Blah
Okay, so I'm not doing so great on one of my goals to blog once a week. I've actually been doing quite a bit that I could blog about, but I'm just in a weird funk lately. 99% of the time I'm happy and upbeat and optimistic and the last week and a half I've just been...blah. Not really unhappy, but just blah. I know it's something we all go through, but it's so not the norm for me and it's lasting longer than I thought it would and I don't know how to get out of it. I've exercised, spent time with family, I even went to see Phantom of the Opera the other night. None of these got me out of my funk. But this weekend is Valentine's Day and then a few days later it's my birthday...and I don't want to be blah. So, what should I do? How do you guys get out of your funks? The closest thing to pull me out so far was reading the scriptures last night. Maybe I need to have an all day scripture reading marathon. Hmmmm, still have to go to work, so that wont quite work. What do you suggest?

This is tough. I work full time, so I find that taking a mental health day form work often helps me.
There must be something in the air, there seems to be a lot of this going around lately. Sorry to hear it's hit you too!
Reading your scriptures sounds like a great start. Good for you, that's not usually my first thought.
Perhaps you could also take some time just to be pampered. Grab one of your close girlfriends and go get a spa pedicure. I've only had one, but I LOVED it and can't wait to do it again. It feels so good (although it does tickle a bit) and your toes look so lovely afterwards. Heck, throw in a manicure too. You already have beautiful nails, get them polished up in time for Valentine's Day. Hopefully it will make you feel as marvelous as you look.
Hope this helps. Love ya!
Oh, I forgot to ask...how was Phantom of the Opera? I want to see it so bad!
Do something special for yourself. Treat yourself to a massage, pedicure, manicure or all three! If that doesn't work watch a sappy movie and have a good cry. Even though crying sometimes gives me a headache, it DOES nelp to relieve stress! Good luck, say your prayers, and tell your husband to give you some extra TLC!!
Ugghh!!! I've been feeling blah for MONTHS now! hee hee.
Anyhoo, for me there are a few things I can do. Sometimes a hot bath with a good book can do wonders. Sometimes just some cuddle time with the hubby will do it. But lately, I need more drastic measures!!!
Lately I have found if I go above and beyond for my family, I feel better. Like yesterday, I cleaned like a mad woman, I made rolls from scratch, I made cupcakes for dessert, I made sure we did family Home Evening. I served my family, and it really made me feel good. I'm hoping that this fix lasts a bit longer than a day or two!!!
And sometimes, a sappy movie and a good ole' cry does the trick.
Oh, isn't it wonderful to be a woman!?
Hey Sweetie, first a big HUG from both of us.
Well for me, I find that doing something for someone else or service of some type helps me.
Also, sometimes when the Blah's hit, it's because I feel like something is out of my control or I feel helpless about something, so I do things that I DO have Control over, like changing something up around the house which helps make me feel I have control over something in my life and it also lends to my creative side which always makes me happy, plus I love to "feather" my nest.
Last, Both of us find it always helps to turn up the radio to some fun music and sing and dance as if we can :) Loud Fun Music always helps.
Hope some of these ideas help you.
We Love You Lots!

Hey It's going around, That's why I have been watching Jane Austine movies. The sappy love and sad ones. I don't know why they can make me feel better. Maybe it's because it's a little something I do for my self when I have a min to My self. Sometimes you just need a min to get out so of those emotions.
Sometimes the blahs can be hard to beat! Scriptures are good. And try going for a walk or working out, the serotonin is a good natural mood lifter!
I hope you are feeling better!
So I'm a little bit late with this comment and I hope you are out of your blah-ness :) When I feel blah fresh air and working out help me... walk or jog outside does the trick.
