Those Blah days

Ok, so we all have those days where things, or life just seems off. Either you feel unmotived, lazy, tired, nothing seems to go right, you feel lost, have things to do, but suddenly you don’t have the energy to move, or you just feel....bleh. No matter what it is to you or how you might describe it, I‘m almost certain you know what I mean. Sometimes, I have them more often than I would like to admit. My day won’t always start out bleh, sometimes it just turns around to that. And I’m not talking about PMS! Although, that can be a contributing factor also. Well anyways, I don’t know exactly what triggers it for me. 🤷🏽‍♀️ It can be from anything, from my daughter misbehaving, to me just waking up on the wrong side of the bed. I will get in this mood, and suddenly, I would rather sit on the couch and do nada. Except maybe watch some Netflix. Sometimes, I’ll just want to play some video games, or maybe do some coloring. But over to the side are things I need to get done, like the laundry, the dishes, cleaning the house, getting a work out in, making that important phone call, planing my next makeup video, deciding what’s for dinner, etc. Ofcourse the day of all days I plan to get shit done, and then I decide I don’t want to do shit! Ya know what comes next? Guilt. The guilt from not doing crap, when I had time to do it, and I know better, so why did I allow myself to slip and fall and slack off. UGH! Oh great now, I’m angry at myself, I’m frustrated 😠, and pouty, so yea, I really am just going to sit and do nada for real. Maybe I can take nap? Maybe I should smoke, and calm TF down! And that is what I do, sometimes. It definitely helps so I feel a little more happier and relaxes me. I actually might end up taking that na

I don’t enjoy my blah days, I end up feeling bad for not getting much done. Remember my day can change around. I can go from feeling bleh to snapping out of it and getting on with things. Other times I just go with the flow. I’m learning, that even if I don’t snap out right away, it’s ok. I’m allowed to rest and have a lazy day or two, sometime 3. 😂 I don’t let it consume me completely. We can’t be hard on ourself when we do feel this way. I do have things that need to get done, and I refuse to let it build up! My way of doing that, is by trying to keep a schedule. I actually have a planner and I’m trying to be more consistant with it. Most days I try to accomplish a list of things. It’s generally not a huge list. I say try, because, well life happens, and things don’t always go as planned. Such as unexpected “blah” days. I just do what I can and try to keep busy with the tasks I want to get done. As a say at home mama, sometimes it’s hard to not go crazy, and feel lonely too, so I try to keep occupied. Not that my toddler doesn’t keep me occupied enough. Lol It actually helps to just go outside and get some fresh air. Especially if it’s a nice sunny day. Sunshine I think always helps lift your mood a bit. Take a deep breath, let out the negativity and maybe even do some meditating. There are some blah days, when it’s more like an ARGH day, because I’m angry or frustrated at something that’s going on in my day. Ofcourse those day I really don’t want to do much, because, well I’m bothered and frustrated. I don’t always remember to take time to breath and relax, because sometimes I don’t have time too! Mom life! I am however thankful I have a spouse to help me through those days. He knows when something is up, and will always try and help me relax, and never judge me for what my mood is. He can get in the same mood too sometimes, then I’m the one trying to make his day better. It’s good to have someone to talk to and vent too, whether it be your spouse, a friend, a relative, as long as it’s someone who can help keep you positive, help guide you, motivate and not be judgmental. Feel like you don’t have anyone like that? I’m sure you do, but you have to be willing to open up and just talk about your day. I promise it will help! If anything try these steps: (these are in no particular order)

1. If you feel the need to cry, do it. Get yourself together after and handle your ish! 👊🏽💢

2. Feel like screaming? Do it in a pillow, at home. Don’t go screaming in public places! 😆Haha

3. Practice breathing techniques. Find a quiet place to sit and do this. Concentrate on the sound of your breath as you take a deep breath in, and then slowly release. As you release that breath, think of it as all the negative vibes, thoughts, leaving and going out the door, or blowing in the wind.

4. Do something that makes you happy! 😃 Something that may ease your mind for a bit. Stop and relax, do something you enjoy that you don’t usually get to do. Such as, Play a video game, do some coloring, do crafting, play with makeup, watch that movie or show you’ve been wanting to see. 5. Go outside and get some air. Especially if it’s a nice sunny day, 🌞the sun will help rejuvenate and warm up not only your body but your mind, spirit and energy.

6. If you are religious, go ahead and pray. Do what feels natural and best for you when it comes to your religion.

7. Talk and confine in someone you trust and can get advice from. Don’t try and hold it all in and “just deal with it” Eaiser said then done, I know, but it truly does help once you open up.

8. And lastly, my favorite option, consume some weed!! Choose a consumption method that works best for you, but a joint, bong rip, or even a dab may not be a terrible idea!😉

I’m sure there are many different methods for everyone when it comes to turning around a bad mood, moment or day. We each have to find our own way to it. I think we all need blah days sometimes, simply to restart ourselves and start fresh. Perhaps something I’ve talked about here may have resonated with you and you can relate. Maybe one of these methods will work for you and may be worth a try!
