FIVE WAYS TO INSTANTLY FEEL GOOD (AskMen.com)

• Indulge in retail therapy: Retail therapy is an old tactic long associated with the female species; she’s been getting her gloom serviced by cash registers and sales racks for a long, long time. The basic idea is to buy yourself something unexpected in the hopes that it will raise your spirits.
• Phone an old friend: Catching up with an old buddy rarely fails to liberate us from the blues. It can be effective, whether you’ve been meaning to call this person for months and months but keep forgetting, or something recently reminded you of that dynamite old friendship. Now is the time not only to catch up with one another, but also rehash the good times, revel in the classic moments and retell stories you’ve told a hundred times before. When you hang up, odds are good not only will you feel cheered up, but it will do good things for your buddy too.
• Surf funny videos: You’ve got iFilm, YouTube, Yahoo, and plenty more resources to choose from where a world of morons and their moronic actions await. You can also relive some classic cinema moments from some of the funniest films ever made, such as Fast Times at Ridgemont High and American Pie.
• Play with a pet: Dogs, cats and other pets don’t know the complexities of life like we do. Their lives are simpler, they’re always ready for a good time, and they never fail to appreciate our time and attention. They have no opinion on what’s bugging you and they take no sides; they’re simply interested in hanging out with you.
• Listen to feel-good music: When it comes to music, we all have our own personal favorites — music we listen to with chronic devotion and make a part of our daily lives. It is not, however, the same music we turn to for an instant feel-good infusion — nor should it be. While music from bands like the Beach Boys come to mind, along with The Offspring, Blink 182 and even early Beatles albums, in general feel-good music is best served by bands who don’t take themselves too seriously.
