You wouldn’t know it by my blog but I have been feeling a little…blue. Not sad, just a tad down in the dumps. I hate admitting it; it seems very weak and I hate to admot that indeed I am not superwoman. I have been thinking of what I can do to make myself feel better and after realizen that hoping and wishing would not make my dreams come true, I thought that I needed to do something.
First, I got out of my head. The inside of Rachee’s head is so very very muddy at times and thaty voice that is so negative was hushed. Instead, each and every time I thought of something negative I stopped the negative thoughts and focused on something positive. Then I did things. I’ve been talking about crocheting, reading, writing, cleaning but instead of doing it I find ways to not. (Yup, I just typed that sentence). Even if its a little somethingm it was something, Sweeping, dusuting, a row here, a page there. Its been little but its a lot and last, fake it til I make it. Yup. Smiles, and channeling my inner Pollyana.
Some may think it seems like a bad thing, pretending, faking but getting away from Rachee . I don’t care. I like leaving the problems somewhere else, I like doing something else and getting away from the gloomm.
In the words of Judy, Forget your troubles c’mon get happy, you better chase all your cares away.
Get Happy!

Great step in the right direction: when thinking negative try and turn it to positive and try and get your mind off of things y doing tings you like! I wish you a happy week!
It may sound silly, but the fake it till you make it really does work! Put on a happy face!
Ohhhh… I know that bluesy, muddy feeling and I hope hope hope it clears up soon. Very soon. As soon as it possibly can soon. 🙂
I am grateful you posted in SOCSunday. Sometimes I feel alone in my blue-ness….
Hi Julie,
Thanks for visiting.
Its a bummer feeling like this but I think admitting it is the first step. Not totally kidding. I think once you realize that there is something that you don’t like and at least acknowledge it things gets better.

Hi Audra,
Exactly! Some things are small stuff but its MY small stuff and faking it until I make it makes me not sweat as much.

I used to think people who were always so optimistice were full of it. Now I realize that those people are not so bad; they just know how to keep all of the negative thoughts aside. I WIL have a happy week and hope that yo do too.

I just wrote this on someone else’s blog. Do you see the glass as half full or half empty? The truth is that it’s both. You just have to start to change the way you see things. And baby steps are ABSOLUTELY the best way to try to beat the blues.
Stopping by from SOCS, and welcome to my life. I’m currently in the learning process of learning to stop the negative thoughts and turn them into positive. Or stop myself from thinking in negative chains that keep spiraling down and down and down…it’s a lot of work! I don’t think it is pretending, I think it is learning to deal with the troubles and trying to work through them rather than letting them get you down. It’s so hard. But I’ll get there. And you will too! Get happy indeed! 🙂
Admitting feeling blue actually takes more strength and guts than people even realize. So that was the first step.
