4/9/2014 0 Comments Life's Little Pick Me UpsAs a bit of a follow up to my previous post about good days and bad days, I wanted to make this short post about the great things in life that can help make a bad day a little bit better.
I was suffering from a streak of bad days recently, though I am happy to say that these past few I have felt a lot better, and during that short lived dark period I noticed my friend's post on my Facebook news feed. Now as cliche as it sounds, it was a long quote from the movie The Notebook, but reading it I was reminded just how much I really love that movie. Not only is it chick flick perfection, but it never ceases to lift my mood (even though the ending is unbearably sad - but in a good way!). Even just reading that quote, which was one of my favorite scenes, I felt a little better. I think that the thing we need to do during these bad days is to just take some time for yourself and do something that you know is going to help lift your mood or make you feel even just a slight bit more confident in yourself. Watching The Notebook helps give me hope that something as epic might happen to me one day - though, don't worry, I'm not crazy; I realize that something like this movie almost never happens. But on a bad day, it's nice to think that it might. There are plenty of other things as well that are awesome mood boosters, not just for me but for most people. For instance, now that the sun is coming out and the ground is warming, it's the perfect time to go take a hike or a stroll around the neighborhood. Sometimes getting some fresh air and just taking some time to be alone with yourself and nature is just what the doctor prescribed. Or maybe you need to just find a comfortable place with a steaming cup of green tea and a good book. Getting lost in the worlds of various characters and escaping reality for a little while, even for just a few minutes, can do a body good. Not only are you exercising your brain, but you are becoming more cultured (depending on what you've decided to read) and you're not spending that time thinking about how bad you feel that day or any other negative thoughts about yourself. Because that is what leads to those bad days, reader! Find other things that you know will help you beat this nasty mood you find yourself in from time to time, even if it's watching a scary movie and binge eating popcorn and mashed potatoes. hey it's only once in a while, and those are some of the greatest foods know to man so... There are so many things that life provides us with to make thing better *cough* chocolate *cough* and don't be afraid to take advantage of them in order to get up and out of those awful ruts we all get in sometimes. In fact, I could really use a good hike right about now... Exercise is always a great way to boost your mood, not only does it create endorphins, but afterwards you feel like a champ because you did something good for your body and it knows it! Good luck with your happy hunting! Thanks for reading, Amanda Lucille
