These are examples of, "Particles". Particles are similar to prepositions.
Whether or not a sentence is properly formed when using a particle depends upon how the particle is placed within the sentence.
Examples:
You need to calm down your mind.
[Notice how "down" requires the subject "mind".]
You need to make up your bed.
You need to cheer up your outlook.
You need to lay down on your bed and take a nap.

Here is a funny, little anecdote to my rabid Grammar Nazism.
"Two women are sitting next to one another on a plane. One asks the other: 'Where are you going to?' The other woman haughtily replies: 'Don't you know you're not supposed to end sentences with a preposition?' The other woman says: 'Where are you going to, Bitch?'".
-make up
-cheer up
-lay down
