Positivity

How do get back to your usual more positive self when you get in a slump of negativity ?

Is there an app for that? 😅

The world is really getting to me today

And I started my period but that’s just the icing really this has been a months long slump for me

Sag forum. Plan a day trip with your bae.

It’s ruff when you’re the person people can usually count on for the bright side report and you’re on some serious let the world burn shit

I’m feeling a bit bad for myself

I do have a weekend trip to the keys planned with the hubs next month. Fingers crossed I actually go and don’t chicken out about leaving the babes with my mom

Well, starters - you mentioned it's tough when you're the go-to "sunny-side" person..

Change that thought to INCLUDE yourself. You can't always be there for everyone else but not yourself. You're responsible for how your attitude aligns with the day unfolding - only other people who you should be considering are your kiddos/hubby (altho he needs to help with that too, it doesn't all fall on you n if it does n you're feeling some type of way then ya'll need to have a discussion).. anywho.

Beyond that, I'd say anything to break out of the rut you may be in - prob hard to do with littles but.. anything to break up the monotony. You always have such n such for lunch? Change it up, even if it's the same thing - prepare it differently or make it appear different. You always watch a movie on Friday? Maybe try turning on some tunes n having a fun little dance party.. idk, for me - stuff like that, the little random bits throughout a day make a world of difference if I'm feeling weird or down n out or whatevs 🙃💛

Anytime squirrel-friend.

I don't want to assume.. but has this built up since you and the hubs had the kiddos?

It may not even be anything to deal with astro, just like.. life. You now have two kiddos to look after n things shift n whatnot. You may not feel as "fun" or "sunny side" as you once did. And that's totes normal, congrats you're prob not a robot lol 😉🙃

Anywho, yeah no i mean.. again, kid-less here but I've seen some major changes with some friends after they settle a little bit ya know.. may just be that and if that's the case - you just remember who YOU are, minus any other things in life.. and keep on keeping on. If you need to ask for help, ask for help, no shame in feeling your feels lady 💛

To get my spark,

I will plan an excursion or trip and it could be Groupon to something over never done

Fresh air walks

A good cry session

Light incense and burn candles. That can make your period go away.

Not a Sag but I may as well be with my chart 😄

For me I try to get outside, or do a project around the house to declutter helps.

Get away for a day trip or a weekend, go visit a friend you haven’t seen in some time.

SEX! Don’t laugh because a good round of endorphins can help make the blues go away!

Also, have you considered that it might be some type of postpartum that you are experiencing? I’m suggesting that because you mentioned this is a months long thing.

You will bounce back, but also, it’s ok to not always be the bubbly go getter.

I'm an introvert, so I planned spa days. Did long 90 minute sessions with aromatherapy and a Swedish/shiatsu combo massage to get all the negative energy out. Then sat around naked in the womens area in the hot tubs, misting areas and steam rooms. Spent a whole 4-5 hours just chilling and relaxing the day away for $ 150 bucks.

I do lots of outdoor activities by myself because the weather can change my mood. I will pack a lunch and go on a hike, go sit on the beach by myself, go swimming.

You have small kid/kids, right?

So planning days of little interaction with them, so your energy isn't over expended, playing at the beach or shallow water areas, interactive museums or aquariums where they can have fun without you fully supervising (basically letting them explore on their own) can give you a little bit of a parenting break as well.

Taking them on hikes where there are streams and river so they can play and skip rocks or throw them. Walk the trails with found hiking sticks, sword fighting.

All low maintenance activities that you can watch from a distance and get some peace from it.

I know with covid happening, most of this type of stuff isn't available. But the outdoor stuff is.

Even forcing a day trip a couple of hours away and spending the night can be relaxing. A change of scenery can lighten the mood.

Honestly I just say to myself " Tomorrow is only a day away " lol. Annie knew what she was talking about it
