My best bet for fast relief seems to be about an hour of very intense excercise- like biking outdoors in the sun on an uninterupted path. That seems to get enough endorphins going and for them to last for awhile, and I end up feeling all ironed and wringed out, too. So my body feels nicer to live in, at least for awhile. Plus I like the feeling of satisfaction that I accomplished something tangible. As a special bonus, if I end up enjoying the weather or feel happy with myself for getting out, I sometimes start smiling, and people will inevitabley then smile back- and that's a super-boost.
