Embracing the blahs

Hello Friends,

I’m sure we’ve all had to contend with the cursed “blahs” at some time in our lives – UGH and YUCKO!

blah
1 : silly or pretentious chatter or nonsense; 2 : a feeling of boredom, lethargy, or general dissatisfaction

Well friends, I’d love to give you a quick tip or trick to make them scurry away but I don’t have one. No, this is one of those experiences that we will go through many times. It can often come upon us during times of change, busyness or when we’re overly focused on others and neglecting our own wellbeing. So what’s a generally happy-go-lucky, optimistic, faith-filled and fearless gal, or guy, to do?

Mel’s Two Cents: STOP DROP and NAP! Sit down somewhere and take a break; practice deep breathing or mindfulness exercises; take plenty of naps; soak in a nice warm bubble bath; and remember to eat nourishing foods. The object is to practice self- care, compassion, forgiveness and love. Yep, all you can do is take it easy and take care of yourself until it passes.

Until next time.

Mel
