Five things I do when I am having a bad day

We have all experienced these days at some time or another. I am going to keep this short and sweet.

1. I go for a walk. Sunshine and fresh air and appreciating the wonders of creation.

2. Turn up the volume and dance. Music will lift your mood.

3. Write it out. Journaling is a great way to work through issues or problems and journaling allows you to be fully present and aware of how you are feeling. Never underestimate the power of the pen.:)

4. Exercise, you knew this would be one of my coping strategies. The saying “movement is medicine” resonates with me and I have proven it to work and lift my mood.

5. I will typically call my mom. You are never too old to need your mom. 🙂

We will always have something to be grateful for, no matter how small it may be.

My lemon juicer! You have no idea how this little gizmo makes it so much easier to squeeze the juice out of a lemon so I can have my lemon water daily.  Ahh the little things.

My endless supply of fresh vegetables.

Fresh flowers.

Balancing on my Balanced Body foam roller for fun.

Gratitude Fridays

I thought this would be a fun addition to the blog.   I know we have all heard of having a gratitude journal, where you write down 5 or more things you are grateful for whether you write it everyday or once a week . There really is no rule as to when or how much you want to write or how small or great it is. The simple things brings the greatest joy.

I will share here just a few things I have been grateful for this week,  it will be more pictures than words.

Coffee ( i am a huge fan)

Joseph Pilates ( self explanatory)

 

 

Beautiful Scenery ( gotta love vacations)

Saw this duck and her babies early one morning at work. How adorable!!
