Things To Do When You're Sad

Getting sad occasionally is normal, in fact I guess in a way it's healthy. Life isn't exactly all sunshine and rainbows and it's okay to feel sad sometimes. However, when you are feeling a bit down in the dumps, it's important to remember that it isn't going to last forever. It may not seem it now, but things will get better because the good (but also scary) thing about life is that everything is temporary. 

Listen To Music 

Depending on how down I'm feeling, the music I listen to differs. Sometimes I like to listen to sad music because it makes me feel like I'm not alone and I can also relate to the lyrics, whereas sometimes I listen to happy music that can lift me up. There are some great 'Mood' playlists on Spotify which I would recommend looking through! 

Read A Book

I love reading no matter how I'm feeling, but it's especially great when you're feeling sad because you can just pick up a book and lose yourself in a world that isn't yours and forget about why you were even feeling sad in the first place. 

Take A Walk 

It's good to get out of the house when you're not feeling 100%, fresh air is good. I often like to walk to a park area near me listening to music, and then I'll sit on the bench in front of the lake and read, or sometimes I take my camera with me. It doesn't really give me a chance to think about why I'm sad and I just get lost in whatever I'm doing. 

Watch A Movie Or TV Show 

Watch one of your favourite films or TV shows, anything that makes you feel happy! '10 Things I Hate About You' is my go to movie, it's one of my absolute favourites and it always makes me feel better. If I want to watch a TV show, it will most likely be 'The Vampire Diaries' or 'Friends'.

Dance It Out 

Put on some good music and just dance it out. You could do this with a sibling, or a friend, or even just by yourself. It will most likely make you feel better and probably make you laugh too! 

Take A Relaxing Bath

Add in a bath bomb if you have one, I recommend one from Lush, or just have a bubble bath. Put on some calming music, or some Netflix and just relax. 

Lastly, remember that you're bloody amazing and you're doing a great job. 

I hope this blog post helped you in some way, thank you for reading!

Love,

P.S I'm changing my post day to Sunday as it's just more convenient for me, there may also be mid week posts like this one but I'll always tweet about it! All my social media is down below. Hope you're having a great week so far!

Country Park Walks

Hi! 

Yesterday I went on a walk and I took some pictures (when do I not?) and I thought I'd share the pictures I took along the way and while I was there. 

I took my book with me and read for a while whist I was there and it was so relaxing and is now one of my favourite things to do!

The leaves are slowly turning different colours, which means it's basically Autumn, eek!

I hope you enjoyed this post and I will see you next time. Thank you for reading!

Plymouth | Summer Holidays 2015

Hi!

Last week I went to Plymouth for the weekend and I thought I'd share with you some of the pictures I took whilst I was there. 

I took these at a place I don't really remember the name of but there was a stream thing (I'm so great at describing places aren't I?) and my younger sister had a little paddle and it was a really cute little area. 

 One evening we went to a small, quiet beach and we watched the sunset. I've never actually watched the sunset at a beach before and it was so beautiful, these pictures really don't do it justice.

I didn't take too many pictures, but I hope you liked this post anyway. Thank you for reading! 

Love,

Things I Want To Do This Summer

Hi! 

So, I was reading Tanya Burr's blog and she did a post like this last month and today is a really lovely day and it's really starting to feel like Summer, so I thought why not do a blog post on the things I want to do this Summer? Wow, that sentence was really long. 

Go for a walk in the mornings when it's nice. I think that taking a walk in the mornings would really start my day off and just be a good way to clear my mind before the rest of my day begins. 

Read more books. Like I said in my last post, I really love reading but I find that I don't make enough time for it. So this summer I'm going to make time to read, even if it's only for ten minutes before I go to sleep. 

Go outside more. I'm always inside on my laptop and phone and I really do need to be outside more. Even if it's just for walks, or a picnic with my family, it'll still get me outside instead of sitting in bed on Twitter, Netflix and YouTube all day. (oops haha) 

Make a summer scrapbook. I think this would be a really fun thing to do since it could be like your little summer memory book. It would also be cool to look back on at the end of the summer or even at the end of the year and see what you were up to. 

Take more pictures. Pictures are moments in time that have been frozen, preserved forever. You will never get the same moment again. The pictures that we take are our memories and they allow us to go back and experience the feelings we once had when we captured them split seconds in time, good or bad. I just think it's really important that you take a lot of pictures and I will definitely be doing that this summer. (wow, that got really deep) 

So those are my plans so far. I hope you enjoyed this post and let me know what you want to do this Summer in the comments down below. Thank you for reading! 

Love, 
Shannon
