Gloomy days?
Someone mentioned to me that they hate January as it is a dark and dreary month that seems to go on forever and they can't wait for spring to come. OK, I understand, but let's not wish our life away....
We are already half way through January (how time flies!) and a quick calculation tells me that the days are already 46 minutes longer than they were on the shortest day last month. It's getting brighter earlier and staying daylight just a little longer in the afternoon(!).
If we're feeling a little despondent, what is it that we're thinking about to make us so? There is a relatively simple answer to that,......change your thinking. If we think about bills, delays, problems, difficulties, debt, that's what will affect our emotions and thinking and worrying about them won't make them better. If we change our thinking to think of how we would like things to be, to think of the good things that we are fortunate to enjoy in life but may take for granted, then we'll start to feel better.
We can also change our posture, bring ourselves up more upright (use the Alexander Technique to help you if you are familiar with it) as that helps to lift our spirits. If we can get some exercise that increases our breathing and circulation rate, this will help blow the cobwebs off too so we are livelier, more positive, confident and open to new ideas. If we drink lots of water (3 litres a day) it helps to detox us, calm us down and wake us up. If we smile and have a laugh as I wrote about last week, we create endorphins that neutralises adrenalin so we are calmer.......and happier!
There are lots of small ways of making the days a lot better. Yes, the days are getting slightly longer and brighter...:-)
