Digging out of it

Ever experience a day when things just don’t seem to go your way?

 Every so often…. or sometimes too often, we face challenging days which we just can’t seem to get it together.  First, try to accept the fact that it’s okay to be in a bad mood every once and awhile.  It’s happening for a reason and allowing us the opportunity for “change”.  Write down the stressors that are causing the stress, and be aware of the reason why you’re feeling frustrated or upset. Allow yourself time to do something that you enjoy. Perhaps a physical activity, or get your nails done, head out to the garden. Something that you can do which will allow yourself time to process why you’re feeling challenged. Then come back to the list that you created and begin to prioritize when to tackle the stressors that are stimulating your “bad mood”. At this point you’ve had some time to process and possibly even resolve the issues. I find that when I write something down or say it aloud, it’s not nearly as overwhelming as I was making it out to be in my head. 



Having a full schedule in life is rewarding and challenging. We have to recognize when we need to take time to step back to reprioritize.
