Ecotherapy can make a significant difference to how you feel. It can reduce depression, reduce anger, reduce feelings of anxiety and stress, improve your mood and self-esteem, and increase your emotional resilience.
It’s hard to offer compassion when you assume you have the other person figured out. Instead, let them know they are not alone. People overcome the forces of negative emotions like anger and hatred when the counter-forces of love and support are present.
If you can’t all agree on where to go on holiday, you can compromise by agreeing to take turns choosing the next destinations, by finding one that everyone would like even if it is not on the top of their list, or by picking a destination out of a hat of everyone’s suggestions.
Do a quick online search of approximate costs to travel to each holiday destination, keeping in mind expenses to travel, stay, eat, and play. You might take more time after choosing a holiday destination to find great deals on travel and hotel arrangements.
We are allowed to feel whatever we need to feel. If we lose someone, we’re allowed to hurt. If we hurt someone, we’re allowed to feel guilty. If we make a mistake, we’re allowed to feel regretful.
Even if you reframe a situation to see things differently, there will be times when you still feel something that seems negative. While not every situation requires panic, sometimes our feelings are appropriate for the events going on in our lives.
When we tell ourselves that things must be a certain way or that we must achieve certain things, we put ourselves under a huge amount of pressure. Learning to be flexible instead doesn’t mean you have to ignore your values or preferences.
Washing and ironing your clothes and bedding inside-out will reduce damage to the print and make it easier to get smarter creases. Ensure all the arms and corners are pulled out to make drying more complete.
Don’t confuse peoples’ posts on social media as being a true and complete reflection of that person’s life. In reality it is probably them portraying themselves at their very very best.
Next time you start comparing yourself to a photo of someone on holiday in a bikini with a cocktail, looking stunning, whilst you’re in your pyjamas after a long day, remember that this is not a fair comparison. Everyone has pyjamas and everyone gets tired and has bad days.
