It's no secret that we all suffer from those days where we just feel completely and utterly sorry for ourselves. Whether that be for a good reason or not, we all go through these days where we just think 'what's the point?', and it's ok to feel this way sometimes. Today I thought that I would share with you guys some of the little things I do to cheer myself up and get my mojo back! Hopefully some of these will work for you as well.
- Watch YouTube videos - these always put a smile on my face.
- Gossip with my friends - either in real life or via group chat!
- I grab my favourite food or something I'm craving for that particular day (which always happens) and then I sit in front of the TV watching something that I love - ahh bliss!
- I like to make a list of everything that I'm grateful for in my life - this may sound strange but I promise you will end up smiling as there is a lot in our lives to smile about.
- Do something I love i.e. Go shopping, for a meal, to the cinema, etc. This will give you an excuse to dress up and feel good about yourself.
- I love to browse various clothing sites (ASOS, Topshop, Missguided, etc.) even if I can't afford to buy anything, I like the satisfaction of adding items to my wishlist - no idea why!?
- Cooking can always be great for putting you in a better mood as it's very distracting, I like to bake something sweet whether that be a cake or some mini cookies.
- Reading - sitting down with a great book and immersing yourself into the world that you're reading always helps me as I'm not thinking about myself or the problem that has arisen.
- Have a bath - there really is nothing better than pampering yourself when you're not feeling your best. Maybe light some candles too and get the relaxing ambiance going!
- Smile. Force yourself too. This sounds silly but when you force yourself to smile you instantly feel a little better than you did before, so try it and humour me.
What's your favourite thing to do when you're in a bad mood?xoxo

I enjoy them so much! You always know you've been in one for too long when the water gets cold haha! I've never tried anything from Lush before but everyone raves about it so I might get a Christmas edition one! :) xo
DeleteAw this is such a lovely post Charlotte! To cheer myself up I'll give myself a bit of a pamper and paint my nails and/or put on a face mask and when I go home from uni I love to have a bath and catch up with my favourite Youtube channels whilst I soak haha :) x
