Fightin' The Blues

                                                            FIGHTIN' THE BLUES


The doldrums, the blues, the blahs; whatever you call it, we all get it. You know those days where you feel like your couch has a gravitational pull, you can't even think about wearing anything other than your Pjs and slippers, and you dread answering the phone, if it rings. Sometimes it's hard to get out of a funk like that, but there are a few simple things you can do to fight back the lethargarian attack. My grandmother always told me if you look better you feel better.

• TAKE A SHOWER- It may seem like no brainer, but when your couch has the above mentioned gravitational pull, sometimes it's not so obvious.
• DO YOUR HAIR- After you get out of the shower, don't go for the usual ponytail, messy bun or air dry look. Blow it dry, straighten it, curl it actually style it. This is even a great time to try that new style you've been looking at.
• PUT SOME MAKE UP ON- Sometimes a little blush, eye shadow and mascara is all it takes to make a world of difference
• PICK OUT A NICE OUTFIT- I'm not saying bust out an evening gown, but break out that new shirt that is sitting in your closet with the tags still on it and nice pair of jeans or maybe even a skirt
• GO FOR A WALK- Now that you look -and hopefully feel- good, show yourself off. Even if it's only a stroll around the block, studies show that even mild exercise can do wonders for the mood. Get out there and get that blood flowing

Hopefully these simple tips will help you on those days you are just not quite feeling like yourself.
Let me know how it works for you! GOOD LUCK ;)
