Take a holiday if you can... that might help too.
Big bowl of pasta with a tomato and basil sauce, some chillis, green olives, musrooms and a spicy meat smothered in cheese and a bottle of red, a good book and a loud, angsty CD. May I recommend Skunk ananci or possibly Evervescent if you swing that way.
An impromtu night out where you're shattered the next day but it still brings a smile to your face.
Find the one person who makes you laugh more than anything and spend hours talking to them. Alternatively find the one person who you have the most debates with and just tell them that everything you think is wrong and lose yourself in a nice long debate.
That's ^^^^^^ the sort of thing I do but I'm not really in to the girly pampering/chocolate/curing up under duvet with a chick flick thing.
Failing that, get your butt down here for a weekend and we'll go out... if I can't make you laugh then you're a bloody lost cause ;0) xx

Call up my 4 year old god daughter and talk to her about her life, listening to her getting excited about the simplest things ALWAYS brings a smile to my face.
Feed ducks, it's such a simple pleasure.
Play fight with my bf, if he knows i'm stressed out he is prepared to get a mini beating, he even gives me boxing gloves to wack all my anger out.
And then scoff toasted marshmallows.

A pastor concluded that his church was getting into serious financial troubles. While checking the church storeroom, he discoveredseveral cartons of new bibles that had never been opened and distributed.
So, at his Sunday sermon, he asked for three volunteers from the congregation who would be willing to sell the bibles door-to-door for $10 each to raise the desperately needed money for the church. Jack,
Paul and Louie all raised their hands to volunteer for the task. The pastor knew that Jack and Paul earned their living as salesmen and were likely capable of selling some bibles. But he had serious doubts about Louie who was a local farmer and who had always kept to himself
because he was embarrassed by his speech impediment.
Poor Louie stuttered badly. But, not wanting to discourage Louis, the pastor decided to let him try anyway. He sent the three of them away with the back seat of their cars stacked with bibles. He asked them to meet with him and report the results of their door-to-door selling efforts the following Sunday.
Anxious to find out how successful they were, the pastor immediately asked Jack, "Well, Jack, how did you make out selling our bibles last week?"

Anxious to find out how successful they were, the pastor immediately asked Jack, "Well, Jack, how did you make out selling our bibles last week?"
Proudly handing the reverend an envelope, Jack replied, "Using my sales prowess, I was able to sell 20 bibles, and here's the $200 I collected on behalf of the church."
"Fine job, Jack!" the pastor said, vigorously shaking his hand. "You are indeed a fine salesman and the Church is indebted to you."
Turning to Paul, "And Paul, how many bibles did you sell for the Church last week?"
Paul, smiling and sticking out his chest, confidently replied, "I am a professional salesman. I sold 28 bibles on behalf of the church, and here's $280 I collected."
The pastor responded, "That's absolutely splendid, Paul. You are truly a professional salesman and the church is also! indebted d to you."
Apprehensively, the pastor turned to Louie and said, "And Louie, did you
manage to sell any bibles last week?"
Louie silently offered him a large envelope. He opened it and counted the contents. "What is this?" he exclaimed. "Louie, there's $3200 in here! Are you suggesting that you sold 320 bibles for the church, door to door, in just one week?"
Louie just nodded.
That's impossible!" both Jack and Paul said in unison. "We are professional salesmen, yet you claim to have sold 10 times as many bibles as we could."
"Yes, this does seem unlikely," the pastor agreed. "I think you'd better explain how you managed to accomplish this, Louie."
Louie shrugged. "I-I-I re-re-really do-do-don't kn-kn-know f-f-f-for sh-sh-sh-sure," he stammered.
Impatiently, Paul interrupted. "For crying out loud, Louie, just tell us what you said to them when they answered the door!"
"A-a-a-all I-I-I s-s-said wa-wa-was," Louis replied, "W-w-w-w-would y-y-y-you l-l-l-l-l-like t-t-to b-b-b-buy th-th-th-this b-b-b-b-bible f-f-for t-t-ten b-b-b-bucks ---o-o-o-or--- wo-wo-would yo-you j-j-j-just l-like m-m-me t-t-to st-st-stand h-h-
