I try to make myself do things for other people when I'm feeling down. Like, you can call your local hospital and help out in the pediatric unit.
If you look at Cinderhella, from a production design aspect, I tried to find an interesting, iconic character, having her face wrapped up in bandages. That was funny. On the dream logic level, you'll see the parallels of that interesting connection that I made. There's a reason why she's called Cinderhella.
