Here are some ideas to help kick a rotten día to kingdom come…
Do something good for someone else, even though tu may not want to. Do a favour, help them find something, give them an item which will help them in some way. Start the flow of positive energy.
Eat the best chocolate tu can get your hands on. In bed. o in the bath.
Turn up música tu really love. Play it so loudly that it soaks in through your skin. Dance in your pyjamas. Feel the pain lift.
Have a romance in your head.
Volunteer.
Buy a remote control for your camera & dip your toes into the pool of narcissism.
Call a friend & ask them if they want to have a slumber party.
Throw yourself head-first into a creative project. Something that you’re excited about but which feels a little too big for you. You’ll be so consumed por it that it will fuel tu for ages.
Do the splits. o at least try. (Be gentle though!)
Sing. Loudly. Badly. Off-key. Whatever tu like. It works. The last time I was on my way somewhere really nerve-wracking, I was in a cab. The radio was playing & I was so anxious that the only way I could distract myself was por canto along. Loudly. The driver probably thought I was a total nut but I didn’t care & it did the trick!
Cover your entire body in cacao mantequilla & fall asleep.
Drink 2 litres of fizzy drink (pop, soda, tu know) & stay up until sunrise.
Write a lista of things that tu appreciate right now, in the present moment. Focus on each of them & let the amor inside tu well up. Even when things appear to be going really, really badly, there are always things to be happy about. (That’s one of the reasons why we do Things I amor Thursday — to help bring your attention back to the positive.)
Indulge in your “guilty pleasures”, whatever they are. (Old episodes of America’s siguiente parte superior, arriba Model, ginger ale, chocolate cake, romantic comedies, etc.)
Send a text message to one of the most interesting people tu know — maybe someone tu don’t know that well, just to say hello.
Order delivery food, just to bask in the glory of the fact that if tu pay people, they will come to your door. With food. Warm, good food. What an age we live in, huh?
Look through old photos. With a friend if possible. If it’s an old friend, tu can reminisce (“Oh my god, do tu remember when we did that?!”), & if it’s a new friend, tu can tell grand stories (“Well, let me tell tu about this guy…”).
Listen to old Motown hits. Come up with dance moves. Wear something sparkly & work it out. (DJ Z-Trip’s Motown Breakdown is an excellent time, too.)
Write a gruellingly personal entry for your blog dissecting every aspect of the situation which has upset tu so much. Post it, don’t post it, whatever, just get it out of your system.
Plan a holiday.
Write a ridiculous online dating perfil & marvel at the people who come out of the woodwork. (“Oh, a threesome with tu & your wife in New Jersey? Sign me up!”)
Spend an hora in your variety store of choice, set yourself a budget ($20?) & buy some junk. Lip treatments, candy, maybe an exfoliating scrub… Then go inicial & play with your new purchases. There’s a reason it’s called retail therapy, tu know (though of course, it doesn’t last).
Wear a fake moustache all day.
Think up nicknames for all your friends, then send them each postcards to alert them.
Think back on the last really good sex tu had. Think about it for an hour. Then do something else.
Go out for a milkshake.
Appreciate the dinosaur bones at your favourite museum.
Grab a friend, dress up like tourists & go & do all the really schlocky things on offer in your city. Take LOTS of photos, & be sure to flash the peace sign in 70% of them.
Stick little crystals on something tu use every day. (Wallet, light-switch, key-ring, boots?)
Buy a new pair of sunglasses o non-prescription frames. It’s a super-easy (& often relatively cheap) way to evolve your look. Plus sunglasses make for excellent on-the-fly disguises.
Go to a yoga class. Surrender & breathe deep.
Put on your favourite pair of high heels & walk up & down your bedroom/hallway doing your best Miss J impersonation. Have a friend o neighbour who is willing to humour tu offer critique. “Girl, tu walk like a busted-down freight-train.”
Write multiple lists of everything tu want. Material possessions, relationships, work, lifestyle, everything. Pin them up por your door so tu see them all the time.
Go through Urban Dictionary & find some fun/ridiculous new words to add to your vocabulary.
Make yourself the biggest helado sundae you’ve ever seen. Decorate it with hot dulce de azúcar, fudge sauce, whipped cream, sprinkles, nonpareils, whatever tu like. Take a photo. Give it a name (“Jane’s Orgasmatron Cardiac Arrest Sundae”). Devour. Maybe without using your hands. Take a foto of that too.
Get your eyebrows shaped.
Spend an hora in a department store sniffing perfume samples. When tu find something tu like, spray it on a card & drop it in your purse.
Try break-dancing.
Watch videos of flamboyant, successful people like Elton John o Michael Jackson & marvel.
Eat animal crackers.
Drink through a straw all day. If tu get your hands on a straw which matches your outfit, so much the better.
Plan a party with a theme that makes tu feel really, really happy.
Write a letter to yourself in the future. Then hide it. Maybe in the pocket of a capa tu never, ever wear.
Leave the house wearing just fabulous ropa interior underneath a coat. With heels. (Note: if tu are a man tu may get accused of being a flasher if tu do this. The world is cruel sometimes.)

Go wig shopping.
Choose a festival (SXSW? Burning Man? Coachella? Wave-Gotik-Treffen?) to go to, invite some friends, & start making plans.

Listen to Never Better por P.O.S. from start to finish & revel in what a great album it really is.
Load up your ipod & go for a walk through your favourite park.

Make a video diary.
Answer preguntas with questions.
Try on a pair of really, really expensive shoes & act like you’ll be back tomorrow, but you’re just going to go inicial & think about it. (Bonus points: take a foto of tu in them. Often tu will need to be stealthy about this but it’s worth doing.)

Flirt with entirely inappropriate people.
