What do you do when you're feeling down?

How do you improve your mood when you're in a funk (aside from skiing)?

Just curious...

Breathe.... deeply. That usually leads to a few yoga poses.

smoke a fatty. watch some cartoons.

i just go play with my kids. nothing makes you get over your own problems quicker than watching two kids argue over who gets to hold a rock. or some other inane bs.

Coming down off of your rocky mtn high?

Anything that gets your blood flowing. Even a quick walk around the block, it's a nice day today.

I do something active outside. The less I do outside the more funked out I get.

Outside work or golf or biking ----------but one of my best funk destroyers is to strap on my Gibson or Fender turn the amp and effect pedals up to a decibel level that breaks friggin glass and crank out some kik ass rock ! Guaranteed to put a smile back on my face :>)
