How to stay on a more even keel during these discombobulating times

Many of us have days where we feel centred, go about our days on an even keel and then wham oh, we suddenly spiral down and spend the rest of the day (or days) feeling flat or unhappy. It’s not a pleasant place to be in. That’s when we often over-eat, feel irritable, just want to be left alone, veg out etc etc.

Is there anything we can do about it? Yes. Though it’s not always easy to motivate ourselves to get out of that ‘stuck’ place. However, there are practices that I do when I’m feeling down or flat that help me feel better (provided I can remember to do them!). Here are a few tips.

Be gentle with yourself:
We don’t always recognise how harsh we often are with ourselves and the terrible messages we give ourselves – that we’d never say to another person. Do your best to replace those harsh thoughts with more gentle, positive ones eg I am doing better every day; I care about myself; I accept myself exactly as I am; I’m okay; I’m kind; I give myself permission to be happy.

Acknowledge your emotions:
It’s always my number one go to. Acknowledge to yourself, how you feel. Be honest with yourself eg I feel angry or irritated or frustrated or hopeless. It’s only a feeling and it can’t harm anyone else if you don’t act out on it. Many people think it’s bad to admit to themselves how they feel. No … it’s worse to ignore it, then it comes out sideways at a later stage. (Acknowledging your emotions is the first step towards mastering your emotions).

Acceptance:
Accept that this is how you feel now and it too will pass. Allow yourself to feel the energy of acceptance and flow it to yourself.

Focus on something that makes you feel good:
eg a place in nature, a pet, the sunset, someone you love unconditionally. Allow yourself to be in that feel-good energy. Practice staying in that feel good energy 5 minutes a day.

And most importantly, breathe:
Spend 5 minutes a day gently focusing on your breath, breathing in love (or peace or happiness or acceptance), breathing out fear (or anger or grief or boredom). Or you may have a breath practice from yoga that you can do.

May you all be filled with wellness, contentment and joy. Let us all do the best that we can to send out happiness, peace and kind-laugher to the world, rather than the opposite.

Namaste.
