Nothing better than at the end of the day sitting down with a nice cup of coffee and the amazing scent of a candle. I was having a really bad morning yesterday, so mam and Katie got me this amazing candle to cheer me up! It is such a simple thing but it really does help to have a few candles lit in a few different rooms. It definitely helps me to relax especially at night time, when I usually find it hard to relax as I usually get panicky at night time, the candles help a good bit. At this stage I have candles in every room!
It is just something small that helps me on days were I am really agitated, it is these little tricks that really help me to relax and get better each day! Em X

When I was at my lowest point possible, someone said to me that the best medicine for when you are feeling down is laughter. I thought that this was a silly thing to say. How could someone feeling as low and lost as I did laugh? It was around the time that I left work and that sentence stuck in my head for a very long time. I could not understand how laughing could make you feel better. I thought it was such a silly thing to say, laughing is such a simple thing to do, why was I so afraid to experience it?
From then on I was so determined to laugh.I could not understand why it was so important to laugh and smile, but then again I couldn't remember the last time I had a proper giggle and smiled sincerely. One evening I was so down that I searched the house for my DVD of my favourite comedian. For the first time in a long time I couldn't stop laughing, it was so addictive and infectious. From then on, any time I am in a bad place or I feel down, I either watch a good comedy film or I read a funny book. Not only am I getting some of that all important me time, I am also relieving any stress that I may have. It has been proved that laughter strengthens your immune system, boosts your energy and helps to relieve the effects of stress, so why not use this priceless and powerful tool! If you are feeling up to it why don't you invite a small group of friends together and do something fun together, remember laughter is infectious!!! I can't wait to hear how you get on! Peace, Em x |
The best medicine for when you are feeling low is some me time. Whether that is a nice long bath, a jog to burn some energy, some alone time playing an instrument, a facial, reading a book or painting, it is so important to have some relaxing me time. Sometimes we get so caught up in our crazy hectic lifestyles that we actually forget what makes us happy, what our interests are and what our hobbies are. As we get older, it is vital to discover yourself, your likes and your dislikes and even more important to make sure you don't lose yourself.
