@LisaMeighanMScGMBPsS
Always good to hear from you, Lisa. How’ve you been? 💖
So many great ideas here already, connecting with nature, music, journaling, just letting ourselves be… can relate with these too. At times it could also be treating myself with my favorite food, or watching a comfy movie/ show and sleeping in.
How about you?
@Sunisshiningandsoareyou
Thank you for a lovely response, as always! I am well thank you and how are you sunisshining? :) I love what you have written there :) Nature is such a beautiful way to make our day feel so much better. Right now I can hear lots of birds with such beautiful sounds and so that one is always a highlight for me!
I think it is nice to share little things that made our day feel better! For me, a highlight of my day was seeing my daughter smile after a very long day starting primary school and she had the biggest smile on her face and is adjusting to school so well. 💞
@Sunisshiningandsoareyou
yess so many good stuff mentioned!
Crying. Sometimes crying to release everything inside of me is all I need. 😀
I also pray 🙏, write ✍️, listen to music 🎶, and like coloring 🖍. ❤️
@YourCaringConfidant
I was talking about this the other day and someone told me how they had been told by a relative that when they cry it helps them to regulate and release emotions stored inside of their body. I completely agree and welcome people to release emotions by crying as it really does help. The power of prayer is so important to many of us too!
Good hair day and someone cared that I wasn't feeling well and made allowances that look out for my needs..
Instead of the usual...... Huh? And..? Moving on...
@ScrabbleBrain
I am glad you were having a good hair day! :) That certainly can help boost our mood too and someone looking after us is so comforting.
@LisaMeighanMScGMBPsS Kind of you to say so Thank you.
Yea I feel it's challenging when you're taxed and someone is fake polite. Don't enquire about my health if you don't care.
But acknowledge that I generally have a hard time. I'm not looking for sympathy, just the basic respect.
I was trying out a new conditioner so, it was fun lol. I hope you're having a good day :)
@LisaMeighanMScGMBPsS
Hearing my nephews laughter 💛
He brightens up everyday 🥰
I hope you had a great day yourself .
@Amanda84
Thank you Amanda, I hope you are having a lovely day too! Your nephews laughter sounds like it could brighten up the day of many. I love the sound of children laughing and my youngest daughter loves to laugh, it is so funny and often makes people around us laugh!
My wife's first greens from her garden were clipped and I ate them in a salad!
@GlenM
This sounds like an amazing salad and I know how much you love salad and even better with greens that were grown with love from your garden! My daughter loves to pick tomatoes that we are growing and was full of joy yesterday as we've got some more that are ready. She patiently watches them turn from green to red and then announces she has got some to pick. :)
@LisaMeighanMScGMBPsS
As a muslim I like to read Quran until I feel healed.
Or complain about my problems to Allah and pray.
A class I go to almost always makes me feel a little better too.
Tbh, I have family problems at home so anyone outside of them is a breath of fresh air, a lot of the time.
@discreetPlace4219
This is beautiful that your faith really keeps you grounded and happy. I am glad that a class you go to brings you joy outside of your home too :)
@LisaMeighanMScGMBPsS
Connecting with nature.
@caringShoulder1357
One of the best things in life is connecting to nature as it is so healing!
Waking up and getting ready in the morning with my partner
@LisaMeighanMScGMBPsS
I really like all of the options that you listed as possible choices! 😊 You have inspired me to......
The day is young and moving forward, I'll be giving myself permission to have a quieter day. Less hurry and scurry, more slowing down and practicing mindfulness. I'll still get some things done and I'll be taking my time doing so. I think I have earned it 🌟
Today, I make me, more important to me! It's drizzling outside and the temperature is cool. I have the back window open, enjoying the fresh air, enjoying the sounds of the birds and other little woodland creatures outside.
Early hot bubble bath is on the agenda. Putting on one of my favorite sets of pajama's after some richly scented lotion and body spray. I'll light the candle on the coffee table, snuggle up with pillows, a comfy blanket and a book.
It's cloudy outside so instead of wishing for bright sunshine, I'll embrace how overcast it is with the glow of a candle(s) and will go full make believe.........I'm setting the TV to "fireplace scene" lol 😊 (and you think I'm kidding, nope! I'll be like, check me out, I chopped firewood all day long 🤭 ). I'll report back if I make things toooooo weird, rubbing my hands together and putting them closer to the TV to warm up, haha 😊 🤔 Who am I kidding? I'll go ahead and do that, just to laugh at self. 😁
Broccoli cheddar soup for dinner. Taking this experience.........all....the.....way! Weeeeeeeeeee-weeeeeeeeee! 😊
Hoping for everyone, a very Happy Tues-yay! 🥳
*high fives* 😊 and *hugs* ❤️
@SparkyGizmo sounds like you are getting ready for colder weather!
@soulsings
😊 ❤️ 🍂 ⛄ ❤️
@SparkyGizmo
Thank you for writing with such detail and I can fully picture you having such a relaxing winding down period at home. How beautiful! I hope your broccoli cheddar soup was nice? Soup is so soothing and that reminds me to make more soup especially now it's getting cooler here in the UK.
@LisaMeighanMScGMBPsS good to hear from you!
I was listening to a mindfulness recording. A great way to celebrate today.
@soulsings
This sounds so beautiful. Mindfulness is such a great gift when we practice it, it can be so healing. I am curious which one you were listening to!
