The eclipse or just my dark thoughts?!

Hi Steemers,

I hope you are all feeling well. If not so well, then maybe you are experiencing the same as I am.

Thinking whether I have been hit by the sun like in A. Camus' book "The Stranger" (scary), I have been feeling all this energy that they say the eclipse spreads on all of us or I am simply having a big load of things to do before I can really enjoy some nice relaxing September days :D.

Whatever the answer, I just wanted to share with you that it has been a particularly not easy couple of days. I have caught myself feeling a bit anxious, with a million things to do but with no real progress except being a champion in procrastination.

So, to stop feeling bad about myself and give an end to this "poor me" tricky game, I decided to implement my forever plan B which, strangely, taking into consideration how simple it is, always works for me.

...and it goes like this:

1. First things first, I eat yogurt + as many fruits as possible and drink a lot of water;
2. Do the laundry; even if I don't have much to do, I just feel this need to clean my environment (which, to be honest, has a major impact on all of us);
3. Make a to do list of all things I would like to finish in the day and/or the day after;
4. Meet a good friend (always helpful..);
5. Take a walk in the park (now, this one I didn't do today, but plan to do tomorrow).

The end result is pretty refreshing I must say. Going through the above very very simple steps totally shifts my mood.
At the end of the day, all we ever needed has been "sunshine, freedom and a little flower", but from the ones coming from within our souls...

Feeling better, being lucky enough to feel that satisfaction of how wonderfully we are able to better our mood, has to be one of the most treasured moments of life :-).

Sending love to all you Steemers!

Bye for the moment,
