When sad or angry, it takes around one day to recover. I’m talking about the normal course of living’s sad or angry. During this day, almost nothing can change this feeling. And this fact only makes it harder. It’s a sure thing that I’ll be angry at myself and that things will be on the negative side of things. Probably it will include being more edgy with other people.
The one’s that will suffer the most are the closest.
Myself on top of the list. Then close family members etc.
The nerves are more exposed. Noise is heard louder. A mess is seen faster.
The initial thought is how can I speed up and end this day. Tomorrow it will feel different.
Yesterday was such a day. Today is a bit better.
Nothing helped yesterday. And I don’t think I tried hard enough.
I do want to put an effort here to be positive and constructive. So here goes a try of new things to try:
Hear someone else talk about their struggle or emotions, and relate.
Talk to those few that hearing their voice lifts you.
Sun’s vitamin D and perspective (our size in this universe).
Use a real pen or pencil. Just to get the feel. On a paper.
Force a smile. And see that it does not help.
Leaving out the usual suspects of sleep, food, water, workout. These are the must.
Have a nice day. If not today then tomorrow.
