When You Need a Change of Pace

What I Did to Create a Change

I am not too proud to admit that I get a case of the blues every now and then. One time in particular, I was down in the dumps for about four months and I was feeling like nothing could go right in my life. Now, what I am going to write about is definitely not a substitute for professional help or medication when it comes to clinically diagnosed depression. What I did to snap myself out of my rut worked for me but it might not work for everyone. Basically, what I am saying is that I am not trying to give advice on how to deal with negative feelings, I am just retelling the story of some changes I made that helped me out. 

My First Step

This may sound silly to a lot of people, but I started making my bed after I woke up every morning. I know it is just a seemingly inconsequential thing, but what it did for me was give me a sense of accomplishment first thing in the morning. Before, my habit had been to sleep in and take every minute I could to just lay in bed. I would make my bed right before going to sleep and this change was the first change in a domino effect that helped me get to a better state of mind. 

My Second Step 

I redid my bedroom. Without getting into anything specific, I was used to the way that my bedroom looked and felt. It reminded me of things that were best not to remember. I moved my bed and other furniture in my room out and laid down some old sheets. I painted the walls a totally different color that I personally picked out. After the new shade was dry, the furniture came back in but I placed them in different places. At first, everything felt slightly odd. However, after about four or five days, I began to sleep like I had just bought a new mattress. 

I could write that there was a step for each room that I remodeled in my home, but I am sure you get the drift of what I did. I was amazed at how much better the days felt. Don't get me wrong, I still was reminded from time to time about what had gotten me into the state of mind from which I had worked to escape. Most people are creatures of habit, so we take the same pathway through our house, sleep in the same spot, and sit in the same position on the sofa. I had to do things differently than I had been doing for years. It all started by making my bed.
