General Encouragement Thread

WOW... the past 24 Hours seems to be really bad for people (including myself, bad fight with mom all day yesterday)

So... i'm starting this thread.

what makes you feel better when u have a sh*ty day?

Me... i try to tell myself that no matter what is going on today it will pass. Bad things have happened before and i was able to move past them and the same will happen with any current bad situation.

Re: General Encouragement Thread

besides telling myself that everything happens for a reason I try to do something and zone out while I am doing it.

I go home and put in a movie...usually Gypsy or Meet Me in St. Louis...they are both movies that always comfort me for some reason. They make me smile.

Re: General Encouragement Thread

when i am having a bad day 1 of 2 things cheer me up.

1. just rambling on & on to FH about what happened, & him saying something very meaningful.

2. remembering that i am engaged & that this is something i have waited for, for a very long time. i just remind myself to enjoy this time no matter what is bothering me.

Meet Me in St Louis is one of my favorite movies!!

I try to put things in perspective. I have been whining about working out and grading for the past two weeks. Then over the weekend I found out my aunt has cancer and my bff got laid off yesterday. Now I'm so thankful I CAN work out and HAVE papers to grade! I just try to be thankful for what I have, even if it's only small things.

Ice cream does it for me!!

Give me B&J Chunky monkey or some Haagen Daz and all the bad stuff goes away.

You know this morning I realized I still had thin mint cookies that had not been opened. Hmmm I will have to hide them before anyone in my house realizes they are there.....

A good nap usually helps me out. When I wake up it's like starting the day over.

Re: General Encouragement Thread

Try to just relax and often that includes a glass of Pinot Grigio....

Talking to FH
Loud Music
An ice cold beer

When I'm trying to block something out I'll zone out on LIW or Facebook, or watch one of my favorite movies, 13 Going on 30 ... I know it's cheesy but I love it.
