Life can get crazy sometimes and we can feel overwhelmed with emotions and thoughts and work/school schedules. It's so hard to focus on the positive when all we can keep thinking about is the negatives. I know it's hard to pick yourself back up when you're feeling so low and lost, but it's not permanent! Here are 15 things you can do if life has got you down:
1. Have something healthy for each meal that you eat
Eating healthy makes me feel good about myself and when I've had something healthy for each meal, I feel like did my body good. If you want some brownies, don't me stop you. Comfort food is good too!
2. Take a shower
Use your favorite shampoo and body wash. Afterwards, put on that scented lotion you never get to use, but love.
3. Put on your favorite outfit
My motto is always, "if you look good, you feel good".
4. Clean/organize your house
I don't know about you, but having a clean room and being organized clears my mind and eases my stress.
5. Watch funny Youtube videos
You can never go wrong with Jimmy Fallon's Hashtag segments!
6. Try not go to on social media
That will only make you feel worse. You'll be comparing your life to others who probably are feeling the same way, but mask it with pictures of their fake life.
7. Go for a walk
Plug in some headphones, throw on some sneakers and just take a mind clearing walk
8. Buy a salt lamp
These are really great for cleansing the air, increasing energy levels, and improving your mood and concentration! You can get one for $20 at Bed, Bath, and Beyond!
9. Play with puppies
Go volunteer at an animal shelter and you can play with puppies all while giving back to your community.
10. Go to the beach
The ocean breeze and the sound of the waves can be very relaxing. It's always nice to take a breather.
11. Watch your favorite movie
Netflix, need I say more?
12. Write down a list of things you've accomplished in life so far
13. Meditate
Get the "Calm" app. There's a lot of breathing exercises and relaxing music to listen to.
14. Spend some time with close friends
Get together with some close friends of your that you know will have nothing but positivity energy around you.
15. Drink some tea
I love to drink some honey lavender tea to help relax myself
