Do you find yourself brooding every once in a while? What sets you off? Could it be a microbit like the drudgery of routine - cook, clean, change nappies, feed, eat, sleep and whoosh where's the day gone? Or could it be a macrobit like the state of the world and where it is all heading?
Far more important, how do you get back to being your sunny self?
Each one of us has our own triggers - things that cheer us up when the day or mood is all gloom and doom. The trick is to identify what works for you - these triggers can turn out to be our best friends through life. It's all so easy when we are young and carefree. But then we grow up, forge careers, get married, have children and get oh so busy - so lost in our buzzing busy-ness that we sometimes lose track of the little things that act as our "sunshine".
The thing is that we all have our share of not so good days, so here's what I am going to do as a treat to me. Make a list called "My favourite things" and carry it with me everywhere. The next time I feel blue, I will draw out this post-it-note from the back pocket of my jeans and announce loudly "I have the POWER". With great confidence I will look down at the note and will probably end up in splits of laughter.
Yes, I did it. I sent my jeans spinning through the vortex of the washing machine and along with it my mood-lifting list.
Life's like that heehaw heehaw. So forget the list and just go with it - do the hokey pokey, do the hokey pokey, that's what it's all about!

this is so you :-) and so me too - to wash out our carefully written lists...
but y'know what works for me? long ago, i started this little thing (read about it, i must admit - not an original) - before closing my eyes at night, i think of 1 or 2 or 3 things that made me smile, or were good for me that day... works !
