What Do You Usually Do To Feel Better?

[roaminggnome]

Swimming in the pool. There is something about swimming that grounds me to the present. It also tires me out and lessens my anxiety.

I use to take a really warm shower while sitting in the tub. That use to relax me and feel comforting. I'm not sure why I got away from that. Probably because taking a shower no longer feels that way.

I wish I could still climb a tree, when I was a kid that used to do "it" for me every time! [I'm 59 now].

I use to climb trees too Sheila, and sing from the top of my lungs while in them.

I go to lunch with my sister when I am able to to help feel better.

Cuddling with my dog and reading a good book.

I make a pot of tea and 'marathon' a great tv series! It distracts me from my sadness and often watching emotional things happen on a show tend to force me to safely be emotional where I can relate!

I sing. I dance. I read. I do art therapy and draw the people I love and the people I miss. Most importantly, I spend time in nature. It's extremely grounding and can turn a terrible day into a great one!

I give myself facials. Just gave myself one.

I write in the journals for my daughter and two granddaughters. They are love letters to them sharing memories and encouraging them and complimenting them etc.

I take a walk with my pooches. I have to start doing that more, once I get over the anxiety of going out.

I take a long hot shower and use lotion afterwards and I wear soft, pretty clothes that are very comfortable. I go online here. I write in my journals to my daughter and the two granddaughters. I play games on my I Pad. Occasionally I have a couple of glasses of wine to relax. I sleep good at night with my daughters cat, Pandora.

I eat breakfast foods. Doesn't matter what time of day. Hot breakfast always helps!
