Welcome to Litsy!

1. Coloring
2. Listening to music after showering
3. Reading
4. Journaling. One night, I had a bad dream that had my ex bf in it. It scared me because he scares me so I journaled about it. Recently, I was asleep and a thought came to my mind that I‘d be hearing from my ex bf online soon so I journaled about this too. I have severe anxiety. Nothing has happened yet so maybe it was just my anxiety talking to me.

Everyday after dinner I study Spanish on Duolingo (451-day streak) for about 30 minutes, then I color while I listen to my audiobook (current audiobook is tagged). Then I‘ll switch to my ebook or my IRL book in bed before I go to sleep. I find having this routine helps me relax.

I like to sit in my sunroom and snuggle with my dog, be with the plants, drink tea, and listen to Yo-yo Ma.

I also do Sudoku, scroll on Litsy, and gab with a friend on the phone. I also like to watch British murder mysteries and Masterpiece Theater with my PBS subscription.

And then, sometimes, I have to get frustration and anxiety out by listening to death metal. If all else fails.

1. Read, of course!
2. Listen to rain or listen to silence. I prefer real rain, but I'll create my own mix on asoftmurmur.com.
3. Do word puzzles, especially crosswords.
4. Deep breathes: inhale for 4, hold for 5-7, exhale for as long as I can.
5. AVOID THE NEWS. If I can.

All are welcome to share! 🩵💙🩵

#MentalHealthMonday @Kerrbearlib

Relaxing for me, usually involves water somehow. Whether it‘s hydrating, taking a bath, skin care, crying, walking by a river or lake, swimming or floating in a pool, beach day even in winter or listening to the sound of waves. 🌊

I like to relax and chill with a book and a meal in a busy (but not too busy) restaurant or brewpub. I like the feeling of being by myself and at the same time amidst a group of people who are doing their own thing.

I also like to chill with my cat, though he doesn‘t always appreciate it! I like to relax and chill by taking drives in the countryside. But not in traffic!

I have a busy day tomorrow, so I‘m posting the #MentalHealthMonday prompt a day early. Feel free to respond whenever - mental health is important every day, not just Monday!

My favorite ways to relax and unwind - go for walks, listen to music, snuggle with my cats, spending time in the garden, reading, writing, etc.

Clouds, mountains, sunrises & sunsets always bring me joy.

Today was definitely a Monday & I‘m headed off to bed to start the whole day over tomorrow.
