Feeling good Get restTiredness affects how you feel and can make things seem much more difficult than they are. So put down that games controller and get some shut-eye!Stay upbeatDon’t let those low feelings drag you down. Nip them in the bud and do something you know will cheer you up: maybe it’s playing your favourite song, going for a jog, watching your favourite film or playing some football.Have funEver heard the phrase, "laughter is the best medicine"? When you laugh, endorphins are released, meaning you’ll probably feel more relaxed and less stressed. Pretty good for a simple chuckle.Enjoy the momentBeing enthusiastic about what you’re doing, even if it’s just hanging out with friends is perfectly natural and helps you feel better. So next time you’re doing something you enjoy, take a moment to sit back and think about the experience.
