Cuddle a pet! If you don't have one at hand, hug a pillow or a friend.

If you feel the need to make fun of yourself at least do it in a positive connotation.
Ex: You fall down in the hallway, instead of saying "I'm so clumsy, I'm like a (insert clumsy animal)!" say "I am the picture of beauty and grace!" (In a sarcastic tone) It's surprisingly makes you feel better rather than saying something negative.

Look in the mirror and say facts, then say something good about yourself mixed into that.
Ex. It's chilly in Florida, I had yogurt for breakfast, I am going to do good today, I woke up at 5:40

This one seriously works. I do this all of the time (because I'm clumsy af XD) and whenever I trip or something I just recover as gracefully yet comically as possible and say out loud "I'm just so graceful, I never trip. Who tripped? Wasn't me." or something like that. It makes you laugh and then others laugh, so everyone's happy. This also works for getting answers wrong, stumbling with words, or other flub ups that you might get embarrassed at and beat yourself up over normally.

Ranting help with negative thoughts, if you start to feel them stacking up talk to someone you can trust, or pull up something you can type/write on and just say how you feel.

(and if you need it my inbox is always open and im good at listening)

If you have any healing cuts, make sure to treat them and cover up with a bandage.
Don't let it get infected.

HUGS. If you can, get HUGS! Humans are naturally physically social beings, but a lot of created social standards (mostly American) cause us to not give or get enough physical affection, resulting in us being incredibly touch starved, and this is scientifically true.
