This Last Weekend unfortunately wasn't the best week ever :( Trust me I have a few of those through out the year those just never go away I call them Depression Week!!! But I've promised myself I'm going to have an Excellent week and not let anything bring me down.
When life gives you oranges, enjoy.
When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.
Let's also say that all last week I was in my PJs the whole time and I didn't want to do anything but be lazy. I kept telling my hubby I just want to have a really relaxing week. But deep inside I knew that I was over relaxing a little too much. Usually that makes me a little too grouchy, a little too sad and mainly just depressed about everything. (I've also learned that it's okay not knowing why your sad and why you can't express your feelings sometimes. And to just want to cry for no reason)
There is this really great Book that I got a while back that has helped me a lot and I've learned a lot from it. You should definetely go buy a copy!!! It's called 101 ways to stress-free living by Suzannah Olivier. If your not able to go buy a copy it's okay I'll be sharing some of the main important things I've learned that I want to share with you!!!
~10 Steps to Vitality~
1 BEAT THE BLUES: EXERCISE EVEN IF ITS 10 MINUTES A DAY IT MAKES A DIFFERENCE
2 SNACK ATTACK: NEED FOR AN ENERGY BOOST, GIVE YOUR BODY THE NUTRIENTS TO WORK WITH. EATING WELL IS THE SUREST WAY TO INCREASE VITALITY.
3 QUELL SUGAR CRAVINGS: SATISFY A SWEET TOOTH WITH CHOCOLATE THAT HAS 70 PERCENT COCOA SOLIDS!!! WE ALL NEEDS A LITTLE SUGAR!!!
4 WAKE UP CALLS: INCORPORATE LITTLE INSTANT WAKE-UP TRICKS WHEN YOU FEEL LIKE YOUR SLOWING DOWN. SPLASHING WATER ON YOUR FACE!!! (ALWAYS WORKS FOR ME)
5 VITALITY IN A GLASS: THE BEST WAY TO CAPTURE VITALITY IS TO DRINK JUICES PACKED WITH THE LIFE FORCE OF PLANTS.
6 FUN TIME: LIFE ISNT ALL SERIOUS. WHEN YOU LAUGH FROM THE HEART AND ENJOY YOURSELF YOU HAVE MUCH MORE ENERGY. LOOK FOR THE GOOD IN EVERY SITUATION THAT COMES IN YOUR LIFE.
7 SLEEP CURE: MAKE SURE YOU GET THE SLEEP YOU NEED TOO LITTLE SLEEP DRAGS YOU DOWN, WHILE TOO MUCH HAS SOPORIFIC EFFECTS. AVOID CAFFEINE , ARGUMENTS, AND HIGH ENERGY TV SHOWS LATE AT NIGHT.
8 CUT THE CAFFEINE: IT CANT GET YOU GOING FOR A LITTLE BIT BUT IN THE LONG TERM IT WILL BRING YOU TO HAVE LOW ENERYGY AND HEADACHES. REPLACE COFFEE WITH DECAFFEINATED TEA, GREEN TE, HERBAL OR FRUIT TEAS OR HOT WATER WITH LEMON AND HONEY!!!
9 PLAN FOR THE GOOD THINGS: GO BACK AND THINKS OF EVERYTHING THAT IS GOOD ABOUT YOUR DAY AND WHAT YOU CAN LOOK FORWARD FOR THE NEXT DAY.
10 VITAMIN VITALITY: TAKE A GOOD QUALITY VITAMON AND MINERAL SUPPLEMANT DAILY!!!
HOPES THIS HELPS TODAY!!!
