A list of things I can turn to when I need a boost. And fast.
- Do pedicures with Hadley while watching Sofia the First
- Use my mood light while I read
- Put on makeup for no reason, or curl hair
- Watch a few songs on my Celine Dion or John Mayer or Faith Hill or James Taylor concert DVDs
- Force myself to take a walk outside
- Watch something funny online for five minutes
- Watch an old favorite! Finally!
- Power nap. Only 15 minutes.
- Take a tubby! (hot, soothing bath)
- Serve someone who has mental illness. Go to the hospital psych unit with homemade cookies.
- Take a drive alone in my car and crank up my favorite tunes and sing as loud as I can
- Play the piano and sing my testimony
- See the sun. Turn OFF phone. Just be.
- Look at picture of the Savior and meditate on Him. And on my relationship with Him and my Heavenly Father.
- Look at a random slideshow of images on my computer set to random music. Don't think about it. Just push play.
- Have a Dance Party with myself or the kids in my living room, be free
- Jump on the tramp. Even in the snow.
- Do something fun with my kids that they've been asking to do for too long
- Go on a self date out for cheesecake or a pina colada
- Do something fun for me. Forget the To Do list for one hour.
- Edit a fun photo, not a deadline photo
- Count my blessings. Name them one by one.
- Be still and be prayerful in my heart, even if I can't speak
- Call and thank somebody in my life. Cry to them if I want. But mostly thank them.
