what to do if you feel like crap over something and need a fresh start💘
hey guys! these past few days i’ve been super anxious and feeling just overall, bad?! so here i am sharing some tips to bounce back when life comes at you!
turn off your phone or tv: after binging netflix or youtube for hours, you’re going to feel worse. so just shut them off to do something that’s actually worth your time.
freshen up: did you drink enough water? have you taken the proper steps of your skincare routine? did you take a shower? if no, go do those things!
just do something ya love to do: doing the things you enjoy brings you back into the present and helps you focus on the now, not something that happened in the past or something that may or may not happen in the future. reading, making art, and creative writing are a few examples!
put on a good ol face mask: it’s super relaxing and you’re benefiting your skin! trust me, it makes you feel ten times better!
journal: writing your thoughts down in a notebook makes yourself aware of your current state! and hopefully by spilling your feelings all over the page, you’ll feel a little bit better because they’re not jumbled up in your head as much. you don’t need a fancy notebook, you can even write on a random piece of paper!
review your goals: whatever they are, remind yourself of what you’re doing and why! and if you don’t have them written down, write them down!
take the first step: write down your to do list when you feel overwhelmed by all the work that needs to be completed. it’s a basic thing to do, but really, dump it all out of your cluttered mind! prioritize what’s most important! break everything down into tiny steps so that everything seems less daunting! and then do that first thing!
accept that you feel this way: i know it’s easier said than done, but something important to remember is that everything is temporary. you’re not always going to feel horrible. but you’re not always going to feel amazing. so don’t set yourself unrealistic expectations and beat yourself up when you don’t meet them! when something specific has happened, i like to ask myself “is this really going to matter when you’re 80 years old?”. most of the time the answer is no and you might realize that things aren’t as bad as they seem.
so i hope that these tips helped! i know these things have definitely worked for me in the past and they’re also things i need to do more often! sending you all the love and support right now💓💞💗
