Feeling sad or depressed?
Try writing about what makes you happy.
For me, it’s seeing bunnies in my neighborhood on my way home since I
usually don’t see them in the morning. I
like stopping and talking to them for a few minutes while giving them their personal space. Although I’m sure they probably think I’m
kind of weird, they also seem to like the company. Then, there’s exploring the forest preserves
with a friend when we came across a doe with her baby deer. We couldn’t stop
telling the beautiful doe they were so adorable. Like the
bunnies, she stuck around for a while before leaving. Wow!
What an adventure for a city girl like me. That was cool!
Get the idea? Of
course, if it’s something that you can do right now, do it instead of writing
about it. If not, try to think about
what’s the next best thing that would make you happy that you can do or write
about. Don’t wait for someone else to
make you happy. As part of your
self-care, make it a habit of asking yourself what makes you happy or what
would make you happy. Then, write about it or do it.
