I'm sorry you're having a Shir**y day. If you were a girl, I'd tell you to soak in the tub and to eat tons of chocolate. I don't know, rent a movie? Get laid? That always works for me.
Mine was too.
Things have been really tough lately and I don't have much to look forward to, more of things to dread.
It can be hard, but just look to God and praise Him for all that He has given you, all that he isn't taking away. All that you are grateful for.
Hang in there. Nothing is going my way, and I know how tough it can be, really. But just know that God is on your side and things will get better. Pray.
When I have a really suck day, I stay up too late feeling sorry myself and listening to depressing music, and I break my diet. Or I buy coffee from the worst coffee place on campus, and revel in how bad it is. (If I'm feeling sensible, I make a cup of tea, or call my boyfriend and vent. The best cure seems to be reading a novel in the bath and then going to bed).
PS: I've been going through a 'winter' time too, and it was horrible. It just felt like everything was dead around me, and it's hard to tell for how long, because it grew gradually over a month or two (probably related to some traumatic experiences earlier in the year). But today things got better again for the first time. From inside, it feels like that rough patch is never going to end. But it does. Today I feel like God's with me again (I know, I know, you're a heathen, but I think you'll understand what I mean. Suddenly the co lours are brighter in the world and my problems don't seem insurmountable, even though some of them are still there).
::hugs:: I've been there on many occasions. I just try not to think about it, read a book, watch TV, spend quality time with my fiance. Any way to get it out of my mind.
I do something that helps me recenter and provide stress relief and fills me spiritually.
For me that's studying my scriptures, and going to the temple. For others, I've heard that exercising (releasing endorphin es) can do the same thing. I think it's important to do something that provides or at least in the past has provided clarity of thought and general good feelings. Whatever that may be.
Personally I talk to my boyfriend, read, game, eat a little comfort food, whatever works. Now if the day has me just plain pissed off it becomes time to destroy something with pointy objects. (I keep a stash of sticks, etc for just that.)
I've come to understand that when I feel "sick of the world," it is usually just the opposite. That I've lost touch with what is natural and am too caught up in man made nonsense... other people's bull. LOL
So the best antidote is to get outdoors... and the fewer people around, the better. Go for a hike. There's a great reservoir near me that takes an 1.5 hours to walk around and you barely see a soul while doing it. And if you've got lots of time to kill you can wander off the trail and get lost in the woods a bit.
Oh... and "Isa" is literally "Ice." So the connotation here would be more about being frozen in place... stuck, as it were.
But keep in mind that ice can also form bridges (from one river bank to another) and while crossing it can be tricks... it can be rewarding as well.
I pick on my brat, watch a little TV (which isn't often really), read a book, meditate. I find something that takes my mind off of what is bothering me. If it's really bad... I get on here and find people who are just being downright insulting and have a little fun with them =D
A very sucky day. Heathens, rune lovers, Asatru?... well anyone really.?
~a smooch for you~
