The light had gone out in her eyes. Her face was blank. Written on her forehead were the words, " life doesn't mean a thing to me anymore.". She gave off a dull sullen aura, and everyone around her could sense it. It seemed like her response organs were no longer intact.. she was unresponsive to whatsoever thing that happened around her. Sooner or later, if she happened to see her own reflection in the mirror, she would be shocked by her own unkempt appearance.
But no, that wasn't the end of the story. She picked herself up, wiped away the tears and stood strong just to see a better tomorrow, a better her.
Everyone has their ups and downs in their life.
There are good moments, but there are also bad ones...
I mean, sometimes you just cannot predict what's about to happen in your life.
Nothing isn't perfect
No matter how hard you try, it's impracticable to wish for happiness everyday.
There will forever be something that stirs up the " sadness " in you.
But of course, life is so much easier if you know what to do with yourself when your not having the best day!:)
This is just a list of things I came up with to help you when you're feel sad or dejected. Who knows? Maybe the situation isn't as bad as it seems. Remember, you're never alone! ❤
- Write
Expressing your feelings through simply a paper and pen is so much more effective than you think it is. Don't you feel better when you get someone to listen to your problems? Well in this case, make the paper listen to all of it. :)
2. Exercise
Take a walk, go for a run or even doing simple cardio at home can make you feel much more refreshed and uplifted. I like to go for short 10 minute works around my neighborhood whenever I have things to sort out in my mind, it works like magic. :)
3. Interact with pet/s! ( If you have one)
Birds, fishes, cats, dogs, anything! They don't judge, they don't hate.... instead they love with all their heart. Animals are beautiful creatures, they have the talent to bring you back to the happy world! I love my birds. <3
4. Call a friend!!!!!!
Talk to this special someone that you trust. Someone that understands you and has the ability to support you throughout the bad times in your life. :) When your friend is upset, you will try everything to help him/her right? Your friend will do the same for you!:D
5. The arts
Get in touch with your artistic side! Maybe draw, maybe paint, maybe play an instrument.
Playing the piano definitely brightens my mood when I'm feeling down.
6. Watch a movie, don't forget the junk food!
It is proved that eating can make you happier and less vulnerable to sad emotions .Just remember.. not too much;)
Watching a good movie never fails to make you feel better too.<3
7. Go take a shower!
Isn't everything 10 times better when your clean?;)
8. Music!!!!<3
I'm sure everyone is familiar with listening to music to brighten up moods, but I still feel like I shouldn't leave it out!:D
Listen to beautiful music.
Chopin's nocturnes make me so much happier after I listen to them!
9. Positive thinking!
Think of your positive qualities, think of all the people that love and appreciate you!:) Everything is not as bad as it seems.. Haha my friend's are so good at instilling positive thinking's in me. Yes it's you A.P. <3
That's it for this post!:) What do you do to help yourself when you're feeling sad? I'd love to know, please tell me through commenting on this post!
Written with Love,
June

ReplyDeleteBut you seem sweet and I like the feel of your blog. :) You've got a new follower<3
Thank you so much beautiful person!<3<3<3
DeleteHahahaha I'm so happy my blog gives you the " feels"! XD
Ooh, such a lot of great ideas on here. I've seen the first couple suggested a lot, but you have some other great ideas, like the arts. Playing the piano for fun always makes me feel a lot better, but I never really thought about doing it when I feel down.
ReplyDeletePlaying the piano helps heaps! Creating music in yourself!<3
DeleteThank you for this beautiful comment:)
Xoxo
Love those Ideas ! I interact with my pets whenever i'm sad and blog sometimes !! but whenever i go to shower , funny how i always think about life , past and etc. :) oh can you give me a tip in blogging ? every when should i post ? :)

DeleteGahh! You have no idea how this came at just the right time for me... Thank you! <3 I LOVE YOUR BLOG, I can't wait to read more beautiful posts! :) You're right, playing an instrument does really help, especially when you finish a song perfectly! ;) Oh, and don't forget to sing in the shower (very loudly)- I once read that it released good hormones or something like that.... Haha!
ReplyDeleteLots of blessings!
-Emie
Hahaha! I'm so gonna do that! My parents would probably think I died in the shower hahaha XD.

Thank you Aliona!:)
DeleteYup, I'll check it out now
Great post! Even though a lot of people are good at handling down times there are still those who struggle with it. What is really great is being reminded randomly that everything is going to be alright and that there are tips that help through the process.
ReplyDeleteAlso remember that crying can help all on its own too. It allows the your brain know it is time to relax and feel better. This is also good advice to those of us who like to hold in everything that we feel.
P.S. I love your blog by the way! :3
Yes! Crying it all out is such a good way to make you feel better!:)
DeleteThank you, this comment means so much to me<3
I love this list! ❤️
ReplyDeleteWhen i'm sad, I talk it out with my mom. She is my best friend. I also write in my diary and it's like a best friend listening to everything you write. I also noticed that my mood gets better after a shower. :)
Thank you for this lovely comment Hilda ❤️
DeleteYes, me too! When, I'm upset, talking to my mom helps heaps, she gives me really good advice. A shower always makes you feel better;)
You are so welcome, June. Yeah, talking to someone you trust is the best. :)
DeleteGreat post !
ReplyDeleteThat's a lot of good advice ! :)
Thank you Gloria<3<3 Haha you have a beautiful name!
DeleteI loved this post! I do a lot of the things you mention in here, but a big one for me is listening to music. :)
ReplyDelete-Cassie ^.^
Of course!! Listening to music works like magic!
DeleteThank you for reading my blog Cassandra:)
Hi J! ^^ Thank you for your comment. How are you feeling now? Hopefully you're recovered by now :D
ReplyDeleteI really like this kind of article! I hope you can write more of it. I really can relate to your point of interacting with pets. Pets, mysteriously understand our feelings and it's really heartwarming to see them snuggling with us. It makes you realise there are things that love you no matter what you're going through.
Have a nice day! xo
Yes:) Thank you I'm so much better now<3
DeleteI totally agree with what you said on pets.. they are a gift from god!:D
Thank you so much for your comment, you are wonderful.
This is a good list, J! I just wanted to mention something; the world and life will throw many things our way. No matter how much we can fight against it with our own power, true peace and hope comes only through trusting in the LORD, and his salvation. You're list is great, though. =D <3
ReplyDeleteUGH, I used the wrong form of "you're" there. I meant your. I can't believe I did that -_- Sorry lol =P
DeleteYou are so right Jessica:)
DeleteNo matter how many obstacles in our life, there will always be things that go our way!
This is a really meaningful comment, thank you!<3
What a nice post! Whenever I feel down, I read magazines or blogs that I know would help me cheer up. It's like they're telling me to go on and be happy. Motivation is what most of the people need . ;)

ReplyDeleteThere are many things and ways to get rid of your stress and distress to regain and live with your full new energy again...
But I think, still there are times in a day when you again go back sit and think of your sad movement
Yes I know... that's unavoidable. It's ok to sit and think about the sad moments ..as long as you know how to pick yourself up after.
DeleteThank you for reading and commenting, means so much to me!:D
