Every morning I wake up with the same fear of what's going to be today. From my own experience I found that learning not to pay attention to this fear is the best way to start to deal with it! And I have to be honest with you, it really helps me to move on with my life!
Long car ride today, enjoying the moment
Learning not to pay attention to this fear is the best way to start to deal with it...
I love putting the makeup on (a must for me), having breakfast and drinking my coffee in the morning. It does help: to start inside the comfort zone and just prepare for the day. I know it might sound easy but does life have to be complicated? When you suffer from depression, making things as simple as possible is the best way to go!
It is very gloomy here in Saint-Peterburg, and it rains all the time. In these kind of days you don't really wanna go out and do anything in general. It is also one of those times you choose to enjoy small things, get cozy in your little place and forget about outside. Here you search for the peace inside and learn to be independent from outside world. No matter how it looks, your life is what you create inside of your heart.
Enjoying the scent of this amazing candle from this morning!
What I have been thinking about before I filmed my last video was what I could actually speak about in order to help someone, in order to comfort the broken, at least to try... I thought the best was to talk about betrayal, cos it is something it's so hard to overcome by yourself, and it also can be hard to share it with someone even close to you. It is very personal and very painful subject. But I tried to put my thoughts in one video and hope it makes it a bit easier for you to deal with betrayal. Remember, that no matter what happens in your life, it is temporary and it is gonna go, but you have to work on yourself to heal the old wounds. I hope, words I managed to say will help you somehow and make you feel better.
Fall brings many positive and negative moments into our lives. It happens, that in the cities like mine, fall is really gloomy and at times sad season as I mentioned in my previous post. It can bring some negative emotions, most of them are connected with our physical changes: weather changes, sun does not almost come up, days become colder which lead to lack of vitamins, immune system weakening (which leads to coldness), endorphins are on a lower level than in summer (they are responsible for our feeling of well-being). Forgive my unprofesional description, but you get the point;)
So it can happen you are left with the coldness and in your bad with a really bad mood, what to do then?
I guess when this happened to me before, it led to depression as well and made me feel really lonely as I did not have like people to take care about me. And I for sure thought I needed to be taken care of, as I AM sick, sounds familiar?
1. Don't feel sorry for yourself, it's just a cold, you will get better and get back to normal life faster than you think, so make yourself comfortable with making some ginger tea and watching a good movie in your beloved bed, which is also your closest friend right now:)
I simply use a ginger tea bag, which I always keep at home for times of need, lemon and some honey. You can use only lemon and honey with any other tea, or you can use a fresh ginger as well - up to you, you just need to drink more warm liquids. Create a cozy atmosphere by simply lighting up the candles.
2. Remember weather changes don't necessarily need to make you the unhappiest person in the world. The more you realize, that your mood changes are connected with the weather to a certain extent, the more you know how to take it easier and how to help yourself overcome depression or just a simple bad mood.
3. If you don't have a cold, you can do some sports which encreases endorphines level but that's and blog post I guess:)
4. Wether feeling sick physically or not, keep it positive, by talking to yourself and giving yourself love, fuel yourself with some positive thoughts.
Hope this is helpful,
I hope you get better very very soon,
Love you,
Anya
