A Note to Self: How to Feel Better.
Disclaimer I'm not trying to give anybody advice, only read if you want to. This is really for myself as I'm trying to learn and be happier.🙏
1. ACCEPT YOUR FEELINGS
It's okay to not feel okay. In fact, its completely normal. Sometimes writing down how you're feeling can help.
2. LET THEM GO
Try not to go over and over them again as this is when they can be blown out of proportion. See if you can let them float away like a cloud!
3. FIND WAYS TO RELAX AND MAKE YOURSELF FEEL BETTER
Do things that are uplifting, will keep you centred and keep your mind focused on something more positive.
1. MEDITATE
Do a 10 minute meditation or some breathing exercises. - try the Insight Timer App
2. GET UP AND MOVE YOUR BODY
Go for a walk, do some exercise or do some stretches.
3. WRITE DOWN WHAT YOU'RE GRATEFUL FOR
No matter how big or small, think of what you are thankful for.
4. WRITE DOWN THREE THINGS YOU LIKE ABOUT YOURSELF
Write them down on a post it note and stick It on your mirror.

7. READ SOMETHING ENJOYABLE
Take a break from the news and social media and find a good book.
8. MAKE A HEALTHY RECIPE
Try a new recipe, it will Keep you occupied as well as give you a sense of achievement.
9. CLEAN SOMETHING OUT
Its incredible how decluttered your mind feels from decluttering a Cupboard or room in your house!
10. ACCOMPLISH SOMETHING SMALL
Ticking a chore off the list will make you feel productive which will give you a sense of accomplishment.
You are doing just great!
My goal with this post is to pin to my page as a reminder for myself to stick to it and not to just forget. I really want to do my best to get better. If reading this helps you at all too then that's great but I'm not by any means trying to tell anyone else how to get better or what they should do in order to do so. Just random ideas i saw from Macquarie Center written by Live Life Get Active that gave me a little inspiration to try myself.
For now my goals will continue with reading and try harder to limit social media usage.
I want to try being more active and start going on bike rides.
I also want to try meditating with the app mentioned above. As well as continuing to eat healthier which has done great for me so far.
Anyways that's all. If you read this hopefully it could give you some ideas yourself if you are also trying to get better. I might update on my mental state of it does better overtime but this is just a beginning step to feel better with myself.
