One of those days...

Hey guys,

So, for this blog I thought that it might be time to share with you something that has been on my mind recently: those days that we all go through, when it just is not going the way we want it to; when we are upset or hurting or just need some encouragement. These are a few of the things that get me through tough moments. Hope you guys can relate to some...

1. Pray

My first go-to option is praying. There is nothing more powerful than praying to the One who knows how your day is going and what is going to happen next. Plus He is always willing to talk and to listen!

2. Write it down

I like to write down what I am stressed or upset about. One way that I like to do this is by writing letters to heaven. Sometimes praying is not so easy and so writing it down gives me time to think it through and I end up figuring everything out by the end of the letter!

3. Dance

Dancing is my favourite way to escape from my troubles. It leads me into a different world where I can forget my worries and focus on the gift that God has given me. You don't have to be a good dancer to do this. Just be you!

4. Listen to music

Music is so important to me and I love sitting down and just working things out with worship playing through my headphones. I would recommend when in bad mood or feeling down don't listen to sad songs but uplifting ones. Often I can relate to some lyrics in songs and it kind of gives me a sense that someone else is in the same spot as me!

5. Talk

This is super important and it has helped me through some really hard times. Talking to someone you trust and getting it all out can really make a difference. One example is an older girl who I can talk to at school and ask for advice. I would definitely suggest someone who is not in your group of friends because then things can start to get messy with gossiping and an older more mature person is also helpful because they have gone through the same thing as you!

I hope you guys enjoyed this blog and it may have given you a new idea. Remember we all go through hard times and they will pass. What are your tips for getting through a tough patch?

P.S. I have realised that I'm not getting to posting on Fridays as much, so I will be posting once a week sometime during the weekend! :)
