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.
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.
