In A Funk?

Do you ever have those days or
those moments, where you just
don't feel right? You just feel
in a funk?

Of course you do! We all do!

Here are a few ideas to help you get out
of it quickly:

  • Change your current environment. Go for a walk, go to a coffee shop, the park, the mall, a movie or anywhere to change your environment and shift the energy
  • Put on some music that you like. Play music that has a good vibe to it and typically makes you feel good
  • Take a shower or a bath. Even if you already took one. The refreshing water can sometimes 'wash away' the negative energy
  • Call a friend or family member who is uplifting. Don't call them to complain or unload your 'stuff' on them. Just call to have a conversation about whatever. Sometimes we feel that funk because a lack of human connection or 'positive person' connection
  • Do some writing. Write down your feelings. Writing down your feelings is a great way to release them.
  • Write down positive affirmations.
  • Write down your goals and intentions. Put your focus on the great things you intend on manifesting in your life.
  • Read an uplifting book
  • Watch an uplifting movie
  • Go volunteer somewhere. Find a stranger to be of service to in some way
  • Find a way to give something, whether it be time, money, a smile or anything that will benefit another human being. Giving is the greatest way to raise your energy vibration and feel better
  • If you are home alone, scream as loud as you can. Or punch a pillow. Some times you just need to release pent up negative energy
  • Do whatever hobby or activity that brings you joy. Even if you feel you 'should' be doing something else, don't. Do something that feels good for you.
  • Laugh. Start with fake laughing and a lot of times, if you keep it up, it will turn into real laughter
  • Think of someone you have been holding onto negative feelings towards and write them a letter of forgiveness and focus on the feeling of forgiveness. You do not need to give them the letter. It just feels good to write it and truly forgive someone
  • Stop doing everything, close your eyes and take three or more deep slow breathes and focus on relaxing your body and quieting your mind
  • Stand outside for a little while and bask in the sun light or moon light and breathe in the outside air. Spending too much time indoors can sometimes cause us to feel in a funk
I hope these quick tips help you. Remember, you're human, we all have times when we feel a little off and down. It's okay. You can stay in that funk if you choose, or choose to do something different and change your feeling.
