Exercise if you can. It helps the mood. Esp when you do it in the sun. It's all proven.

But sometimes, things don't go as planned. Sometimes it's difficult to get out of bed. It's difficult to breathe. Or we try, and fall flat on our faces.

And sometimes the rain just falls when all you wanted was the sun.

But it's okay. It's okay to feel crappy. It's okay to have tried and failed. It's okay sometimes even, to try and fail to get out of bed. There're things out of our control, there're things that hurt.

But don't give up trying. Because some days...

I have a Master's Degree in feeling like an imposter. No really, it's a thing I'm ...

Yeah, I'm an imposter.

Even then, it doesn't mean we can't try out new things. It'll be scary. It might reinforce the feeling of being out of our depth.

Hiding sometimes is our body's way of telling us to take a pause, or even a signal that things are too much. It's okay to hide away for a bit.

Getting out there into nature can help - but be kind to ourselves and don't force it.

Sometimes that's the only way we know some things aren't for us. If we don't try, we won't know.

And whatever you try, whether you fail or succeed, remember to eat something. Reward yourself for trying if you can.

And drink up too. Else Grumpy will grump at you.

Take a break. Have something healthy mixed with some unhealthiness (there's choc chunks in there).

Let your inner Grumpy grump all he wants but indulge a bit. Have that coffee as well.

It might be really hot today, so load up on any sun protection and keep hydrated. But if a special friend asks you to come out to touch grass, consider it.

Even if you're reluctant, you get to spend time with a friend and get some sun exposure. Touch that grass. For a minute maybe.

Cos you know. You might actually enjoy the experience.
