Little, Everyday Things To Do

Hi everyone!

I've made a lot of improvements and I think I'm definitely heading in the right direction. However, there are always going to be bad days, and I've been in a bit of a storm recently. I was wondering, does anyone have little things they do just to recenter themselves, or just give them a little peace or satisfaction?

For me, if I'm stressed, I clench everything as tightly as I possibly can for as long as I can, and then slowly relax my muscles. It does help a little! My problem right now is more sadness than stress but thought it might be useful.

Hope this helps others as well, brainstorming is always a good plan :)

Sending hugs

well, I consult my astrologer (they are a friend of mine), to see what the general state of happening is for everybody. Then, I try to put my own situation into this context.

For example, if the stars say Saturn is in a harsh square, it means everyone would be very edgy and irritable. If that's how I also feel, I then check with people to see if they are experiencing something like this too. If they are, I realize that it's a general mood in my community, perhaps propagated by a collective consciousness. I then ignore my own edginess, and become mindful that I am potentially dealing with a volatile powder keg when talking to people.

Very nice! That's awesome :)

Weird I know. Listen to soundtracks by Hans Zimmermann on YouTube. Guys a genius
Agreed, beeeautiful soundtracks. My friend saw a sort of live performance thingy, although not with the man himself, but I was still incredibly jealous!
