When you’re feeling sad, lonely, or disappointed, instead of dwelling on it and letting yourself travel in a downward spiral, do something for you. Something that will make you feel healthier or pampered or just generally more relaxed.
Perhaps some stretches or a little yoga. Maybe meditation. Or try a pedicure. Hell, even flossing your teeth, because that’s something that’s just for you. Or just sitting, relaxing, and looking out the window thinking of nothing for a bit.
These things won’t necessarily make you feel any less lonely, sad, or disappointed, but they will turn the focus back to you. Back to caring about you.
So next time you’re feeling down in the dumps, do a little something for you.
