Nope. I need work to stop pissing me off. :silly: </p> <p>I think wine is in order tonight. A big, big glass. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-get-out-of-a-funk#post-2299609 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 15:05:46 +0000 MoonMoon 2299609@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Coffee and or ice cream, consumed right before or during a hot bubble bath with essential oils! Plus texting friends to commiserate. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-get-out-of-a-funk#post-2299582 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 14:49:38 +0000 Rockies11 2299582@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just phone it in until the feeling passes, and am gentle to myself for needing to do it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-get-out-of-a-funk#post-2299553 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 14:33:28 +0000 Greentea 2299553@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you need more rest? </p> <p>Also, a walk outside in nature helps me immensely!</p> <p>Also, not to sound annoying, but making a list, even mental of things I am grateful for helps. </p> <p>It depends what kind of funk! Sometimes it is just a break or doing something new or eating ice cream or having one of my favorite beers. In general I have to sleep, get out of the house, eat pretty healthy, get outside exercise etc, time to recharge if I need it.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-get-out-of-a-funk#post-2299547 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 14:31:08 +0000 Synchronicity 2299547@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wine, salty food and a good book or show that I can enjoy alone. I find the alone time is what's really important; sometimes I just need a couple of hours to recharge. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-get-out-of-a-funk#post-2299528 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 14:19:18 +0000 wrkbrk 2299528@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A walk to Starbucks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-get-out-of-a-funk#post-2299505 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 14:11:29 +0000 MrsKoala 2299505@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Alone time with a good book, movie, etc. I like to treat myself to something that I wouldn't usually let myself do as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-get-out-of-a-funk#post-2299503 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 14:10:51 +0000 mamabolt 2299503@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A day or even half day off while LO is in daycare, where I take care of some stuff around the house that is bugging me (my bad moods often are from having too much stuff I want to do but don't have time to) and take some time to watch bad TV or read a book as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-get-out-of-a-funk#post-2299498 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 14:08:42 +0000 Truth Bombs 2299498@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wine + good book + bubble bath + 30 min break from all parenting duties while my husband takes over = my reset button </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-get-out-of-a-funk#post-2299497 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 14:08:37 +0000 sorrycharlie 2299497@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been really irritable (ok, angry) lately. I need some time alone to just do whatever I want - not food shop. I have markers on the way, hoping coloring at night will help zen me out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-get-out-of-a-funk#post-2299493 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 14:07:09 +0000 lamariniere 2299493@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I let myself be whiney for a little while. Then I have a few glasses of wine and read a book. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-get-out-of-a-funk#post-2299490 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 14:06:35 +0000 nana87 2299490@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>sometimes a little dance break really helps! or a nap. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-get-out-of-a-funk#post-2299484 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 14:05:02 +0000 .twist. 2299484@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I take some time for myself. I get my hair done or nails done or do something that makes me happy. Recharge a little. </p> <p>I also do a lot of pep talk inner dialogue-ing. "Twist, you need to act like a grown up and get back on track!". Type stuff. Super cheesy but I find it can be really effective. </p> <p>Sometimes I make a small, simple check list and do all the things so that I feel like I've accomplished something, which then, usually, motivates me to accomplish a bigger, harder task. </p> <p>Feel better! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-get-out-of-a-funk#post-2299480 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 14:04:19 +0000 LuLu Mom 2299480@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A hot bubble bath where I can soak for 20-30 minutes does wonders for my soul! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-get-out-of-a-funk#post-2299479 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 14:04:17 +0000 jape14 2299479@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Drive through for a chick-fil-a ice cream cone on my way home from work. Or wine + Bravo after DS is in bed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-get-out-of-a-funk#post-2299474 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 14:03:12 +0000 ShootingStar 2299474@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Chocolate and binge tv. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-get-out-of-a-funk#post-2299466 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 14:00:45 +0000 mediagirl 2299466@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When you're just annoyed at the world and don't feel like working or parenting or anything in general, how do you pull yourself out of your funk? </p>
