3 simple steps: escaping the funk
 |
Everyone of us has those moments when nothing seems to work, and you feel like you are dragged through life by the collar. On those moments it is always good to remind yourself that life is truly blissful. Here are some simple steps to increase your bliss and let the sunshine in again. |
Step 1
Count your blessings
When you feel you are stuck in a rut, nothing helps better than this. Look around you. What is good in your life? What fills you with joy? What could you spend 15 minutes on today to make you feel blissful again?
Go through your bliss book
This should be a simple step for every single one of my 3 simple steps. Get a pretty notebook, and use it for all the things that make you happy. Received a note that makes you smile? Put it in your bliss book. Something you did made you feel really good inside? Write it down. A picture makes you giggle? Paste it in. As I created this link I realized I promised to share some pages from my bliss book. Will take some photographs later this weekend. Step 3
Create a sacred space
Make a space just for you, a place where you can just sit and be yourself, surrounded by things you love, things you love to look at. Just sit there, and do some breathing exercises, or start Meditation

I really needed to hear this post! I've been in big funk. I took your class at The Muse Online Writer's Conference on facing your fears of writing. I'm still using the exercises you gave to help me through the low points. Thanks so much. I hope you don't mind if I link to your blog post from a writing blog I write for. I definately want others to benefit from your wisdom. Thanks again!
