I like to take a nap. Naps really help regenerate me. I know they make some people feel more tired but I wish I could take a 10 minute nap every day!
Also - a new bra. I went to VS today and bought 3 new bras. I put one on. I feel amazing. A good bra is everything!!
What do you do to feel like a new person?

A pedicure. A long shower after a long travel day or camping. Clean bed sheets and a freshly made bed.

Getting my hair cut/styled, buying a new bra (OMG I'm always amazed at how great my boobs look), and having a day to myself to do whatever I want.

A chai latte and an hour browsing the bookstore, a bath and a glass of wine, a massage.

A bit of time playing the piano really helps me shake off a bad mood and feel lighter and brighter. Or a walk in the rain with a nice drink.

A drive by myself, dinner out with friends, and I second clean sheets!

@travelgirl1: Yes to the piano! It's such a stress relief for me!
Pedicure also works. Or a hot shower. And wine.

Hot shower, skin pampering and hot tea before bed. Pretty much my every night routine and I miss it if I don't get it!

Styling my hair and putting my full face on. I rarely go out in the evening any more so I rarely put on a full face of make up, but when I do I'm always amazed by how *me* I feel. Perhaps I need to start doing it in the daytime!

Easiest is a hot shower, tasty beverage, and clean sheets. And sleep.
More effort is a gel mani and pedi, also with a tasty beverage in hand.

I just posted on this, but I'm amazed at how put-together I feel by just having nicely painted nails. I am going to try to treat myself to a more regular mani/pedi from now on!!! That, and a deep tissue massage.

A pedicure, a trip to the hair salon (fresh balayage, trim, and blow-out), and a full face of makeup.

Pedicure. 8 hours of sleep. A really good workout.

Work out, yoga class (!!!!!!), haircut and pedicure.... which I did none of that recently. grr
Oh, and actually taking off a day from work would be very nice. Also haven't done that for a long time.

Recently I've discovered how energized and positive I feel after listening to music (like old 90s favorites that I loved as a teenager). My husband hates it so I listen with my headphones, 
but it gives me such a positive boost!

getting my eyebrows waxed... esp if its been closer to a month rather than the usual 2 weeks

Yoga. Working out while listening to a non-parenting-related podcast. Or actually making it to a MNO/Book Club event for some girly/kid-free time.

Nothing except sleep if I'm truly sleep deprived (i.e. nearly every day working full time with my 11mo who is a horrible sleeper). Even a short nap helps, although I don't get them very much. Otherwise... coffee?? Rolling down the car windows when I'm driving so I don't fall asleep?? LOL.
When I'm *not* crazy sleep deprived and just kind of zonked out or a little tired, I like going for a walk, listening to podcasts about stuff I'm interested in, and travel/trip planning (even if in the far distant future - gets me really excited and happy).
