If it feels bad, stop doing it.
*Classic “morning after a rough night” pep talk*
Je deteste le matin. If you’re blue this morning, if you’re feeling guilty, remorseful, or full of self-loathing, my best advice is don’t do anything drastic while bummed. Don’t chop your hair off or text old lovers; definitely don’t ingest any depressant (I’m lookin at you, booze). Please, try to stop beating yourself up. When the worst of the funk passes, then you can make carefully weighed decisions regarding actions, attitudes, friends, dates, beverages, drugs, places, behaviors, or whatever has you down. Talk to someone who has your best interest at heart; wake them up if you have to. Know that you can change your behavior, change your thinking, and ultimately change your life. Make a sensible change because there is no reason to be unhappy for a minute longer.
Today remind yourself: If it feels bad, stop doing it.
