So, you are sad
We don’t know in advance how sad you are. This might be easily fixable and it might be long-term fixable, but it is fixable.
- First, we’re going to make sure that physically we are on the right page.
- 1L water (sad people take on a lot of carbs and little water, let’s flush the system and get a big poo started)
- Next, remember these things
- Honesty.
- All stress comes from a lie.
- But, under stress people make things up.
- Honesty.
- Positivity exercises:
- 20 good things that have happened recently.
- Deep breath.
- (you won’t want to do this before the 20 things) Now, How is this feeling a gift?
- Try working again for 1 hour.
- Run/exercise
- If still sad.
- Tell people.
- Message a couple of friends first
- Put a message on social media. Which should be at this point “I’m having an emotional day and am finding it hard to concentrate”. Tell people soon so it’s NOT a surprise if you need/want support later.
- Brainstorm possible causes:
- Who are you angry at?
- Where is the lie?
- Try working for 1 hour
- If still sad.
- Get in car. Go and buy pens and paper and then go to a coffee shop. Put everything down on the page.
- Tell people.
