Over the years I feel like I have better pinpointed things that work for me when I feel sad. I used to just obsess over the thing that was making me upset, and then got more upset about how I allowed it to steal my time away. I feel like regardless, sadness is a feeling we have to accept, and in fact it's good to just let yourself feel sad about something, cry it out, and sit with your emotions. I do think that there IS a point eventually where we will have to get back up and move on, so here are some things I do to allow myself to gradually transition back to not necessarily happy, but content. Sometimes I want to do things that will totally shift my mindset, other times I like using my sadness as a way to connect with others or a way to analyze my emotions and reactions to things. Curious to know what you all do when you're feeling upset too, so please share!
