#Nostriches do you have any tips and tricks on how to chill after bubbling up with frustration? Today was a tough one... 🥶 #grownostr
Discussion
Lean back sipping a cold 🥶 one as you listen to chill music 🎼
Thanks! 💜 If you have a good song recommendation I'd be more than happy to give it a go.
yes i do for this particular emotion you’re in
Deep breathing exercises. Slowly Inhale through your nose as deep a breath you can. Hold for at least 7 seconds. Then slowly exhale through pursed lips. Repeat as many times needed 💜
Thanks! 💜 I guess with age the list of exercises is growing. When you're super young the only exercises you care are the ones for looking 🔥... as time goes by you add physiotherapy, breathing exercises etc. 😅
Yw! Yes with age we must invest more time/energy into maintaining our health. But never forget we’re still like fine wine! 💜
A cold shower honestly would do it
It shall be done after a good workout.
[/play eye of the tiger song] 🔥
Origami not even joking
This is interesting! Will need to work my way up from the basic paper ✈️.
It can be pretty relaxing as to why its helps with frustration its because it requires your focus trying to get the folds straight and you get a good brain chemical having made something.
Mostly distraction but cant hurt to give it a try right lol
Recognising the brain's tendency to replay and dwell on those states of mind is a first step. Make the rest of the day a not tough one. Light heart and light mind.
Sometimes I sleep away the bad feeling and after a nice little nap the energy is up again. But also taking a long walk in nature -no matter what weather helps. After that a good Vino and doing something creative ( maybe for #Artstr :), diving into another world, is what helps me a lot. 🫂
Listen to my “Obnoxiously Happy Playlist” - full of songs I should honestly be ashamed to listen to
Go for a walk with the wife and kid
Or a bit of escapism in a book or movie!
Thanks! I think I should show your note to le bf maybe it will give him some ideas. *wink* *wink*
If possible, take a short walk/hike at a park so you're surrounded by nature. It can help clear the mind.
Thanks! I just came back from a walk and it was wonderful. I get caught up in meaningless things and tend to forget to enjoy the beauty that surrounds me. ✨️
Thank you #nostriches 💜
Took your advices and managed to turn around a frown day into a fun day.
✔️ took a walk in the park
✔️ enjoyed a cold 🍓 lemonade
✔️ watched the beautiful 🌅
✔️ made the weirdest and most awesome origami out of a napkin
✔️ created this small collage to serve as memory
The only thing left is to take a cold shower, listen to some 🎶 and I'm off to bed.
Wishing you all a gn. 🪷
Was glad to see you turned your day around. I get in my own heads sometimes. Some things that help me are a great workout, music, or a conversation with a close friend. New one might be talking to the Nostr family! I have noticed a lot more positivity on here compared to other socials. I'm enjoying it.
