Still Feeling Yucky? Here Are More Suggestions To Make You Feel Better
The first suggestions were to smile and do an internal and external cleanse.
You can now do other things as well. Here are 3 more suggestions for you:
1. Move
This one is easier said than done, especially if you are the "let me stay put" type. But life requires movement anyway or nothing gets accomplished, so you might as well take advantage of it. There are very simple things you can do to move and hence shake your body a little, knowing that when you shake your body, you also shake your distress.
Here are some examples: You can start upon waking up. Still lying down, bend your legs and grab your knees. Roll sideways for about 10 times.
After you take a shower, lift your legs and arms to be dried. Bend your torso parallel to the ground and shake your head sideways.
While doing the dishes or preparing dinner, bend your torso sideways and rotate it. Also do bend and straighten your legs up and down. Spread your feet and repeat the bending.
While sitting at your desk: feet on the floor, bend your body until you touch your head on your knees. Let your arms go; relax a little and then stretch your arms over your head.
See? You don't have to do anything out of the ordinary to move your body. You feel great!
2. Dress up
Yes, I know; who wants to dress up when you are depressed or stressed out? That would in fact be the last thing you will want to do. Ok, so we can compromise: no need for nylons if this is too much, but you certainly have some good slacks, a nice silky shirt/blouse, a colored scarf, a blazer (whether permitting) and a good pair of shoes or sandals.
Even if you are not going anywhere, try to dress up anyway. That will change your mood, I promise. Don't forget your lipstick.
3. Improve your posture
Don't slouch. When you walk big you will feel big. Lift you head and look up, pretending there is a point of light that you will have to follow and that sits in the same direction as the middle of your forehead. Look at everything else peripherally. Walk with larger steps and a little faster than you are used to, as if marching. Give your stride a little rhythm. Until you get used to it, sing a nice song to yourself while you walk at its cadence. Let your arms loose, if you can. Don't forget to climb the stairs.
Still feeling yuck? I doubt it, but will give you more suggestions later on.
