“I got the blues…”

Greetings all!

What do you do if you are feeling stuck? Or feeling blue? These past months have been challenging for everyone, to say the least. Physically, we have been stuck at home, but we have also been stuck emotionally - filled with uncertainty and anxiety. Our plans, too, have been stuck in COVID limbo. 

So how do we get unstuck? How do we find energy and motivation and hope to snap out of feeling blue and start venturing out both physically and emotionally? 

Sometimes we might need something profound to help us snap out of it but sometimes all we need to feel unstuck is just to do something, no matter how small! 

Just get up and start moving - make a list, have a snack, read a recipe, watch a funny video, work on a puzzle, go for a walk, call a friend, meditate, write in your journal, have a cup of tea, make some marmalade, or comment on my blog (mark your comment "private" if you do not want it published)...

This quote by D.H Lawrence always perks me up and makes me smile!

“I got the blues thinking of the future, so I left off and made some marmalade. It's amazing how it cheers one up to shred orange and scrub the floor.”

Have a great week and drop me a line!

  1. Perfect time to learn to be "in the present"... to recover the skill of stopping and slowing down, appreciate silence and taste its peace again, take a break from the world's feedback and re-introduce ourselves to who we really are on the inside and nurture that person lovingly with acceptance. I see it as an unofficially mandated healing time but we have the right to exercise it or ignore and fight it.
