A Tree Grows on Park Avenue

Things to do when you feel crummy:

1. Read your favorite children's book. I highly recommend: Max Makes a Million, Blueberries For Sal, or The Little Island.

2. Draw a picture of something in front of you: your shoes, paper clips, a pair of scissors, coffee cup (you get the idea).

3. Treat yourself to a delicious beverage: smoothie, coffee, tea, or hot chocolate (with extra whipped cream).

4. Go for a walk and discover something new.

5. Hold a purring cat. I wish I could purr--seriously, how satisfying would that be?

6. Call in healthy to work.

7. Pay a bill you have been neglecting. (Sometimes taking care of business, seriously frees up some good energy)

8. Make your bed. It feels so good to get into a made bed at the end of the day.

9. Play your favorite song over and over again.

10. Make a card for someone and send it out--sometimes it helps to get over your bad self and extend the love outward.

For extra credit:

Buy YOURSELF something from your Amazon wish list. Seriously, why leave it to somebody else to get your heart's desire?

Write this list down and then TEAR IT UP. Sometimes it feels good just to say SUCK IT to a list of things to do.
