Back to the picnic

I suggest you make a list (wasn't it Zig who came up with a bunch of lists?). This list will be things you will do to snap out of it. First you need to identify what got you in the hole. Let's say it was the movie...

Ok so if you're planning on watching a sad movie be prepared for the water works and pull out your list and makes plans to do it ALL, if need be!


However when I do get sad, I quickly tell myself 'this feeling will pass. I've gotten out of this rut before.' And I DO! Everytime I do it's a little fast than before.

I hope this helps ;-)

Thank you, 2. I think that the movie, while it was sad, gave me more compassion for myself. I felt a need to watch it, as if I were finally ready to go there.

That is a great idea, a list of activities. Yes, the sadness does pass much quicker for me as well. I think it is coming up more right now bc we are in the final phases of the D paperwork. I think there are also layers related to family. All of it is creating more self awareness and opportunity for growth
