This will be a short post today because I want to get it out there as soon as possible. I was not having the best mental health today or last night. I woke up with a negative attitude after falling asleep too late from being awake with anxious thoughts. Here is what I did today to turn my day around and get that negativity out of me:
- Cleaned my entire house / apartment
- If cleaning your entire space is too much, try to start with the area you chill in the most
- Had a cup of coffee (something I don't usually do, but I needed the energy today)
- Lit a candle
- Worked out
- This can be lifting weights which I like to do to help focus my pain to another point of my body, walking, running, yoga, pilates, etc.
- Also it can be a light work out if you do not have much energy
- Made myself a home-cooked meal / comfort food / favorite meal
- Took a shower
- Made the bed
- Organized
- Went for a drive
- Listened to my favorite songs (nothing too sad or triggering) (think happy songs!)
- Cuddled my dog
- Sang / danced to my favorite songs
- Called my mom (can also be a close friend)
- Drank plenty of water
- Watched my favorite show (or movie)
- Enjoyed some time outside
- Wore comfy clothes
- Stretched
- Read a book
- Wrote this blog post!
