There are times when everything comes together. Life is ticking along perfectly and you couldn’t be happier. These times are the best!
And then there are times when it all seems to unravel. No matter what you do.
Unfortunately we can’t solve all of your problems for you. But we can offer these 10 tips to get you smiling again. Because even turning on a smile is enough to cheer you up.
- Surround yourself with inspiring things. From pictures to poems, from flowers to friends.
- Write down 5 reasons why it is worth getting out of bed in the morning. Every day. And then look back at your old reasons and have a laugh.
- Remember that you are awesome. Other people are awesome too. There’s no need to compare.
- Take time for the things that make you feel good. Like reading a book in bed. Getting all dressed up. Listening to music too loud.
- Enjoy some time on your own. Do something peaceful, or maybe do nothing at all.
- Remember that your body is not an ornament. Be thankful for all that it can do for you.
- Be nice to yourself. It’s really hard to be happy when someone is mean to you all of the time.
- Count your blessings, not your blemishes. I bet no-one else has noticed your back fat anyway.
- Live a life that you are proud of. One that you will enjoy telling people about over a game of bridge and a cup of tea in your later years.
- Treat yourself as no.1. Because it’s unlikely that anyone else will.
