Did you know that this week is the worst week for many people for the blues? This happens for many reasons, the main ones being
- Low vitamin D due to lack of sunlight
- Low energy levels due to little daylight
- Christmas over spending hits our now spiritless brain as the master card/ Visa bills come in
- The '21 days to make/ break a habit have passed and you have fallen off the wagon, all new years resolutions gone out of the window as you think "Sod it, I want ..... and am having it" and you now feel like a failure.
Well one quick and easy way to get yourself up again and feeling better about life/ yourself is to write a
list of all the things you have in your life that make you happy, that bring smiles or laughter, whatever else is going on in your World. These can be really simple. Some of mine are
- I have no boss. I absolutely LOVE talking to people all day long in my 'job'
- Waking up at 1.30 in the morning and knowing I have ages to go before I have to get up
- I
have got the best family ever who don't notice my jeans are snug...and if they do they don't care.
- My children love me because I am their mum. They don't notice me getting old. They just love it when I laugh because they are at their happiest when I am happy because they feel secure.
- My 3 cats lie on their backs totally outstretched because they trust me not to rip their bellies out. This is
THE most trusting thing a cat will do.
I have more but am getting boring now. I belly laugh all the time at silly things because I refuse to 'act my age' and truly believe laughter is the best medicine and don't care who thinks I am mad. If I am mad then good...it makes my life great.
Try writing your list. Put it somewhere you see all the time to
keep you lifted through to the sunshine coming. It is on its way
