August meme, Day 21

I still have some catch up to do with all your recent posts, but first I am going to post my answer to today's question.

21. What lifts your spirits when you’re feeling down?'Feeling down' is such a vague term, I'm not sure how to approach it. I don't really suffer from mood swings. On the whole I have a fairly equitable temperament

Keeping busy is a good way to cheer yourself up if you can I always feel.

I think you're right. Just sitting and dwelling on what you are fed up about is not helpful.

I don't really have mood swings - even at my worst its only like feeling a bit "off". I know I am really lucky, as it's pretty much an accident of birth I got my dads temperament instead of my mum's. She got very down in the winter, mainly because she was a doer, not a watcher, so found it hard to fill her time when days are short. If I am feeling a bit low, though, I have a selection of favourite books and films that make me happy to read or watch. As long as I can get lost in a story I am fine.

A good book with a nice 'happy ending' story is indeed a good remedy.

That's an excellent answer.
