Do you feel beyond blue? Sad? Sore? Hopeless? Is the prospect of getting through the day beyond you? That's okay. Focus on getting through the next hour first. Journaling is an excellent way to get some perspective and let off some pressure. You don't need a fancy journal or a special place to write. An old notebook and a lapdesk in bed will do. Write about a fond memory you have. Think about a place you would like to visit. Share a favorite Bible verse and why it means something to you. Don't worry about spelling or grammar. This is for you.
Does journaling seem too intimidating? That's okay. Start smaller. Make a list instead. Make a list of ten things you are grateful for. Make a list of ten people who have impacted your life in a positive manner. Make a "bucket list" of ten things you want to do before you kick the bucket. You might be surprised. Thinking about positive experiences and people and dreams may help chase the blues away. If not for the day, at least for the moment. :)
