11 Fun Things to Do When You’re Down in a Funk or Stressed Out

10. Bring Your Inner Kid Out

If we’re being honest, we’re all just kids at heart parading around in fancy suits and adult bodies. A great way to lift your spirits out is to let your inner kid out. Play some games, blow bubbles, jump on the bed, eat sugary food, color, watch cartoons – anything you want to do that would seem “childish”, do it!

11. Exercise

We can get all science-y and explain how exercise reduces cortisol and increases endorphins in your body, but the simple matter of fact that our bodies are designed to naturally feel better when we exercise. Not only will you be able to get your mind off of whatever has you down, all these good hormones aren’t a bad thing either!

Note: Depression is something serious. That is not what we’re talking about here. Feeling down once in a while because of something in your life at that moment is curable by doing fun things. Depression is something you need to get help for. Please consult a doctor, talk to your friends and family, and take care of yourself. A lot of people love and care about you, you should too!
