  • Play sad music
  • Lay down on my couch
  • Wallow in misery for a while, probably cry. Allow myself to feel sad
  • Allowing myself to feel sad helps me accept it, and this acceptance helps me start to move past it. Bad feelings are often like weather - you just need to wait for them to pass
  • Eventually I get up and start doing something small. Nothing important, just enough to get some mental energy going again
  • Keep doing this until, eventually, I start to feel better
