Everyone feels down at some point in their lives. Whether it is a lost opportunity, a failure of some kind, heartbreak, weather, medication, illness, or for no real reason at all, feeling down is simply a part of life.
It can come on suddenly with no warning, or it can arise because of a specific situation or circumstance. No matter what the reason, sometimes we just need to feel down and allow ourselves time to feel sad - even if there is no good reason for it. Feeling sad can actually be cathartic. If we bottle everything up then we risk that feeling bubbling to the surface at an inopportune moment. If we take the time - at the time - to feel exactly the way we are feeling without scrutinizing those feelings, we are much more inclined to 'get over it' more quickly.
The Lighter Side of feeling down is one of the most uplifting moments in someone's life: cuddles from pets, spouses, hugs from friends, or indulging in comfort food or beloved activities.
Our two dogs always know when I am feeling down. They are more chill, they cling to me, and all they want to do is cuddle all day.
I'm definitely not mad about it.
Puppy cuddles always make me feel just a little bit better. It is amazing how intuitive our pets can become.
Couple that with some hugs from my hubby, some comfort food, a fun tv show and then a good book, and you have this nice and uplifting day. A day that began sad suddenly becomes a day of gratefulness.
