Life is Wonderful, Kick the Blues

When everyday happenings seem to overwhelm... Sarah's top five "Life is wonderful, kick the blues", steps to brighter days.

Number one:

Clean your view of the world.
NO, I'm not talking about getting in touch with your attitude and thinking about all that you have.... (although that's not a terrible thing to do.) Now is not the time to be thinking about that. You're "IN THE BLUES" everything will seem gloomy.

I meant more literally.

Clean the windows in your Room, Kitchen, Office.... Where ever you look out from. Your favourite view, make it clearer.

Number Two:

Change your bed sheets. Put on the fluffy-est, most comfortable, clean smelling ones you can find. Puff all your pillows. A good nights sleep is one of the best things that can bring a brighter morning.

Number Three:

A change is as good as a holiday! And that's the truth. If you can manage to move things around so that it makes your everyday a bit easier to live with, than that is far better for the soul. (cost... Zero)

So start moving that furniture around.
Re-organise your work space, bring out your favourite things from hiding and put them on display.

Number Four:

BE CREATIVE! finish off that project you've been 'meaning' to get to. Start something new. Either way, create.

Number Five:

Certainly not least... Make someone else smile.
As a kid, we'd sing along to this song "Happiness came looking for me, when I started bringing happiness to others." As cliche as it may sound, nothing brings such pure peace as that of a selfless act.


There you have it, my tried and tested methods to give the blues the kick.
Have happy days, would you just look at that rainbow already!

Love
Sarah-Mechelle
