Paul Graham on Twitter: "Something I taught 11 yo: Cheering yourself up is among the things that parents do for little kids, but that you have to learn how to do for yourself as you grow up. Techniques: exercise, trying something slightly (but not too) ambitious, helping someone else."

  More than just cheering yourself up - managing your state. Other techniques: meditation, walks, eating well.

  I’m 27 and my parents def haven’t cheered for me in a long long time. Gotta rely on myself to pick myself up on my bad days. Exercise is def a game changer
