Resolved Question

It depends on your definition of "cheer yourself up" I guess. I use Aromatherapy Treatments, herbology, and sensory bombardment to achieve my goal moods.

For example, today I had some trouble getting motivated to actually get some work done on my website and marketing. I was very blah, uninspired, and generally feeling "run down". To 'cheer' myself up, I started a "collection trip". I got myself a drink, my cigarettes and then thought to myself "what do I need to do today with my business?" Once the decision was made I determined I needed a nice mellow aroma to surround me to help bring me out of the doldroms but not overstimulate me to where I'm cleaning house instead of working. So I lit some Sandlewood incense.

Now, if you are anything like me, I can get too mellow where I just want to go and watch television and just kinda sink into the sofa. Thus, sensory bombardment comes into play. I know if I leave the computer area I'm not going to get any work done. So I put on my favorite radio station using the live feed on the station's website and let it run in the background. Additionally, I turn on the T.V. and change to a "duh" station that has a lot of activity in it like the T.V. Guide channel. However, I mute the sound (the television and computer are right next to each other in our bedroom) so that there is always a sense of "people" in the room. This affects your subconscious mind to inspire a state of "activity" in your mindset. The "work" mentality rises to the fore and prevents you from becoming a couch potato.

Another thing I use is herbology. I am unable to focus on ANYTHING without Xanax. This have been proven time and again with modern drugs and psychology. However, the side effects of Xanax are not worth it for me to take it as I am supposed to. Thus for years I would be on again, off again with my meds. That is until I got fed up with and did something about it. I did some lengthy research on my condition and the drug Xanax for why it worked as it did. I found a combination of herbs that executes the same functions Xanax was purported to manipulate. None of the side effects of modern Xanax but I have perfected my formula for my personal focus needs and it's 100% safe and legal, not to mention way cheaper on my pocketbook. So those days I need to focus, I go to the kitchen drawer and take one with lunch or a snack.

So, as I said it really depends on how "cheer" you want to get. You can either do the research yourself for the best atmosphere treatment suited to you or feel free to PM me with what kind of mood you want to achieve and I can share a few suggestions.

I wouldn't have posted this but I didn't see anyone who uses similar methods and thought I would share...
