Ask yourself some positive questions.
What am I Looking forward to today?
What am I Happy about in my life?
What am I Enjoying most in my life right now?
What am I Committed to in my life right now?
Who do I love?
You might look at the following strategy and think "Oh No! Not more of this simplistic - quick fix - nonsense". Please don't discard this powerful concept just because it is so SIMPLE. Simple doesn't always mean EASY. You have to apply yourself - consistentlly - with a genuine desire to improve your emotional wellbeing, THEN you will get powerful results.
Go on - Try this straightforward self help exercise – answer the questions and notice how you feel when you think about the answers……
“What am I most enjoying in my life right now?”
(as Tony says, don’t say “nothing!” Instead ask yourself “If I could be enjoying something in my life right now, what would that be?”)
Then ask yourself:
“What about that do I enjoy?”
Then ask yourself:
“How does that make me feel?”
Then next ask yourself:
“What am I most happy about in my life right now?”
Then ask yourself:
“What about that makes me feel happy?”
Notice how your emotions react to the experience of dwelling or thinking about the good and sweet things in your life. If you like the feeling and want more of it, just keep asking yourself the right questions.
Any self help tool, no matter how powerful, only works when you work it.
Also sometimes the “essence” of certain events or tangible things can be more important to how we feel than actually having more of exactly the same thing.
You don’t need to own a horse to ride one. You especially don’t need 6 horses to ride for the same experience that riding one can give you. You don’t have to own a countryside retreat to have a picnic in the countryside. You don’t even have to own a Ferrari to drive one.
There are many ways available to get the essence of what you want, that makes you feel happy. More self help on that later….
When you start each day asking yourself questions that generate a feeling of pleasure, excitement, enthusiasm, just by the act of answering them, your day gets off on the right path.
Try designing self help questions that suit your life or interests, maybe straightforward ones like
What am I excited about in my life now?
What am I grateful about in my life now?
What am I most looking forward to in my life today?
You don’t have to be a rocket scientist to apply this self help strategy, do you? All you need is the DESIRE to improve your day and then make the commitment to actually APPLY it every morning for at least 30 days. It will work.

I'm a gamer. Nothing better after a bad day then to fire up a good FPS and wipe out some bots or bad guys on the computer; or even better, clean someones clock on line. No comptuer? Not a gamer? Then I would have to agree with most everyone else. A good way to get your mind off things then is to immerse yourself in a really good book.

Go into your bathroom and draw yourself a bath! Put in some nice smelling sea salts that you like.( I like lavender myself!)
Get your portable tape player and put in a tape of some music that relaxes you and bring it in the bathroom.
Go and get some candles and turn off the bathroom lights. Get ready to get in your bath and turn on the music and you have got yourself a relaxing time that is guaranteed to melt away the stress and strain of the effects of a bad day! Enjoy!

Listen to music. Usually Taylor Swift, Simple Plan, or Rascal Flatts.

Well, when I have a losy day, I go home, take a REALLY looong bath/shower, get into my fave pj's and then read a book. You should do the 1st two, but you don;t have to read; you can talk to your friend on the phone, watch ur fave movie, etc.

Sometimes I would just sing to GOD when i am feeling really bad
or sad. Sometimes i would go ice skating or to the movies.
Sometimes i may go climb Stone Mountain "in the GA!" or go
roller skating. Or sometimes i would just call some people
and talk to them.
I hope this gave you some ideas.

Good sex or masturbation are great stress relievers. You can also try meditation, exercise, walking, listening to upbeat music that you like, or reading to name a few.
