I am not sure if it is my hormones, my season of life, or just plain Satan; but lately I have been overtaken by "THE BLAHS" way to often.
"The Blahs" is when you feel down, but don't have a super great reason to feel down except just the drudgery of daily life.
You can make a choice. Usually, "The Blahs"
1. ) Get worse if you sit around and mope or worry about your sad feelings or whatever you think is making you feel sad - like all that you have to get done but will "never" be able to accomplish, or
2.) Can easily be solved by taking simply positive actions such as:
a. Doing something you enjoy - for example: playing with your children.
b. Making a to-do list and doing a few things on your list.
c. Talking to someone about your feelings.
d. Thinking positive.
e. Expressing gratitude.
f. Praying.
"Rejoice in the Lord always... Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things... Practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you."
- Phillipians 4: 4-9
