The importance of self care when you’re sad
Emotions
If life has gotten on top of me, I’m stressed out, the kiddos are all arguing and yelling and everything is going wrong….. I drop every thing and get outside. Fast. Garden, park, river…. wherever. Rain or sun. getting out in nature does wonders for the soul. For the kiddos too, when they’re over tired or just cranky, some fresh air and running around never fails to help matters.
There are some days that just don´t seem to go quite as we planned. We feel overwhelmed by life and all we want to do is to hide somewhere and never come out again. Sounds tempting? Maybe, but what is even better, is to have a list of things that will turn your day around, things that will make you smile, make you feel loved, or just give you a release for your emotions.
Alongside cardio, a bath and a movie, other things on my list are: bake a cake, hula hoop, take a walk in the park, cuddle my kitty, watch some a comedy show, write a letter to someone I love, cuddle my kiddos, paint just for fun, have a mini dance party in the kitchen, call someone for a chat.
Now, what can you do for yourself when you’re feeling sad?
