Sweet Escape

you will find a new song that you can play on repeat when you can’t sleep

new people will come into your life unexpectedly and make everything better

you will get good grades, graduate and find a job that you like

your heart will heal and you’ll slowly learn to manage the pain

1. Try to reconnect with an old friend from “way back” – even if it’s just by facebook or text.

2. Get outside and enjoy the fresh air – and notice the beauty and the freedom you sense there.

3. Read a good book – and enjoy being inspired and imaging a life in a different kind of world.

4. Get on your bike, jog, or go to the gym – as exercise is great for improving your mood.

5. Chat to the people who serve you in the store, or at the coffee shop … or anywhere you are – it can make you feel a part of that greater world out there.

6. Listen to some music that makes you feel alive, and maybe even dance, or try to sing along to it.
