15 Ways To Make Yourself Feel Better After A Bad Day
Buy Yourself Flowers
Not only are flowers a great pick-me up, they smell amazing and it’s an affordable way to treat yourself. Another plush, they make great home decor!
Watch A Comedy
Stream something that is sure to make you laugh! Watch your favorite movie…comedy show or Netflix series. Focus on whatever it is you choose to watch, don’t look at your phone…just be in the moment.
Get Your Workout On
Try meditating…or pull up a simple yoga routine on YouTube. Anything to get your mind elsewhere and your body going. Remember Elle Woods and her iconic words: “Exercise gives you endorphins. Endorphins make you happy. Happy people just don’t shoot their husbands. They just don’t.”
Take A Nap
Snuggle yourself in a mound of cozy blankets and pillows. Cry if you have to. Just let your mind drift and go to sleep.
Get Lost In A Book
Pick up that book you’ve had for weeks now and dive into it. Get lost in the pages and let your stress melt away. PS — make yourself a cup of tea or grab a glass of wine!
