Step One: Do whatever makes you feel good, inside and out.
End of list.
But – just in case – Mary gave BuzzFeed a few more tricks to turn any day around.
1. Get out of bed. Even when it hurts, even when it feels impossible. Just get up.
Even if it's just to take a quick shower.
2. Always follow "The Three F's" :
3. Dance to a LOT of Robyn...
... in your underwear.
4. On occasion, fix yourself an extra fancy cocktail.

Wine works too, tbh.
5. Work out when you want to, how you want to.
6. Turn off the TV and read a book...
... even if you only read one chapter.
7. Keep up a positive inner dialogue:
!["I always have an ongoing inner dialogue in my head at all times. And, when you monitor your self-talk that's when things can really shift [...] Knowing you're in control of your own thought patterns. The bottom line is: You are in control of your reactions to things and how you view things."](https://img.youtube.com/vi/qR3rK0kZFkg/mqdefault.jpg)

8. Buy clothes that fit and make you feel fabulous.
Don't forget to actually tell yourself just how fabulous you look:
9. Take yourself out! Going to a bar by yourself might seem scary, but it's also empowering.
10. Dance to even more Robyn.
11. Forget about dieting!
12. Try being vocal about what you love about yourself. Who says you can't give yourself compliments?
13. Find a creative outlet to process your feelings.
14. Never underestimate this advice:
15. Make a sandwich.
Bonus: Put some potato chips on the inside. According to Lambert, that's key!
16. Be kind to others.
17. When you're feeling very low: Force yourself to laugh.
