How to survive being sick (as in how to stay positive)?

As someone who has currently been sick with a nasty cold for about a week now, I would suggest watching a tv show you enjoy, reading a book you like, listening to your favorite music, or playing a video game. As I am trying to get over this nasty cold, my wife and I have been going through the tv series Melissa and Joey. When my wife isn't around, you can find me playing a good game of DayZ. Best of luck on your sickness!!
