Treat yourself to a shopping day
It's common to hear of people going shopping after a long day and referring to the practice as "retail therapy". There's just something about buying a sassy new outfit that can save any bad day. In my opinion this works because when someone has a bad day it usually has to do with something out of their control, but when using the retail therapy approach you have control and change your whole image at your own will. Retail therapy also acts as a distraction, it keeps your mind busy from the issue that is truly stressing you out. While I don't recommend retail therapy as a daily method to relieving stress, once in awhile a little retail therapy can go a long way to drastically improve your mood.
There's something about shopping that really boosts my happiness. It's not really the part about spending money, it's just going out and doing something different! Definitely would not do it as daily method of relieving stress though, I'd become too poor!
