Choose one thing that you usually like to do and do it today. Something that is purely "fun" (i.e. not something useful like vacuuming). For me these things include ice cream, swinging on swings, sitting on the floor and letting my puppies jump on me and lick my face. They can also include renting a movie you've wanted to see, or coloring with crayons (I tend to get pretty "young" when I'm like that), or sitting next to the water and watching the wildlife. You might want to do something with someone else, or just be by yourself. It doesn't have to be a big thing. Just something that you have chosen as something you want to do for yourself. Some people get into nice baths. Even a guilt-free nap could work. Get your hair cut, buy a pair of shoes.
You could pick up "The Woman's Comfort Book" for more ideas.

And don't beat up on yourself for picking. Today isn't the day to solve that one. Try to be good to yourself, but today is a hard day.
