Oh the fog! I hate the fog! :(
I have fought that fog for so many years!! But, I have learned some tricks to get through it. First, make sure your curtains are open so you gets lots of sunshine and can see the world outside. Eat healthy things, even if it's just for that moment. Eating something healthy makes you feel a little bit stronger emotionally. If you can, go for a walk or clean the house like crazy - some kind of exercise to get the blood flowing. If you are sitting around watching tv because you feel too icky too care, try to watch things sunshiny and funny. I know it sounds silly but something like A Bug's Life or Major League or almost anything with Meg Ryan. Love stories are great - comedies are better. Just make sure it's a movie with a sunshiny, cheerful, summer background.
Get out! Even for just a half an hour or something. Sit outside or go to a park or even just for a drive to nowhere.
Do something that inspires you. Listen to music and dance with yourself. Take a bubble bath, paint a birdhouse or something, try to plan something like a birthday party or something (even if it's months away). Look through magazines and recipe books and find fun recipes and crafts to make the party fun. Even if you don't throw a party, planning one is a ton of fun!
Take some time out away from everyone and just breathe. Relax, feel the wind in your face and know that God loves you. Find something to inspire you and make you excited about life again. It may take some time but I know there's something. Even if it takes some digging, there is something.
You are stronger than you feel - I promise!!
