I felt very sad today. I must admit, part of it was feeling sorry for myself. I just didn’t think anything could lift my spirits and I had no motivation to do anything. Then I remembered something I had been told more than once before, to accept my feelings and to have compassion for myself. Once I did that, I started to think about how good I have it and how many blessings I have in my life. One small step naturally lead to another small step and another. Now I feel much happier and energized. This is what I did:
1-Accepted my feelings with compassion for myself. It is ok to feel sad. It is normal. (I didn’t want to dwell in it so after acceptance I went to step 2.)
2-Thought about my many blessings with the realization that so many others have more serious issues in their lives.
3-Drank an all natural drink, Ningxia Zyng which always gives me a lift and which is a special treat for me. It is infused with Young Living Essential Oils.
4-Put Frankincense Essential Oil all over my face and breathed it in deeply.
5-Made a cleansing and invigorating body scrub with Himalyan Sea Salt, Peppermint Essential Oil, Unscented Glycerin Soap and Organic Fractionated Coconut oil.
6-Took a shower, shutting off the warm water a few times for a blast of cold water. I used Peppermint Cedarwood Soap. Then I used the salt body scrub and then washed my hair.
7-Got Dressed and blew out my hair.
8-Felt happy with how I was feeling so I wrote this blog.
9-Got ready to go for a walk in the park.
