I came across
this list at the gorgeous and effervescent GalaDarling and it couldn't have come at a better time. I'm home sick today - no voice, a big snotty & blocked nose, a lovely Autumn cold has hit me hard! So I'm taking time out, perusing the jewels on the internet and think I'll give some of these a go too. My faves are below.
Thanks Gala. Here's wishing you all some sparkle, especially on your dark days xo
Do something good for someone else, even though you may not want to. Do a favour, help them find something, give them an item which will help them in some way. Start the flow of positive energy. Eat the best chocolate you can get your hands on. In bed. Or in the bath.
Write a list of things that you appreciate right now, in the present moment. Focus on each of them & let the love inside you well up. Even when things appear to be going really, really badly, there are always things to be happy about
Put on your favourite pair of high heels & walk up & down your bedroom/hallway doing your best Miss J impersonation. Have a friend or neighbour who is willing to humour you offer critique. “Girl, you walk like a busted-down freight-train.”
Write multiple lists of everything you want. Material possessions, relationships, work, lifestyle, everything. Pin them up by your door so you see them all the time.
Plan a party with a theme that makes you feel really, really happy.
Bake heart- or bunny-shaped cookies. Give them away.
Hug your friends.
Believe that everything is always getting better.
