ennui go ennui go

I think the past months has seen a real ennui come over me. Nothing seemed to be going right and I just felt uninspired.

It's changing for me now, but it's amazing what a little perspective can do for you. Even though I do have an internal locus of control, things just seemed to spiral downwards. I'm starting to feel the sunshine on my skin and that lightness in my step that I've been missing. How to shrug the gloomies:

- Dance to the Wiggles' "Dance your gloomies away" (yes, it is a real song)
- You can lie there and beat yourself up over things, but the sooner you get to acceptance the sooner you can move on
- If you can't change anything, change everything and everything changes
- Back to basics, prioritise - What keeps you up at night? What gets you out of bed the next morning?
- Close your eyes and smile. The simple act does two things, calms you down and the smiling releases endorphines.

I think I need a new morning song.
