So I'm going to give some tips on staying happy and calming yourself down after a stressful or bad day. I hope I help at least one person out there because that will make me very very happy! :)
There's always tomorrow.
Even if today is really crappy and you feel like you can't go on, which I have felt many times, there's always tomorrow, there's always a fresh start, a chance to start over and wipe the slate clean!
You are not alone!
I'm sure whatever you are going through is making you feel lonely, but there are other individuals in this world going through the exact same thing! You are never alone, you will always have family and friends to talk to and if you're not comfortable with talking to them write everything you feel down on paper! Or do what I do and just cry! There's nothing wrong with crying, it's human and perfectly normal, it's just your way of calming yourself. It's best to let everything out one way or another rather than keeping it all bottled up inside of you.
Concentrate on the POSITIVE things rather than the negatives!
Ok, you might have had the worst few years of your life, but I'm very sure that you have many times where you felt happy within yourself and were just enjoying life. In example, when I feel down, I go through my Facebook and Instagram pictures, because they remind me of all the memories I've made in a small space of time and I feel much better and know that life isn't as bad as I made out.
(Yes these strange people are my friends and I)
Do something you enjoy.
I personally enjoy drawing/painting and creating different makeup looks. But you can do anything you want. Just do something you enjoy, it will really calm you down and make you feel much better!
Listen to happy and upbeat songs.
Trust me listening to depressing songs will not make you feel any better. Although they might relate to your situation they are not going to motivate you to carry on.
Olly Murs makes loads of great 'feel good' tunes. Just saying. ;)
Have a bath.
Or a shower if you're a shower person, but the steam from the hot water and the scent of your bubble bath or bath bomb will calm you down. Apparently lavender is a really good calming scent but I don't really like it, just go with whatever floats your boat. I definetly recommend Lush bath bombs and bubble bar's, they have a good selection of scents and they make your skin really soft. And it's really fun watching the bath bombs fizz away. (Let me know if you want a lush favourites post)
Watch some films.
I'm having my best friend over tomorrow to watch some DVDs I got for Christmas. It can be a rom-com, comedy, scary, whatever you prefer.
Post inspirational quotes around your room.
I have a cork board in my room that I post a few quotes on and when I'm having a bad day reading those quotes make me feel a lot better. All you need is to google some and them write them down on a piece of card or paper and voila. And make sure you put up a few pictures of you and friends or family too!
So that's all I've got right now, but if I come up with some other ideas I might do another post on this subject, or if you have any other things similar to this you'd like me to write about please contact me. I really hope I helped at least one person, and made you feel much better about yourself, the situation you're in and about your life. Life is unpredictable and we must get on with it all. But even if you are in a big dark hole, everything will get better and you won't be sad anymore. There will be some one to take all the sadness and pain away.
But please remember to smile and be nice to people, because you don't know what is going on their life. Even the smallest thing like a smile can brighten someone's day.
I'm going to stop rambling now!
Stay Strong <3
P.s I'm starting a Youtube channel if my own based on beauty some time this month! So look out for that!
