tips for when you are feeling frustrated, ungrateful, annoyed, ugly or just all around lame.
- hug a significant person in your life--for TEN SECONDS. realize that you are so lucky to have moments of beautiful human interaction with loved ones in your life.
- say out loud "LIFE IS GOOD" ten times
- smile. just pretend to smile. even if you are crying a little bit. it helps
- watch tina fey and amy pohler do something on youtube
- draw something you used to draw in elementary school. Like the Superman S or something. (this helps you feel accomplished)
- 20 jumping jacks. burn away those bad thoughts.
- make out on the couch.
- go to your closet and touch every single article of clothing you own and be grateful you are blessed with warm stuff to wear this winter
- in fact, look around your room/home and say "thank you" with genuine gladness to each object you love.
- think of the saddest you've ever been and then think of Malala and what happened to her. look at what she's done with the hand Life dealt her. ok wait don't think too much about that it actually might make you feel worse and more lame.
- do some more jumping jacks to refresh your mind
- yoga helps too and just basic breathing
- write in your journal--then 2 weeks later read it and laugh at how dumb you were 2 weeks ago
- take a nap
- try your hardest to really see what the problem is here because like you're only going to live this life once and you don't want to do it whilst being super bummed all the time. Let it go, rearrange, learn to be more flexible.
