When life seems dark and dreary, don't forget to pray. And also...
WAIT A DAY. Seriously. If things don't get better (or at least there aren't some better moments) within the next 24 hours, give it another day. And if at the end of a week you looking back wondering what the heck was wrong with you, then maybe it's time to start worrying.
But if there are even a few small moments of goodness- cling to that. Focus on that. And remember that those are the moments that make life worth living.
I have such a tendency to freak out too easily, too quickly, and to not let all the pieces fall into place. Some days are just rotten. Sometimes people bug you. Sometimes there's too/not enough much to do. Sometimes you wake up on the wrong side of the bed, and just can't ever escape the funk. The point is to not make any drastic decisions or let any potentially life-altering thought processes run too far until you've had at least one good night's rest, three good meals, one good workout, and some prayer and scripture study. It's amazing how much one good, well-balanced day can change everything.
