Life sometimes can be completely overwhelming and we all have those days were we feel like we are about to loose it. It think that's totally fine and okay. Life is messy but sometimes it's good to just sit back and relax and get away a little. Whether it is work related, school, friends or family it's important to remember you are only human and it happens to everyone. It's essential to get past and conquer these heavy tides, but I think it's also good to take a mental breather. Its okay to step away from certain situations for a while. Clearing your mind is the best cure for daily life stress. And for whatever you do it doesn't have to be something big and monumental. For me it's taking walks or riding my bike around the block. Even as simpe as sipping on hot tea I made in my kettle,while reading a good magazine or book. I know a microwave is much simpler, but the routine to brew the water and tea makes it that little bit more relaxing. Taking a warm candle lite bubble bath is always a good way to clear your mind and body. In todays world it's so easy to feel the need too check social media, electronics and our phones. So during this time I like to disconnect from it all. I want to get to a point where I disconnect from this every day for a little while. Doing something creative like writing or crafts. Reading and writing has always been something i have relied on in the past. Anytime I was stressed or upset about something I would write it out or create a whole new idea on paper. Even if it's just scribblings here and there It has always been very therapeutic for me. Going through life means many big changes from friends, family, school, careers, and disappointing moments. When I was young a traumatic moment happened to me that left me altered. I became sheltered and afraid. I thought if I didn't deal with it it would just disappear. Looking back now I know I should dealt with it instead of avoiding it. One day I woke up and realized nothing was going to change and I wasn't going to feel better about it if I didn't try. I wanted to be happy and be in a better place. So I did. I started taking long walks and bike rides, and talked with friends. I realized healing was all I needed. Now I can say I am the happiest I've ever been. I used to not be able to talk about what had happened, but now I can think about it and know I'm okay. That doesn't mean I don't get stressed still because I do. When things are rough I usually feel like I'm being suffocated by a invisible source and I just want to scream. So I go outside and take walk or talk a drive. Just getting out and breathing helps to remind me to enjoy the little things. I don't know if this will help anyone on days of distress, but this is what I enjoy to do on days I don't feel like myself. I hope you all have a lovely day and wonderful night.
