When you are sad or worried, what makes you happy?

[camellia0]

I try to focus on positive things and I listen to happy, uplifting music.

[hkckk5]

If i get sad i too will listen to music. I also try to keep myself busy on my ipad writing poems or songs which i give to my grandchildren.

Listening to music - going for a walk....things like that

[snuggleycutejc]

I take a bath.

[renee10]

I listen to music or read a book.

[Yukichan77]

Talking things over with family or friends makes me feel better.

music is always relaxing...but seeing my 2 grandbabies makes me really happy..

[bremer51]

I go to the garden and pull weeds, trim foliage, and dig in the dirt.

My dogs always made me feel better, but they're both gone now. 
I have a cat but she isn't the cuddly type.

Funny how many people said music because that is often what helps me.  Other things that help a bit is a good, involving movie or a long, refreshing shower using my best great smelling body wash and lotions.  As long as the weather is fairly good, a nice walk in a beautiful setting or visiting the water can be relaxing for me. If I can concentrate at all, a good, immersive read can also be helpful.

I revisit happy memories like vacations, wonderful dinners, milestones achieved, and how good my life has been in general. I reflect on all that I have and the many achievements my children have accumulated. I look forward to happy events in the future like retirement my children graduating/getting married/having my grand children. I walk and hug my dogs. I look at my investment portfolios and try to determine if there ae any deficiencies or areas that need strengthening. I work out. I call old friends. I volunteer at centers for the less fortunate which always seems to put sadness and worry into perspective. I go for a bike ride ar a journey in my jeep with the top down, ear phones in and loud music playing. I am thankful that I am too busy to be worried or sad.

I don't know that anything exactly changes my sadness and worry into happiness. To tolerate it or survive it I pray and that is all I know to do.

[BATISTAGIRL663]

when i am down and out i like to listen to music and clean just helps me focus on whats real and important

[sak4kat]

I pray - delve into the Bible more.... catch up on Sermons on behind on.  Listen to music.  Bake and decorate with new ingredients or techniques I've been wanting to learn about.  I move the attention to something positive.  Sadness is always there... just try to not dwell on it and let it consume me.

When I realize that I woke up this morning, I know it's going to be a good day.  Don't sweat the little stuff.  And it's pretty much all little stuff.  Bottom line, if someone is determined to find something to be upset about, they will succeed.  If they are determined to find something to be happy about, they will succeed.
