single minded determination needed for both activities clears my head.

I read something that is going to transport me away from all the bullshyt for a while. Never underestimate the power of a good fantasy world.

Lets see first of all I tell myself that no matter how hard things get someone has it harder...... I do something else that gets my mind off of feeling that way.......like yard work it is the best therapy there is for me. I get out and mow front & back and then pull weeds & pick up twigs..........

After all that a nice hot shower something to eat then I may even kick back and make me a drink....... It works every time...
