Another day, another blog post. I hope you're ready for this weeks blog post and if you aren't kick up your feet and enjoy.
So let's get the bad news out of the way first. You know, I know it, we all know it. Let's cut to the chase. Life is hard. Yup, life is really hard and you already know that which brings me to my good news. We all know it. You aren't in it alone, you have all these other people just trying to get by day after day.
Sometimes just the thought of that doesn't help though and maybe it never helps, so down below I've put together a list of things that will let you relieve yourself when life just gets a little bit too much.
- Color. It is psychological proven that coloring helps with stress and anxiety. I just went to Hobby Lobby and bought a Debbie Macomber coloring book (one of my favorite authors) it's detailed and the pictures are straight out of her books. It's pretty fantastic. So put on some classical tunes and grab your colored pencils or heck get some crayons. We all have that child inside of us.
- Personally one of my favorite things to do is read. I love curling up with a good book that transports to you that exact location with those specific characters. Whether it's or sunny or raining you can't go wrong with reading. It lets you escape to another life. I'm currently reading Let's Be Real by Natasha Bure. You may recognize her mom, Candace Cameron Bure who plays DJ from Full House and now Fuller House. (I'll post a link to some of my favorite reads down below.)
- Who doesn't love a good slice of moist chocolate cake or munching on some chewy homemade oatmeal cookies? That's why no. 3 brings us to baking! Bake things for yourself or maybe if you don't have much of a sweet tooth bake for your family, friends, and neighbors. A kind gesture goes miles.
- The tissue, the chocolate bar, and the comedy movie all in one. Talking to a friend, I don't know about you but after I'm done talking with my friends it's like everything in the world is right again. We usually meet up at a fast food place or each others houses and just talk about whats been going on. My chats with my friends tend to get really deep for some reason with even knowing. I don't know how but I am really glad they do.
- Like I said I love music but specially country music. For me when I need a break I grab my ukulele or guitar and just sing at the top of my lungs. Singing is proven to make you happier. I don't make the rules I just share them with you.
So I hope you do at least two of the things from this list and if you have stuff you'd like to add comment down below or hey maybe make you're own happy list and refer to it when you need a pick me up. Good chat until then,
Sammy
