Things that made me feel better
Date: August 29, 2021 Author: Sequoia *How you love yourself is how you teach others to love you.* ***Rupi Kaur*** When was the last time that you prioritize yourself? The last time that you check yourself? Can you still remember the last thing that you have bought to yourself? Or the last phrase that you uttered to yourself? **(I'm sorry for the redundancy.)** ________________________ This morning, my finger just automatically worked on their own and start typing the things I felt inside at that very moment. If you haven't read it yet, you can click this link. Actually, it was just all about my rants in life that I wanted to release through writing. https://read.cash/@Sequoia/just-letting-it-out-8a17ebda Waking up feeling empty is completely strange and difficult. I can't identify the reason behind it and that makes it hard for me to solve it. However, I tried several things to brighten up my day and shake off the emptiness that linger all over my body. I wanna share it with you all tonight. ________________________ **The things I do to feel better** **Pray** Starting your day with a prayer is really the key. Talking to God is the best thing to do if you wanted to release the burden that you are feeling inside. Well, I prayed a bit late this morning because I check my phone first and maybe that adds up to my unwanted emotions. However, I would realy suggest that before you do anything, always pray first. It helps a lot. **Write it down** Ever since before, writing really became my way of expressing myself and my feelings. Whenever I am mad, happy or sad. I always get my paper and pen to write it down until I feel better. I dunno, but writing the things I feel really helps me a lot. **Talk to myself** Don't get me wrong. It's not like what you think it is. What I mean is that I talk to myself in the mirror and say some encouragement. Yes, I often do that. Don't worry, I always make sure that no one sees me hihi. **Listening to Christian songs** Well, I always believe that music have a big impact to our moods. If you listen to a jolly song, you feel alive. If you listen to sad songs, you will also feel sad. That's why, whenever I am not fine, listening to sad songs was really not in my list. I choose to listen to Christian songs because it has a good effect in my mental aspect and to my soul as well. It could also lead me to reflect and evaluate things. **Take a bath early** Since the lockdown started, I always took a bath very late or not at all. I feel so lazy to do it. However, I decided to have a bath very early than my usual time because I believe that it will give me a refreshing feeling. **Read** Okay, I am not a bookworm. I even have a hard time finishing a whole book. However, it's completely different here in readcash. This site really awaken my reading mojo. **Watch a movie** This always work for me hihi. I watched almost 3 movies this day and it really made me forgot about my dramas in life. ________________________ That's all. I am not sure if you guys also do this things but it was really effective for me. Have a safe and sound night everyone.

We all have the same ways to feel us better, I do talk to myself in the mirror as well tell positive things and encouragement for myself. I think it's not bad at all, it's like we are also communicating with ourselves.
True. Sometimes, all we need is a small convo with ourselves.
I do most of them. Tho, that taking a bath early, I can't. It's always @6pm
My mom would never stop ranting if I do that hihi.
I always do that. napapagalitan naman ako pero di na masyado hahaha. They say it's bad. Some says it's not. I don't know who to believe hahaha. Pero okay pa naman ang pakiramdam ko. Hahaha char ngayon medj binabawasan at inaagahan ko ng mga 1 minute
Go ako sa take a bath, sis. 3 x a day para mas masaya hehe. Ako paggising, then lunch taz before matulog hehe.
Ayyy grabe sis haahha. 3x a day tlaaga? Wow.
haha it's a fact, sis 😁
It is very useful to do the things we like the most in order not to feel bad when we are starting to feel it. To look for pleasant occupations is a good way for a peaceful soul.
That's right. We must do the things that gives peace to our soul.
We need to always make it a habit to pray first before any other thing. I think doing that first will make you feel better. Other things can then follow suit.
True. Put God first before anything else.
Pray, listen to some love songs, watch YouTube videos, and read some novels are what makes me feel better when I am stressed or sad.
Nice 🤗
Ilang beses nabang na feel yang empty feelings na iyan. Maiba sya sa pakiramdam para akong buhay na patay. Music lang answer ko sakin. Pero minsan pag di effective watch Anime and KDrama lang. Ang iba talaga sa pakiramdam ng ganyan. Yan ang ayaw na ayaw kong ma feel. Wala namang problema pero awan baga, di ko rin maipaliwanag yong real feelings ee. And legit yong pagkausap sa sarili. Well yong sakin naman sa utak ko lang ginagawa. Nakaka tulong sin naman ee.
True ate nu? Ang hirap. Di mo alam kong anong dahilan ng ganyang pakiramdam. Hays :(
There are many things also that makes me happy and forget my problems in life. And watching anime is the most that makes me happy..Watching movies also ..genres action and fiction.even Romcom
Same, watching anime also helps me.
I just watched a movie. I think it's the first part of the Korean series but I like it. Fast and Furious vibe with crime investigation and bringing down the bad guy. I wish Filipinos can come up with that kind of movie at wag puro kabit kabit.
True ahhaha. Jusko lagi nlng kabit2 yung mga theme ng mga movies dito satin.
Prayer is a big help for me especially when I have anxiety attacks.
Yeah. Prayer helps a lot.
Watching a movieeeee, Kdrama is the key for me hihi. 💗 And yes ofc, we have to pray always to God about everything.
Di talaga mwawala yung k-drama mars eh nu? Hihi
Hahaha shempreee marss
