What's your 'instant cheer up'?

[Nidoking's iconNidoking]

Something you can always rely on to make you feel better, even if only a little bit. "Family" and "friends" are a very valid answer, but if that is your answer, are there any things outside of that for you?

Besides my loved ones, it's water. Floating in water, relaxing in water, etc. It's just... very soothing.

 

[Nebulon_Galaxy]

Cleaning my house, even if its already clean. It puts me in a zen state of mind same with looking through my games and looking at their contents.

 

[Bakuma1997]

A Nice anime resume next to a snack always does the trick after a bad day, if i want some variety, i listen to some Weird Al or whatever my randomized playlist spits

Also taking some laps around my streets

Drawing for me always did the job in general (either IRL or digital drawing).

 

[Waffles's iconWaffles]

Hugging my dog.

I don't know why it happens, but she's so soft and nice, she immediately makes me happy.

 

[Sunnyside]

Playing an instrument. Usually I default to guitar, but piano or drums will do the trick too.

 

[Burzuru]

200 mg of caffeine

 

[zacharinolongpants]

A power nap, playing guitar, playing through some Mega Man X or Donkey Kong Country game, and Mexican food help me bounce back lol.

These goobers for sure! A nice long walk on a hiking trail whilst listening to music also does wonders :3

 

[Pearly]

Cleaning my house, even if its already clean. It puts me in a zen state of mind same with looking through my games and looking at their contents.

Same, except I put it off as much as possible, like I forget that zen cleaning state exists till it happens again.

That and floating in water is pretty great too. I miss having a bath in my house so much

 

[Yousef]

Listening to SOAD and drinking tea.

 

[PrismRed]

Hugs and/or headpats specifically from mum.
In a case where mum isn't available, video games really, or just drive around aimlessly alone.

[Tonberry]

Going on walks, cleaning my place, dressing properly even if I’m not going anywhere, and showering early instead of late always makes me feel a thousand times better than falling back into goblin mode.

 

[RanmyakuIchi's icon RanmyakuIchi RanmyakuIchi]

Anything Miku related.

 

[Cosmiken]

It's pretty nice when it's raining because then I'm fully validated to be hanging out inside, full cozy status with cats and a blanket that looks like a tortilla.

 

[GardeniaSky's icon GardeniaSky GardeniaSky]

My cat coming to lay on my lap. He gives me slow blinks and happy sighs when he settles in.
