I’ve been thinking of doing 100 happy days too, probably on Instagram. I’m not down, but I tend to take the good things for granted.

Aw, I love your little frog! It’s the cutest little frog ever!

I have that same bad habit about staying focused on things I can’t control or can’t change. It’s a tough one to break. My two best ways of dealing with it are:

1) Playing “A my name is Alice” quietly with myself. It requires enough focus that you can’t keep fretting about the other stuff, but not so much that it stresses you out itself.

2) This is so dumb, but reading these four lines from the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam: “The moving finger writes, and having writ / Moves on, nor all your piety nor wit / Shall lure it back to cancel half a line, / Nor all your tears wash out a word of it.” I can feel my muscles relaxing as I type that. I don’t know why it makes me feel so much better but it does.

I wonder if I bought Jamie Oliver’s 15 minute meals I would actually USE it. I am so bad for that… Where are you posting 100Happydays? I was doing it on Instagram, but there are issues with commenting and I am behind.

I hope things get better for you soon!

When I was really depressed and stressed out last year, I started a journal where I wrote down 3 things I was grateful for that day, just to remind myself there were good things in my life. It helped, a little. Time and changing circumstances helped more.

Yes learning its dangerous to think everything is ok… But I know what you mean about hanging on to things that make you feel stressed. You need to be able to let them go when you exit directly stressed situation (I need to get better at doing this too).

I love your frog! I think it’s nice to use two different colours anyway, makes him pop.
