1. Talking to your best friend

You’ll feel better if you pour your heart out to someone you trust and love. Once you unload the cause of all your worries and distress, you'll immediately feel lighter and less burdened. Sometimes all you need is a shoulder to cry on.

2. Watching a Pixar or Disney movie

Pixar and Disney will never fail to cheer you up and make you laugh. Take a pick from one of your favourites and watch it.

3. Binge on some comfort food

Your favourite ice cream, a few bags of chips and shamelessly indulging in chocolate is all you need to feel better – even on the worst days of your life. Comfort food can cheer anyone up.

4. Go for paintball

Having a paintball showdown with your friends could be the answer to relieving pent up emotions.

5. Hug your mom

Is there anything your mom can’t do? Even her hugs can make you feel like there’s nothing wrong in the world.

6. Cry
