Exercising regularly can make a lasting impact on your mood. Find an exercise plan that suits you. If you’re social, try joining a group class, such as cardio dance or boot camp. If you value some solitude, consider taking up running.

Try looking for local adventure groups in your area. Often, you can join a group excursion for something like rock climbing or hang gliding. This can cut down on the cost of extreme sports, and also help you to make new friends who share this interest with you.

There are lots of ways to scare yourself. Grab a creepy book, or watch a thriller on tv. Better yet, grab your friends and have a camp out in the backyard. Have a competition to see who can cause the most shrieking with the scariest ghost story.
