SNAP OUT OF A FUNK

photo credit: Pinterest

Today’s post is brought to you by a recent funk that I had been in, and I was desperate to snap out of it ASAP. I’m sure you’ve had days like this, yeah? Sometimes it happens for what seems like no reason.

I want to share all of the things that I do to snap out of it quickly. Before I get into it, I’m not implying that I am a professional when it comes to therapy or counseling. I don’t have it all together, but these are methods that really help.

♡ Journal

Writing your feelings down can help you process what’s really going on. I love The Morning Pages as it allows for your stream of consciousness to flood out onto the pages. Being completely honest while you write is a must so go ahead and purge your feelings, even if they surprise you or seem trivial. By the end of a good writing session, I usually discover what it is that is bothering me and then I list out solutions. List out your action items. Trust me when I say that this will energize you and comfort you.

♡ Treat yourself

To get very specific, try treating yourself to something that you normally would not do on this particular day or particular time. We all get so used to the same routine each day. When I’m in a funk, I go out of my way to do something fabulous and different. For example, say it’s a Tuesday night, and you’d normally be eating dinner at home with no other plans. Instead, go out to your favorite restaurant and order your favorite cocktail or dinner. It’s unexpected and feels so fun to indulge, even in a small way.

♡ Exercise

Sometimes a funk can be induced by not taking care of yourself. A shitty diet, no exercise, and little sleep can totally do it. Forcing yourself to go and release some endorphins by exercising helps to snap you right out of it. They do say that exercise can be just as effective as anti-depressants! My favorite exercise to do when I am in a funk is yoga. The clarity gained from doing yoga is just amazing.

How do you snap out of a funk? Please share!

a few ways that getting dressed/fashion is spiritu a few ways that getting dressed/fashion is spiritual:

1. experimenting with what you wear can help you see yourself in a different way & provokes inspiration.
2. Getting dressed in the morning is a way to have fun by expressing your beautiful soul for everyone to see. 
3. when you feel confident in what you’re wearing, you FEEL good.

my style evolution: I used to wear a lot of black & shunned expressing my femininity with the clothes that I wore because I was following trends. NO MORE. now: give me all the feminine LEWKS and colors 🌈

During the first few months of my Z’s life, my body & soul felt burnt out. looking back, it was hard (and still is!) to prioritize just taking a few deep breaths each day. totally not trying to sound dramatic like so many Oprah IG captions 🤣 but it’s the truth.

during a meditation session recently, my intuition called out and invited me to reconnect with my feminine side. I realized I had abandoned much of this ‘side’. this is where the journey of activating my divine feminine energy began for me.  I’ll be sharing bits of my re-discovery here in hopes it will help you overcome the same and step in to your wholeness. 🤍

by wholeness, I mean not DOING IT ALL. being intentional & redefining the feminine experience. 

some of the words I have reclaimed include…

emotional, ease, wild, & healing 

do you have words to describe your feminine energy?

reflecting back on the past year has put into perspective how critical taking the leap and moving to a new place has been for my personal growth and development, and if you’re thinking about moving, this is your sign to do it!

the change of environment has been SO beyond magical for many reasons…it’s taken me out of my comfort zone, given so many new and exciting experiences, and expanded social connections.

Even with other clean products, my scalp was not happy and it’s such a relief to find a product that WORKS that isn’t medicated or full of crap ingredients. so excited to share with y’all as I have always shared my scalp/hair journey and finally feel like my scalp is THRIVING 💖

this look is one of my faves as it doesn’t take much time and it shows off my natural hair texture.
