It's an 'excedrin for breakfast' kind of day.

I have had to resort to pulling out  the big guns in order to energize myself: my playlist of the  bounciest, peppiest, most hair-sprayed pop queens of the eighties.  We're talking Samantha Fox and Bananarama here. And as I groove in my desk chair to Naughty Girls Need Love Too, my thoughts turn to cataloging my mood-lifting strategies.  Caffeination is probably what I resort to most often, but that's a habit I've been attempting to break since I finished my coursework.

My current repertoire includes:
  • Tackling my dearest and demanding a detailed account of all the ways in which I am completely awesome.
  • A snack and a big glass of water.  Dehydration and low blood sugar are frequent culprits.
  • Calling the Sororal Unit. 
  • Consuming a funny book or tv show.
  • Rhythm games like DDR or Rock Band. (Especially playing the drums.
  • Playing with the cats. 
There's some overlap here with the things I do to relax (listen to soothing music or rainstorm nature sounds, knitting, meditation, pilates, mindless casual computer games, etc), but some days I just need to jump start my energy levels.
