We are so sorry we haven't posted on umm... About a month (oh god that's terrible) but we have both been really busy with school, tests, personal things and so haven't really had any time away from that! However we promise we will make it up to you and we have a few ideas! (But won't give it away... We want it to be a surprise) anyway today we thought we would do a bit of an update and just a quick message! So here goes:
We know that sometimes you can just have those days where you don't want to get out of bed, you don't want to go to school (if you still go), you don't want to do an activity etc. Believe us when we say that some (most) days that's us struggling to motivate ourselves! If you follow us on twitter you probably already know this! So today, I thought I would just tell you what I do to motivate myself when I'm stuck in a bit of rut:
1. Ask yourself whether this problem will matter in a years time! Will it matter If I haven't done my homework for tomorrow and I'm doing in the evening before or even the morning, will it my problem that I have tonight matter next year! And not gonna lie most the time the answer is no!
2. Talk to someone! Text a friend either saying I'm feeling rubbish and just need someone to talk to, or just say hey and start a conversation, it doesn't have to be about how you are feeling! Just talking will help and you never know they could be having just as bad an evening as you and you might be helping them out!
3. Listen to calm, quiet music! This clears your head and just takes you to another world really! This is a bit like my 5th point but probably just easier to get! You can probably just search on youtube relaxing playlist and it will come up with something calm and helpful! Equally as helpful for me is listening to your favourite song/band/album/singer! Mine at the moment is frozen! All the songs are amazing and the lyrics are actually amazing and really relatable!
4. I know this one sounds stupid but it really does help me! Search on the internet happy quotes or funny quotes or uplifting quotes or something like that then screenshot your faves and just read them! Not only will this help you in the future as well but just reading some good quotes can lift your spirits and be quite inspirational (cheesy)!
5. There are a few session kind of things that I listen to when I am stressed! 'Smiling mind' is an app you can get from the AppStore and it is amazing! At the beginning and end it asks you how you are feeling and almost every time I have felt so much better afterwards! There are sessions to progress and it just makes you feel happy and calm! Another I like is 'calm.com' recommended by Tanya Burr! This again is really relaxing and both of these really help with my anxiety and stress!
6. Smile! I know this sounds kinda stupid and basic but like I said in the title it helps sooo much!! Even if you are just forcing a smile it will make you feel so much better and eventually I even find myself naturally smiling or laughing that isn't fake of forced!
(7. This is a bit of a side point but if your problem has anything to do with friends or anything similar like you are angry with them, don't reply immediately! Wait until you are calm as when you are in an angry mindset you will most likely say things you don't mean and regret saying later on!)
So that is what I do when I am angry, stressed, unhappy or when my anxiety is building up! I think i just wanted to say that if you are happy that great but if you don't feel great then don't worry, it's normal to feel down! Talking to someone will always make you feel better but if you don't feel comfortable then just remember all my points above! Finally, a quote that is kind of like my 'motto' in life:
I really hope you find this post helpful and please comment below with any other ideas you have as I know they will be helpful for me and for lots of other people!
We love you lots and lots,
Alice and Millie <3 x
