Things I do when I have a bad day

Hey guys,

         I've been going through some bad moments lately due to various reasons. Today I hit one of those low moments, and sat down thinking how I can pick myself up, then it hit me; I always find a way to do something about the way I feel and thought to myself why not blog about it.

So here are some of the things I do to turn my bad day around.

1. Making lists

 


         I have always found making lists very soothing, being super organized is my thing, I'm the queen of to do lists. Thinking about lists takes my mind off of things and the time will pass faster.

Try it, it helps... ALOT.

2. Drinking tea


         Tea is full of antioxidants that are good for the body and mind, it will release the stress, help you get a good night sleep, and a clear mind to hopefully start fresh in the morning.

3. Drawing and doodling




         Drawing has always been my thing since I was in the tenth grade, such an amazing way to relief stress and take my mind off the craziness around me. Doodling is a fun and creative way to make you think better. I've gone through a million paper and tens of pencils, do I still have them all? Probably not. Did it help me? Heck yeh!!

4. Baking



         A great way to deal with a bad day is to end it with a good treat, better if you prepared it yourself. I've had really bad moments in my life and I kicked them on the butt by making amazing Éclairs with the help of Enad my husband, it brought us closer and  brought us peace of mind, and a couple of pounds on the scale.

5. Dancing like a crazy person

         Moving your hips and waving your arms around produce endorphins that make you happy and release stress and tension, dancing is the best medicine.

6. Taking a shower

         Hot water will make you feel better. The best feeling in the world is when you lay down after a nice shower, I absolutely adore it.

7. Watching funny videos on Youtube.  


         I can spend 10 straight hours on Youtube watching Shane Dawson' videos, he's my favorite youtuber of all times, he can turn up my whole day up side down, it's unbelievable.

Enad hates he, hehehehe. he doesn't like him because he takes a lot of my time.

Funny animals and babies videos always work, or AFV gets me every time.

8. Give and get hugs


          Hugs are the best medicine to boost your amnion system and left up your mood, I always look for someone close to hug, LOVE is made to turn everything around.

These are some of the things I do to help me feel better after a very long and weary day, hope they will help you too.

What are your favorite things to do when you feel down?

Christmas Preparations

 Hey guys, how are you all?!!

Christmas is around the corner, I can't believe how fast the last year have passed!!

It's my Third Christmas with Enad, how surreal!! It's not officially a white Christmas yet, we're still waiting, although the weather cast said no snow till the new year, but one can always wish.

The Christmas tree is out and up, Alex was so thrilled that night, he had a million things to sniff and bite on. We did enjoy the time we spent together, goofing around listing to Christmas songs in the background.



I love the Christmas spirit, what it does to us, how it manages to change us all to kids in matter of seconds. All you have to do is just listen to Christmas songs or see Santa ringing his bell in the street, It brings back such beautiful and joyful memories of my childhood, I guess I had a great experience with Christmas.

Arabic Coffee is boiling on the stove, filling the whole house with the aroma of the holidays, red wine sizzling in the clear glasses, Joyful lullabies all over, and people expressing their affections to one another. These are my memories of Christmas, I just hope it won't change because these are the exact memories I want my kids to remember when they're grown up.

My Christmas rituals include doodling. Such a great stress reliever. You get to spend Christmas night drinking hot chocolate -my favorite is with almond milk and peppermint- listening to Christmas chants, wearing your favorite PJ's and fuzzy socks, and Christmas doodling.



 
 
Christmas is all about happiness and joy, it's all about our lord Jesus Christ, that's why it's called CHRISTmas.

Don't forget to be thankful for all you have, I know I'm thankful for my family, friends, and just every joy I have in life, thank you Lord for everything.

Have a Holly Jolly Christmas everyone.


Enjoy your day.

Aseel.
