In Repurposing
Firstly written for the main blog by LuciStG
Winter is coming! You know what that means -- blah-y days and blah-y moods.
Here is how I stay positive in outlook when the weather gets dreary.
What I don't do:
- I won't stay around on social media where I know people tend to be negative.
- I won't eat anything cold or drink cold drinks.
- I won't watch anything on TV or Videos that make me feel worried or anxious like horror movies. I don't like those anyway.
- I won't eat allot of veggies unless it has dip included. Veggies tend to make digestive upsets and that can bring on the blahs.
- I won't go outside or look outside allot.
What I will attempt to try to do:
- Drink or Eat warm foods, comfy foods because it really makes you feel warm inside.
- Watch TV in a constructive, learning way, the weather channel, or even weathernation, or a discovery channel or something that I have an 80% interest in.
- Listen to upbeat music, or a nature app or a meditative app or jazz or r&b or ambient upbeat music.
- Turn on my bokeh lights, or christmas lights or my star lamp, any kind of warm gold glowing light warms you up and helps us fight the sads.
- Take a warm shower or warm bath and use bath salts from Dr. Teal's or Village Naturals' company.
- Wear warm clothing with a hood or pj's and have a comfy big blanket for your bed.
- Line the bed with some large pillows so you want to stretch out and sleep.
- Mist your linen with good smelling sleep promoting sprays like green tea or tea tree oil or lavender/jasmine or orange.
- Eat salads, even though they are cool, but with a piece of fruit, with some almonds/nuts and an unopened dressing at room temp.
- Play a video game you know well that you find comfort in.
- Sweep or clean the room or your home. Put on some oil or wax in the burner and help the home feel cozy.
- Buy some plants that help brighten your moods and your home.
- If you enjoy painting or working with clay give it a go.
- Go out for a brisk walk, spend time in nature. Take photos. Go live on Facebook.
