Each morning when i get up, the first thing that i do is wiggle my toes and thank god and the universe that i am HERE. It helps to remind me that not everyone that lays their down at night is gonna wake up the next morning. So I take that in first.

Then I write my morning pages in my journal. It’s random thoughts, rants, dreams, blah blah blah stuff, but it helps to clear my head of fears, doubts , anger…and by the time i get to that third page, I’m open an dready

On a bad blah day…I write a little more…and back it up with some encouragement…

and…i make myself workout for about 30 minutes.

I try to take the blahs out early in the day so that I can salvage the rest of the day and evening with good vibes…but when it’s a little tough…i treat myself to dinner and a movie and enjoy my best friend…ME

Afrobella,

Bebroma is correct, it is by Hagen Daz. Honey it is worth purchasing! Don’t let me sprinkle the butterfinger sprinkles in it. YUM!

Great post Bella! I’ve had that kind of week myself. My period induced my funk, but I also see it as my soul’s need to take a step back and reflect. It’s quiet time for me. This weekend, I’m doing nice things for me. It’s the little things. I’m going for a walk in the sunshine, taking a long hot bath, washing and giving my hair a deep deep conditioner and sitting in my luxurious robe and enjoying my weekend. Thanks for being you!

Bella, the caramel cone ice cream I know is made by Haagen Dazs or however you spell it. It is wonderful. The sticky toffee pudding ice cream they make is my fave, though — brown sugar toffee, brown sugar cake, creamy ice cream, yum yum yum.

It’s been great reading everyone’s posts. This morning, I got up and started listening to some Tony Robbins(which my brother had sent me when he was going thru his own “ugh” moment, but I’d never listened to.) I turned everything off and just decided to give it a chance and listened for an hour. It helped put some things in perspective, and I’m in a much lighter mood. I’ve been cleaning for the past hour and another destressor is removing CLUTTER! My mind and spirit feel greatly unburdened already!

Loved your uplifting list! I need to refer to it in my new feel good blog and send more readers your way. Everybody needs to read it. I especially liked the part about feeling your feelings. Too often (especially as women) we’re told that our feelings are “wrong” or guys try to minimize our feelings because we’re “on the rag” again. (I hate that phrase!)

As women, we are ultrasensitive beings, responsive to the pulse of the entire world. You can’t block out your nervous system when it is tapping into something bigger than you. And sometimes (especially around our period, when our hormones stir up strong psychic vibes) we are more reponsive to the world’s hurts than other times. And man, it’s intense.

But it’s our job as spiritual wise womyn to walk the walk of a sensitive person WITHOUT labeling our feelings as an illness or a problem.

I’d much rather feel, anyway. It allows me to experience so much more of life’s joys – so what if I gotta have the occasional down day? The payoffs are so marvelous. It’s all worth it.
