It's okay to not be okay...
Sounds of a Kdrama right? or maybe the title of Demi Lovato's song *"OK not to be OK"*? Let's talk about it. You had a bad day, or a major setback. One thing goes wrong, everything does. Some unexpected obstacles might come your way. Things haven't been going well and makes you feel uneasy. You feel negative vibes, no motivation, worrying and really don't know what to do. ***It's okay to not be okay.***
Don't think that you are not allowed to cry. It's okay to cry and admit you're not okay. That's alright! Don't hold back your tears. There is no perfect person and you don't always have to be strong. It's hard to pretend even if you can't. Everyone goes through hardships whether it's due to stressful deadlines, financial problems and personal relationships. Bad days are temporary at all, it doesn’t last forever. **SOME THINGS CAN MIGHT HELP YOU WHEN YOU'RE NOT OKAY:** ****COMFORT YOURSELF**** Eat something or do something to comfort yourself. Food is a huge part of how we feel. Treat yourself to something relaxing. *Just like me, everytime I have a bad day, I eat something to make me feel better. Sometimes I get a haircut also to reduce stress.*
****LISTENING TO MUSIC**** Some people listen to their favorite songs to make them happy. Choose a variety of positive music to liven up the mood, may it be your favorite song or a Hillsong songs.
****CATCH UP WITH FAMILY MEMBERS AND FRIENDS**** It helps that you talk to a family member or a friend. There are some persons who don't want to open up to other people. Don't want to talk about problems, they just keep it to themselves. It's easier if you have someone to advise you.
****PRACTICE DEEP BREATHING**** Practice deep breathing to calm yourself. Take a breathing exercise for relaxation and to relieve stress.
Well, it's up to you how to manage yourself. I just gave you some options that you can work on. Don't force yourself to get better, it takes time. And all of us should be allowed to fall apart so that we can find ourselves again. Feel what you need to feel and then allow yourself to move on to better days. And always remember ***it's okay to not be okay****.* *ImageSource*: Google

I write to express my self and listen to music when Im not okay. There's a point in my life that I want to cry but I cant. Then I listen to music especially to Truce by twenty one pilots, daddy and fix you by coldplay, and one more light by linkin park, i burst into tears and felt more okay. Also hope to read more from you.
