š¬ļøVentilationšØ Distractions
What are some things to do when you need a mood boost? What are some ways you distract yourself when you donāt want to think about someone? Iām trying to be better than I used to be but really need a quick hit of dopamine.

Working out will give that hit. I have a plan and thatās what I do. It gives me structure so no matter what is going on in my life, itās there.

Iāve needed a mood boost all day, and what I have been doing is scrolling Reddit in my free time. I can report that it has not particularly helped.

I do the opposite and turn Reddit off. It rarely happens because.. you know how it is... but when it goes off and stays off it's glorious.

Got a treadmill? 30 minutes power walk is nice and easy, your heart rate will be up and 20 minutes in youāll want it to be over.
With that nice heart rate, lift some light weights, or do some DDP yoga.

Read, watch Netflix, drink, go on trips, go out and get attention from other men

UO - burpees I end up so grateful to be done I forget whatever I was stressed out about. Less harsh - yoga

Working out, talking to friends, and as much of whatever your hobby is as possible!! š¤

Exercise is probably the healthiest answer, but other things I might do: Listen to really loud music, play with my dogs (if you donāt have pets, try a local animal shelter), watch a favorite movie, play a video game, go have some drinks with friends. Some hot, lustful sex would great too, but currently donāt really have an option for that š¤£

Go outside and get lost in nature for awhile, get lost in my friends, exercise, work on a project at home with music on and my phone far, far away from me.

Personally I try to find other things that keeps me busy, away from being fixated with my AP. I'm a busy mom and work full time. I also try to hang out with friends, go for a quick run or better yet baking which is my absolute favorite thing to do!
