Music - Ever hear of the Mozart effect?
Sex - lots of it, but it has to be monogamous
Swimming with Dolphins - A study concluded this reduced depression symptoms significantly
Gardening - it's peaceful and connects you with nature
Vacation at a great beach resort (of course) - or-
Spa trip- one of those week long spiritual/mindfulness/yoga/meditative types
Painting - it can be therapeutic; teach yourself
Looking at beauty in nature - Sunsets, mountains, trees, forests, etc.
I was in a little-known island once that had the most beautiful underground cave I'd ever imagine -it's undescribable for the most part, like it was not from this Earth, but as soon as you walk down into the cave, you see this beautful green moss and plants everywhere in this place that captured the sunshine in such a strange way, and the rocks and streams and everything looked so remarkable--as soon as I entered it took my breath away; it was so beautiful, I froze and temporarily lost touch with reality.
