Honestly, I buy chicken and chips and rent a DVD box set of a good TV show.. Doesn't help in the long term but it's good for around 4 hours. |

Reading. It lets me escape my world and whats going on in reality and escape into a characters life, something I don't actually have to deal with. |

yes music helps for me too, but what really helps and it may sound a bit obsessive, but i get out the cleaning supplies. Do the dishes, clean the counters, sweep, mop, take the trash,vacume,scrub the toilet...etc...i think its more of a focusing tool, i havent really found out how to comfort myself. |

I usually like silence around me so I take to my room and bed and just be alone with my thoughts. |

Music. Sometimes, nothing else makes me feel better but to cry and pray. Then sleep. |

Going to the mall and touching the Prada and the manolos that are on sale so that I can almost afford them... To really make it go away. I actually FIND a pair I can have. That makes everything better!
It makes everything else just go away like background noise. |

always think about your QUALITIES.think about GOOD THINGS you did in past
remember the succsess in your life you achieved.
look around you are better in many things than others.
look how many problems people have which you dont have.
and make a strong commitment that you want to be out of this situation at any cost. |

Prayer, counting my blessings, praising God. Nothing like focusing on something way bigger than yourself to put thing in perspective. |

Beer, pizza, and football during football season. The rest of the year maybe a hot bath and a nice facial mask with music and candles. |

A pedicure or massage does the trick for me. Also, eating a very unhealthy dessert with my best friend works as well! |

Music, a comedy, prayer, checking what I am eating (that can make me depressed if I have too much sugar or carbs), take a walk, read a good book, hug my cat (who hugs back!). |

Whatever works for you, go a head and do it. For me, I first make myself realize that this situation is only temporary and will soon pass, and, better things are on the horizon. Then, I generally take myself out for a nice dinner, have some wine, then go home and put some nice relaxing new age music on the stereo and relax. Sometimes, I will get a massage after dinner. |

I have a water fountain thats sends such gentle sounds of water trickling on the rocks ,I turn that on and I get a hot bath and some hot herbal tea, after that I find either a great book or a great movie and I just relax and give myself time to rejuvinate . |

the first poster said it well "torrid affair with Ben & jerry" but not every time... Enya is therapeutic for me too! I concur!
I also pray, God comforts me:) He knows everything that has happened, but still likes to hear it from you, so I pray to him, I tell him all of my worries, and ask for his help... He knows everything and whats best, and it comforts me to know that he wouldn't let anything happen to me that I could not handle!
I also like to take a bubble bath... then I slip into my silky smooth pjs, furry slippers, light candles, and put a jazz cd in, I make hot cocoa and put some bailey's in it (its soooo delectable!strongly recomend!!) and just let the aroma of the candles calm my nerves... you can find soothing candle scents just about anywhere!
Chamomile tea is great for when i don't have baileys ;)
but for those times when I can't relax, or sit down for two seconds put together... usually when I'm facing a deadline or if I;m angry about something... I get into a cleaning frenzy, I tire myself out by laundry, cleaning the kitchen, scrubbing the floor, organizing my home office, cleaning my sheets, etc etc... by the time I'm done, I'm ready to crash, and have a clean house to wake up to, and clean fresh sheets to fall asleep wrapped in...
so did i just ramble or what? and its friday, so after the art showing I have tonight, i will be taking that bath, and getting comfy and having my special hot cocoa!!! and I am sleeping in tomorrow, and hopefully waking up to fresh fallen snow!!!
TGIF!! happy weekend everyone!! |
