Grey Day - blah!

[Kimberley]

Hya all,

God I am having a really flat day. The weather is all grey and rubbish - in fact it's so grey you can't even TELL if it's raining or not.

So I can't really go for one of my walks, which usually makes me feel better. I have a ton of things I probably should do, but I just can't get motivated. I feel at a loss, which is a trigger for me. Not that I will drink, but I just don't like the triggery feeling.

Any suggestions for what to do on a grey, blah day? Don't suggest eating cake as I'm on a diet....

Ta,
K x

Think of a small project you can do that can be completed and will give you some sense of accomplishment or satisfaction. Sort out a chest of drawers, a closet. Not a big thing, just a small one. Then another if you feel like it.

Hi Kimberley,

Got a hooded raincoat and waterproof boots? I love to walk too, and it's kind of nice in the rain if you aren't getting soaked. I download books on tape and listen to them on my ipod as I go along. Gets my mind off myself (for a change). ; )

I like the closet clearing idea, too.

Yesterday was grey and blah here in the morning so I took my kiddos to school and jumped back in bed for a few hours. Woke up feeling marvelous and productive




Day 94 and counting......

I like all your ideas, so thanks for those, but I just don't feel motivated enough to start anything let alone finish it.

OOOOH don't even mention the sweet stuff - I also have sugar cravings. Funny how crappy weather can do that. I would KILL for some M&Ms. But I won't. I am drinking fruit tea instead. Though it's not the same as chocolate. I can just see the headline now: "Murderous madwoman in mindless M&M melee! - Shopkeeper says: 'She went schizo when I said we'd run out of the peanut variety.' One purple-haired lady, known only as K, is being held in custody."

Turn the music way up loud, sing out at the top of your voice and dance like a mad woman. Then collapse on the sofa in a happy heap

A long hot bath always helps put me in a nice relaxed mood Bubbles don't hurt either! :bath2:

I actually love when it's all gray and cloudy out. I guess because it's always so darn sunny and hot here, that an overcast sky and/or rain is actually a nice change (not to mention makes it a few degrees cooler). A couple of weeks ago, I had the day off work and we had the edge of a tropical storm pass over. It was absolutely torrential. I grabbed my cup of coffee and curled up on the couch with my book and was just as happy as a clam!

Hope your yucky mood passes soon!!
