2.) Spend time with a friend. Nothing improves your mood faster than talking through your problems with a friend. Share your worries and let your friend comfort you or give you advice over a cup of coffee or hot tea.

3.) Learn to say no. You don't have to bake cookies for the fourth grade bake sale. You don't have to lead the focus group your boss suggested. You don't have to walk your grandma's dog. Sure, they're all good things to do, but sometimes you need to forgo doing things that are good in order to focus on things that are crucial.

If even a weekend feels too extravagant, then take a vacation from your electronics. Turn off your cell phone, computer, Nintendo Wii, Dvd player, Blackberry, and television. You'll be amazed at how much more time you have to relax once you take a break from technology.
