Hi! It's a brand new week, and a holiday week here in the US. For some of us, the holidays trigger the blues. And, for some of us, chronic health issues can trigger the blues as well. I have been in a funk for a bit for these reasons. I know I can't hurry a funk. I have to work through it. But it has hung on for awhile, so I decided to do something about it. At least try.
I have started a daily journal exercise. Each day I write down three good things: observing someone paying it forward, someone paying me a compliment, someone trusting me with deeply personal thoughts, etc. I also write down three not so good things or things I'm worried about: my foot pain, my knee pain, having trouble losing weight, for example. Then, I write down one thing I can do for each of my worries to ease them. I don't have to fix the problem, just take action to make it less stressful.
And, it does make me feel better!
I encourage you to try this exercise if you're in a funk or going through a tough time. Journal about it and see if it helps relieve some of the stress you're feeling. See if you can come up with a resolution to your problem, or at least take steps toward a resolution.
If you try this exercise, I would love for you to share your results with me. Either comment below, or email me at amy@acnlifecoach.com Thanks! Have a great week. I will catch you back here on Wednesday.
