8 Things you can do when you are feeling sad.
Hi friends it’s me Jarvais Po. If you’re like me you may have moments when you feel sad. When I was getting bullied it made me really sad and unmotivated. It was hard for me to even go out and play with my friends Brea Brocolli and Alvin Avocado. I tried to talk to my parents a little bit but I don’t think they knew how sad I was. I’m fine now and doing way better but I wanted to share some tips on what to do when you are feeling sad. Luckily, our good friend Gbubemi Uwaifo (pronounced boo-be’-me Ooh-y-foe) is a licensed therapist and wellness expert at Affirm Wellness . She helps people live their best and healthiest life. Gbubemi stopped by Harvest Farm and taught us what we can all do when we are sad. Check it out below.
8 Things you can do when you are feeling sad.
- Allow yourself to get out of the DARKNESS: Talk to someone you trust and feel safe with. Keeping your sadness a secret can make you feel worse. Talk your way into the light.
- REMEMBER the great things about yourself: Say three things you love about yourself everyday after brushing your teeth while looking in the mirror.
- READ or watch something that makes you laugh or smile to cheer you up.
- Find your Rhythm: Dance to your favorite song or make up a song in your mind to dance to wiggle and giggle the sadness away.
- Find your GLOW again: Stretch your hands up towards the sky, stretch your hands down toward the ground, stretch your hands in front of you, and lastly, stretch your hands to the side.
- Be CREATIVE: Draw or write out how you are feeling or something that makes you smile.
- Remember your WORTH: Remember that there is only one you. You are a special part of this world. There is a unique gift inside of you that only you can share with the world to make it better.
- Take some MINDFUL Breathes: Breathe in through your nose and think happiness and breathe out through your mouth like you are blowing out a birthday candle and think sadness.
