First, I think about why I feel bad. If it’s something minor, I just try to keep busy and distract myself from it. If it is something deeper, I allow myself a certain amount of time to process the pain, then think of possible solutions. Once I have a goal in mind, I am focusing more on the positive than the negative, and it helps.
If I am just having a gloomy day, and can’t seem to overcome it, I might take a nap, or snuggle up with a good book and that helps it pass. A nice long soak in the tub works wonders too. Lavendar is a wonderful thing!
Or, on days like today… I fluther!!
