things to do.

If you struggle with reverse SAD during the summer months these are some things that I do and I think it might help you too.

1. listen to upbeat music and dance around like crazy. something about dancing in front of the mirror always makes me feel great.
2. cook your favorite meals or get your favorite meals. Going out to different restaurants might be fun but bring someone you normally have a good time with.
3. practice self-care. Get your hair, nails done, and facials. Personally, if I look great I automatically feel 10 times better and I want to go out.
4. retail therapy? going shopping might help if you love shopping. Get new cute outfits and plan places you can go wearing them.
5. get a pet. Having 2 cats now is a lot of work and they are a great distraction, you can any pet you want.
6. take a walk. Now I never just take walks alone lol because I just hate walking for no reason unless someone else is there.
7. talk to kind people. notice how I say "kind" yeah avoid talking to people who make you feel bad about yourself and stay away from anyone toxic, especially during the summer!
8. get a therapist. It might help to talk about your feelings with a therapist because your friends might get tired of you talking about being sad all the time and I don't blame them that's what a therapist is for.
9. get a new hobby. It could be painting, writing, singing,  pottery, or just reading certain types of books... whatever makes you happy just do that.
10. most importantly surround yourself with loving, caring, and understanding people because you need it. 

Know that I love you and a tone of people love you too... you are gorgeous. we are in this together !!
