What are some things you do to lift your spirits?

With the Monday rush now behind us, I (Sethia) think this is the perfect opportunity to revel in some ‘me time’! On that note, I’ve got a question for you: What are some things you do to lift your spirits? It can be anything from watching the footy finals with your mates to baking a scrumptious dessert that tastes like heaven on a plate. Share some of your mood-boosting tips with us below!

Get out in the garden = bare footed and literally getting my hands in the earth - this close contact with nature soothes me no end.
 
Listening to Elvis Presley music always helps me calm down and destress. Also closing my eyes and taking in deep breaths
 
Just being with friends a glass of wine and a funny movie.
 
Believe it or not cooking. When I need to get my mind of stuff I will cook up a storm
