My meltdown.
I had a bit of a meltdown today. My day started off amazing! Then, I watched a video from an ER nurse in Detroit talk about the lack of medical supplies. It was heart wrenching to say the least.
I think it’s important to feel our feelings and let them work their way through our bodies. We certainly don’t want to live in the yuck.

Here are some of the healthy strategies I use for my “meltdown moments”:
- Breathe (I like to breathe in for 4 counts, hold for 4 and breathe out for 4.)
- Meditate (I love the Calm app but there are so many you can try.)
- Go for a walk (Fresh air and exercise. Need I say more?)
- Take pictures on my walk.
- Have a dance break (Music and dancing always soothes my soul.)
- Scream obscenities (I know, it’s not very ladylike but it sure feels good.)
- Nap (Sleep glorious sleep! We need it.)
How about you? Have you had any meltdowns in the midst of this pandemic? (Don’t worry, I won’t tell.) If so, what strategies do you use so you don’t spend too much time in the yuck?
Meltdown strategies are sexy.
