I think one of the most important things in this world to do is take time out of each day or each week and just do something that I love to do or that relaxes me and makes me happy. Life can get so stressful sometimes between working, school, relationships, family issues, personal struggles. But one indisputable fact is that the only person that can truly make you happy is yourself. Sometimes, you don’t have that other person around (family member, significant other, friend….insert other title here) around to lift you up so you have to do that for yourself.
My favorite things to do when I’m feeling down or stressed is play a game. That might sound a little juvenile but taking my mind off troubles and concentrating on something else like a puzzle or something really helps a lot. I also love to write. (obviously!) For me, writing things out is the only way I can problem solve or get stuff off my chest. Whenever I have a friend in trouble and looking for advice on how to cope, I ask them what is it that they love to do that doesn’t require money, doesn’t require a second party and that they can do every day and anywhere. That, most likely, is going to be the thing you do that helps you get through a difficult time. And whatever it is, doing it regularly can probably help you keep your mind and spirit at ease.
I’m interested to know what YOU like doing the most? What are the things that make you happy that only you alone can achieve?
And as usual, thanks for reading!
