And, of course, you could go try talking to someone and getting help. I mean… sometimes it's not a "snap out of it" situation.

So? Even if the counters are working again, not everyone has an idea of how to "get out of a funk" since we're not a bunch of licensed therapists or the like. It says nothing about you or your problems, so stop reading into this kind of thing and letting it somehow bother you.




sometimes I find it's my environment that's the issue. a messy house leaves me vaguely anxious, for instance. So working toward figuring out what's actually bothering me and working toward solving it does a lot. When I just feel blah I go outside. I look and listen. I treat everything as new and interesting and hey, look at that, it becomes so… because I'm not just pretending to see, but really seeing. The normal experiencing we do is far too colored by our baggage and complete lack of real attention to be special. Too wrapped in judgement and dismissal as ordinary.

Ants are hypnotizing to actually watch. Grass is terribly interesting to look at blade by blade. Weeds are beautifully complex and often fuzzy. Leaves and trees are extraordinary examples of fractals in nature. Birds don't often fly straight… or for very long. Pigeons act a lot like squirrels.


But, again, for all we know you might actually be having a real issue other than "the blahs."
