7 THINGS TO DO WHEN YOU ARE HAVING A BAD DAY

 





Hi guysss, welcome! Let's read something healthy today. Buckle up and enjoy the ride....




From time to time we all have bad days and that is ok. I have compiled some ways to help you when you are having a bad day. These have proven to be successful for me so it is not just empty words.








1. Breathing exercises.

A way to help destress is to try out the breathing exercises and making sure you use deep breathes and use your lungs properly. Doing these exercises helps slow down your breathing and can be really therapeutic to just stop and focus on your breathing. Youtube is a brilliant source of visual aids to run through the step-to-step guide to doing deep breathing.

2. Meditation.

Meditation is so useful to help calm you down, give you something to think about other than the negative feelings that you hold. It helps distract you and give you something to focus on that can help make you feel calmer and relaxed.

3. Hot bath.

There is something about having a hot bath that really calms me down. I feel my muscles after been tense all day to soak them in hot water really beneficial. I just love after feeling really relaxed and putting on really soft PJs helps me chill out.

4. Watch a film.

A brilliant way to escape is with a film and getting a nice throw to settle down. It is a great way to switch off because often I am feeling exhausted after a bad so relaxing with a film is a great way to unwind.

5. Unplug.

The internet is addictive, it has its positives with having a wealth of information, interactions and entertainment. The downfall is it can lead to obsessions or transfixion and makes you feel rubbish. This is not great when you already feeling pants. I find just turning my phone off for an hour or two really helps me just switch off and allows me that time to think by myself.

6. Feel it.

Sometimes, when you are feeling bad instead of running away from the emotions, it is just good to be mindful even though it can be challenging. It is ok to have them negatives feelings, it is ok to cry and be angry. It is much better to have it there rather than trying to block it out or go into denial. Feeling the emotions is more practical and it may take less time to have to own them. When you explore the emotions it allows you to understand and accept what is happening to you.

7. Blame game.

I know it is so easy to find anyone other than yourself to pass the blame on to and ok sometimes it may be another person's fault. But that doesn't mean that we have to hold on to that anger, it just causes negativity and by letting it go gives back that freedom to move forward.

What things do you do to help when having a bad day? I would love to hear your thoughts in the comment section below. 

Cheers for reading! Xoxo

5 THINGS I WOULD BRING TO A DESERTED ISLAND

Image
  My dream come true.  Time alone. To live in peace, to read a book without interruption, to enjoy a snack out of hiding. So I would be lying if I said there weren’t times I just got lost. Maybe on the way home. Maybe in a store. And sometimes – sometimes, I’d like to get lost on a deserted island far, far away from the hustle, bustle, and most people's demands of every day life. Of course, I love the life I live. Don’t get me wrong. But it can be, well, overwhelming at times.  I'm needed all the time.  There are no breaks, especially as a freelancer. So to say I need a break is an understatement. So follow me on this dream for a moment, would you? If I could take a little vacation to a deserted island where NO ONE could bother me and there were no to-do lists, I’d pack a few necessities. Since I’m just going to assume there are no demands, no requirements of me to figure out how to stay alive (because, let’s face it, that’s another responsibility and we’re avoiding

TOP 5 ADVICES I HAVE EVER BEEN GIVEN. (THE BEST)

Image
  Advices are one of my tools for motivation. Whenever someone spends his or her precious time to advice me, I do my best to listen because giving an advice isn't easy. All my life, I have received tons of advices that I can't remember and so the ones I'm sharing are the ones I remember and somehow held on to. Without further ado, here are my top 5 advices I have ever been given. 5. Opportunities abound everywhere, You only need to see them. - Tough Call Tough Call is a novel which was given to us in high School. My school has this extracurricular program called Functional literature. All students are given a novel to read and later get tested to prove whether the book was read or not. In summary and if my memory serves me right, the book was about how a young girl worked hard to be successful despite her enormous challenges. I got this advice from the book and I held on to it since then. For real, there are a lot of opportunities around us and until we open our eyes

A DAY I WILL NEVER FORGET

Image
 There has been a lot of defining moments in my life. To be brutally honest, a lot of those moments I would have rather not happened. But they have played a huge part in who I am today, and I strongly believe that despite how hard they may have been, everything does happen for a reason. I've been through some shit. 99% of that shit I do not and will not ever (well, we'll see) post online, as it is private and too difficult to share so openly. I felt like this about what I am going to talk about today for a good portion of time. 2 years ago on August 16, I was denied of entering a university I have applied for. I feel shaky and tingly and sad writing that. I can talk pretty candidly about a lot of hard things in my life, to my friends or family. However, whenever I try to talk about this, or write about it in this case, I get choked up. It's strange. I only really realise how much that day actually affected me when I think about it for long enough. I guess that is beca
