i've been kind of sick for the past few days and had to slow down, natch. it's nothing serious, and i feel i'm on the mend already. maybe it's because of summer around the corner, my age, the post-feverish nap i had, something, but i got this feeling of "yeah, life is alright" washing over me. i've had somewhat of a "meh" streak, and "staying positive" is too vague for my taste. this list has some good habits that have gotten me through these streaks when they do come up. no frills, just a way to check in with myself. feel the bad feeling so it gets out, but don't dwell. don't second guess, just do. tell your friends you miss them, love them, appreciate them. drink water, even if you're not thirsty. allow for whimsy. say how you feel, even if it's uncomfortable. don't wait to say how you feel, either. making room for "what if's" too much holds you back. go for a walk if you can.
