RE: My Thursday Favourites #ccc 2.32!

in #actifit6 years ago

That's an interesting question...
Made me think some...

"Do you lie in bed all day?"
Guilty!!
When I didn't have commitments like kids, I have done this. Just starring at the ceiling, thinking of all the ways I could have done things differently that would have saved me from being where I was. All the different ways I could end the pain.
Now, with kids, I can't spend a full day, but I'd do spurts of if I was really feeling down.

"Do you listen to sad songs?"
Guilty!!
Very loudly too!!

"Or do you try to perk yourself up by hitting a boxing sandbag or whacking unwanted old furniture with a bat?"
Guilty!!
More like housework, with a little extra gusto! hahaha

"Or do you prefer to do nothing and just mope around?"
Guilty!!
Starring into nothing, blank, just entertaining the blues.

Looks like all of the above.
Then when I am tired of feeling down, I give myself a pep talk, a good shake and start chanting some positive affirmations and move on.
When I was younger it would be really bad, these days, I have learnt to snap out of it much faster :D

Sort:  

Yah, sometimes you just have to put on a face, perk yourself up, isn't it, just so those around you don't worry about you and you don't have time to feel sad, especially around kids, although kids can sometimes detect.
Distraction is a key to overcoming sadness, though not always. Haha. I would doubly work the housechores too, spend the whole day to tire myself out. And when I do not have the energy and mood to do anything, I would prefer to be alone and mope.
Thanks for your mini post to this contest @kaerpediem :)
