suggestions for turning that frown upside down:

• change something small in your appearance or how you get ready.  for me, it was changing my part from the side to the middle, springing my hippie chick into action.  it's been a fair 10 years since i've switched my part.  who knew something so little could put such spring in my step.
• then, photo document it.  either take pics of yourself or get someone who sees the real you to take pics of you in your favorite clothes.  get dolled up.  throw convention to the wind.  find a well lit area and find your beauty again. (this doesn't have to be face pics either, whatever you're comfortable with plus push it just a little more and remember that it doesn't have to be perfect)
• buy the BIG bag of peanut m&m's and forget about the calories.
• try out a new station on pandora, i HIGHLY recommend the Modest Mouse station, even if you don't consider yourself a modest mouse fan.
• vit D. either outside or from a bottle, get some of nature's smile.
• put yourself in an outdoors timeout. run, jump, play, swing, make snow angels and people, start a snowball fight with your kids or roommates, feel the wind on your face and in your hair.
• get messy. paint with your hands, write exactly the thoughts in your head with no filter, photograph an ugly thing, bake something delicious, work till you sweat, garden and get dirt under your nails, cover something in glitter (this week it happened to be an entire 4 ounce bottle of glitter on my floor, that's some serious sparkle, no matter how dirty the floor is) CREATE.  get your hands dirty, messy, soaked in love.

• watch this and feel complete gratitude for the veins, the bumps, the scars, the dirt, the wrinkles, the LIFE your hands have let you live.
• spread love. smile, hug, kiss, speak kindly and tenderly, pay for the order behind you at the drivethru, give permission to yourself to make a complete fool out of yourself, laugh, dance, send a thank you LETTER. spread the love.

in the words of my sweet G, Peace out Pro.
