So, I’m not having the best day… I’m feeling under the weather, I had way too much dairy yesterday so my nose hates me, I have eczema around my eyebrows and that pesky brain fog is still with me. My body is obviously telling me to slow down, all I want to do is eat my emotions and I’m manifesting all the wrong things. Sometimes we lose our footing, trip over reality and then freak out.
Today is going to be a day of doing the things that bring me joy. I need to find those good feelings and drench myself in them. Shall I tell you about some of my favorite things to do on a bad day?
Firstly, I make sure to have a nice cup of coffee in the morning, especially on the bad days. I know I’m not technically allowed to have coffee anymore but we all deserve a good cheat day every now and then. (Sometimes it’s more than one day a week. Oops.)
Then, I have something to eat… usually breakfast is my biggest meal of the day. (Food is important!)
I’m a person who finds comfort in background noise. So I always have movies or series on in the background. Especially my comfort shows. Today is The Vampire Diaries. I’ve lost count how many times I’ve watched all the seasons.
The big thing for me is not to get stuck on social media, when I’m having a bad day I need to force myself to be off my phone as much as possible. A good way to do that is by catching up on some writing! Writing sprints are the way to go for me, I usually sprint for 25 to 30 minutes and take 5 to 10 minute breaks between sprints.
I make sure that at some point during the day I get a good yoga session in, followed by a meditation or some chanting. Last night I dreamt of cleansing my space, so at some point today I will probably smudge the house. A good spiritual cleansing can never hurt.
Reading is another comfort, goodness knows my TBR for this month has a bit of everything so I have lots to choose from.
Then lastly a solo dance party is the cherry on top! At the moment Harry Styles is my happy music but who knows where the playlist will go!
What’s something that you do to help lift your spirits?
I hope you’re all having a good day and may the rest of your weekend be amazing!
Until next time,
Light and Love.
