So I have been feeling yucky lately because my medications aren't working super well so I wanted to share a bunch of ways to feel better when feeling down.
- pet a pet
- read a little book
- play with an old toy you haven't played with in a while
- color a picture for your CG
- watch some little TV or movie
- meditate with a guided video
- take a bubble bath
- hug your CG
- take a nice nap
- get into the sun
- play in the water/pool/sprinkler
- cuddle your stuffies
- have a nice breakfast
- have a treat (if you CG says you can)
- buy a little something for yourself
- write a letter to someone you have been missing
- journal
- talk to someone
- play a video game
- play with bubbles
- use some chalk
- draw a cute dog
- walk around the block
- clean something even something little
- cook something with your CG
- do a craft project
- try something new
- just let that emotion out, crying is okay
- get organized
- write a story
- take care of something (pet, plants, stuffies)
- listen to a funny podcast
- play dress up
- do that thing you have been meaning to do
- meet a new/old friend
- drink only water all-day
- take funny pictures
- make your bed
So this is just a few ways that can help you get out of your funk. I know that is can be really hard to feel okay especially when your medication might be off, your caregiver is a plane ride away and life it just pushing down on you. Just remember to try your best and if you need help ask for it - there is nothing wrong with asking for help!
