When you're down, what do you do to pick yourself up?

I do something for someone else.

For instance when I'm feeling down in the dumps I try to get over to the local shelter and do what I can to help. Sometimes I just pop in and bring the staff donuts and the animals treats. Sometimes like today I step WAY out of my norm and go to social events like the Animal Blessings today and try to represent the shelter in a positive way. It forces me to be "social" when usually I'm not. It's SO not me because it involves small talk and "shmoozing" which I really dread. This actually does help me to feel better...not sure why exactly, but it does.
