answer:The way out of that state of mind for me is to go do something. Go clean up a room , or clean out some drawers, or clean a closet of old clothes. Or go for a hike or a long walk. Go visit a relative, Call up a friend and ask them to meet you for coffee or a drink or dinner. Or the best, absolute best thing you can do, is to go do some service work for someone less fortunate than you. Go help at the food bank, or a community kitchen or the homeless. The common thread? Get your mind off yourself. Think about someone else for once.
