Hi guys!
This is a short blog post but I felt like it was very necessary. I am finishing up my junior year of college in great spirits, but it wasn't always like this.
I was unmotivated. Sad. Annoyed. Frustrated. Confused. And at some points I didn't feel any emotions at all.
I want to strongly encourage all of my sister-readers to pay close attention to this article. I know alot of times we're told that we are too emotional, or crazy, or just straight up tripping. lol.
I want to let you all know that it is okay to feel things and live in those moments. Not everything will be peaches and cream, but here are a few things I use to get me out of a funk!
1. PRAY- I cannot stress this enough. God is bigger, stronger, and more powerful than all of our problems. He doesn't give you anything you cannot handle.
2. CRY- Sometimes a good funk, deserves a good cry. LADIES and MEN it is okay! We were not created to move throughout life not feeling anything. The moment after a good cry, feels like a brand new day!
3. SLEEP- Allow your body to relax, release all the built up stress life can bring and have a good snooze!
4. READ- This may be the nerd in me, but reading is like watching tv in my head. I get to make up character traits, escape to a new world, or think of something in ways I've never imagined. READ A BOOK.
5. SHOWER- Take a hot shower or bath. Play some music and take your time!
6. JOURNAL- I always have a notebook with me. So if I'm at school and I get into a midday funk, out comes the pen and paper! Write down your thoughts and goals. Write down what's upsetting you. Write a poem. Write a novel. It is like releasing tension you may not know you had.
7. FRESH AIR- Nothing clears the mind like the smell of God's greatest creation. I encourage you to go for a walk, sit on your porch, or drive to a park in your area. Look around at all he's created. And dare yourself to be mad at the petty situations that flesh brings.
