5 Things to do when you feel down.
We all have those days,or times in our lives where we feel upset, or lost or just plain helpless. Even though it may feel like you'll never be okay again, trust mhe, you will :) Here are a few things I like to do when the world is getting me down.
1.Music
The thing that helps me out most in this situation is music. Make a playlist of your favourite songs and blare them through headphones, it helps you clear your head, makes you feel more composed and just puts you in a better mood in general.
2.Alone Time
Sometimes, distance from a situation or state of mind can help you to figure out what to do or to just make you feel better. Go for a walk, or go do something by yourself that you enjoy like shopping or getting your nails done. Having some time by yourself to think and get your thoughts together can be the most refreshing and helpful thing to do in a difficult situation. However, don't isolate your self from everyone and everything, just take a day or a few hours to compose yourself and have some 'you' time.
3.Be a people person
Even though a little bit of alone time is good to get a clearer picture of things, surrounding yourself with others is another great way to take your mind off the problem at hand. Spend time with people who love and care about you, whether that's family or friends. Those people bring out the best in us and help us to put things in to perspective about our lives.
4.Don't dwell on it
Trust me, I know at the time this isn't an easy thing to do, but it helps more than anything. Don't sit around doing nothing, feeling sorry for yourself because it honestly just makes things worse, dwelling on the problem won't solve it, instead go out and do something to either solve it or distract you. My thing at the minute is colouring from the anti-stress colouring books covering the shops and book shelves! If not, tidy or organise your room, it can help to clear your head, and living in a tidy room can help you think better!
5.Think about you
When we get stuck in a frame of mind, it's so easy to think about everything else except for the most important thing, YOU! Have a good cry, get it all out and don't beat yourself up about how you feel, you're only human. Focus on what makes you happy and keep doing it, life's too short to be anything but happy :)
Always keep smiling beauties, 'because life is a beautiful thing and there's so much to smile about!'
Love,
