BLAH

By: Erin 

Don’t you hate that feeling?

You know the one…

I can’t really describe it fully

But it overwhelms my brain and body…

I’m talking about “Blah”

It comes on days when you need to get a lot done

And you usually end up accomplishing close to none….

You are experiencing a day of “Blah”

Everything has a tint of grey it seems

It could be nice outside but you feel dreary

You roll your eyes at others who are cheery

You are experiencing a day of “Blah”

We all have these days now and again

But it still sucks when “blah days” show up when

You have places to go and things to do

There really is no time for feeling blue

So here is my remedy – something I’m working on doing

Spending time on myself, caring and renewing

For me this is a hot bath, candles and good songs too

Sometimes an art project with lots of glue!

For others they like a nice bowl of soup or their favorite ice cream

Some people I know just take a nice nap and float away in a dream

I know others that work out to let off some anxiety

Quite honestly with self-care there is a lot of variety

Healthy coping for the days we don’t feel our best

Will keep us from becoming incredibly-too-much-scarily stressed

So the next time you have a “blah” day or few

Take a break to do something healthy for you

This break is important, crucial and essential to life

For it will save you from some mental anguish and strife
