Today was a bad day. All I did was sleep! Usually I enjoy sleeping a lot, but not the way it was today. I wasn't feeling well, and was struck by fatigue. And I just don't like that feeling! Moreover, I had planned to study, and sleep spoiled all my plans. And when finally I picked up the books and sat for studying, I had a fight and I was super angry. My head started aching, and I just couldn't concentrate on studying despite trying hard. So, I decided to go out. Though my foot was paining, but I just couldn't stay like that. So, I got ready and went out for window-shopping, which turned into real-shopping as I liked a t-shirt and bought it. Also, I bought two greeting cards. And, all of it really helped to chill my mood. Hence proved: Shopping is really a stress buster!
1. Naps: I had been in sleep debt for such a long time now, and over this weekend I slept well and a lot, and I feel like I have some energy back. 2. Alone time: My roommate was busy this weekend, and I was all alone- just doing my sleeping, laundry, reading. Like I have said before , it is a recharge for me to spend some time with just myself without the need to talk or be there for others. 3. Work: Past few months were a long, painful wait to get work. I used to hate those days when I was just waiting and it made me feel so worthless. But finally, I have got it! Bonus point: the perfect location- it's a five minute walk to a beautiful park facing a lake. I have been going there every day during lunch. 4. Fights: Normally, fights aren't something people are thankful for. But sometimes they show you how people care for you or how much you mean to them, so yeah today I am thankful for few. 5. A good news: My childhood friend got engaged! Yay!...
I guess that's why they call it retail therapy! I wish that I could alleviate some stress by going and spending some money, but I would just feel too guilty. Perhaps one day I will make up for it by going on a large shopping spree.... maybe.... one day.
ReplyDeleteExactly how I was feeling today, except the shopping didn't exactly help. I hate sleeping in the day too because when I wake up I have a really hot mouth and feel more tired than before.
ReplyDeleteI agree completely. They say that its not actually what you buy, but the process of searching that takes your mind off problems and stress.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely true!! The ultimate stress buster!!
ReplyDeleteAgreed, shopping or a facial can really cure anything for me! xoxo
