How do you cheer yourself up after a rough day? Or a rough year? (lemmy.world)

Starting to feel crushed by the weight of the world, riddled with guilt and disappointment in myself over my choices. Nothing I can do about the past though.

What are some of the ways you guys get yourselves out of a bad headspace?

Prior to my health and endurance being absolutely wrecked in the past year, I used to run. Ran as hard as I could through the fields near where I lived until my legs would die, all in the chase for that runner's high; but when it did hit, it was good. Nowadays I can't run as much, so I'm still trying to find new outlets, one of which has been messing with my selfhosted setup, another being writing paragraphs on lemmy lol.

Also, certain video game soundtracks evoke feelings of catharsis and calm for me, so there's also that.
