I like to have a chat with my son about his day, as he always has something that was fun or interesting to talk about. It always makes me feel better as then I know that life as a child is something that us as adults should try to aspire to. Don’t see the bad and only see the good.

I go out for a six mile road run through the bracing air of the West Devon countryside near Dartmoor. It’s amazing how uplifting it makes me feel after I have completed my run and 

had a shower afterwards. I can recommend to everyone who is feeling down to try it.

Walking is a great way to unwind especially somewhere like the Lake District where you can lose your worries behind and soak up the beautiful landscape.

Laughter with friends and family are great as well.

I just let go of negativity by rolling around on the carpet and pretending that I am a piece of fluff.

I love to crochet and knit. I am currently crocheting two pram blankets for my friend who is having twin boys. Sitting down with a glass of white wine, put a great film on (either Arsenic and Old Lace or Hobson’s Choice) and crochet away to my hearts content PERFECT!

I LOVE to make things for my family and friends.

BTW I’m relatively young, I’m only in my mid 40’s, just in case you were wondering.

I simply like to escape by playing my Xbox and forget about the stresses of life.

I'm fortunate to be able to cheer myself up by going for a brisk walk by the sea and and listening to the waves crashing onto the beach. Otherwise I venture over local countryside and footpaths enjoying the sights and sounds of nature. Jogging, cycling and swimming also do the trick; as does gardening, art, crafts, and singing with a wonderful lively local choir. And of course - playing with my grandchildren or having a good natter and laugh with family and friends are hard to beat!

I like to go out for a meal and a visit to the theatre, something I am doing with my wife next Thursday.

I don’t beat myself up for feeling in low spirits, I know it will pass.  The darkest days of Winter are worst.  I feel happy when I visit one of my favourite cafes or restaurants for a bite to eat, with a short walk to get there in fresh air.

I just talk to the cat.

Sometimes she talks to me... But I have no clue what she's on about.

I think of my nan, who passed away last year. She loved life so so much, and was determined to make the most  every single day of her 103 years on this planet. She will forever be my bright guiding light, even on the darkest of days.
