Funk

And I don’t mean the 70’s funky style or the “up town” funk. I’m talking about those days when there seems to be the cloud around you of yuck. Pending doom may be too strong a word, but I’m sure anyone can relate to a day when you just feel, down, sad, depressed, tired (emotionally and physically) negative, melancholy and I’m sure you could fill in the blank with your own descriptors for a day like this.

Many times, there are very real things going on in our lives that seem to be mounting around our ears on these days. On other occasions there are only small things that seem huge because of the day. Occasionally those small things are things we know we shouldn’t be stressing about but somehow, we still are.

If these days are only once in a while, watch a movie, have some popcorn, snuggle with your ‘other’ or read a book alone. Do something comfy, have a little quiet meditation then go to bed ready to start a new day tomorrow.

When these days add up and you have several in a row like this, perhaps you should seek help. Talking to a friend is a good start. Perhaps a clergyman or a counselor. Don’t let these days accumulate around you until you feel overwhelmed and underwater. Don’t let pride get in the way, you are not alone, you would be surprised how many people have the same issues. The smart ones talk to someone that cares.
