I’m feeling blah.
So blah that I can’t muster the mental gumption to even think about doing something about it…never mind actually DOING something about it.
I’ve been too blah to de-blah myself. I’m so apathetic, it’s pathetic.
I don’t know what happened. I was feeling the love spirit last week.
Then suddenly….Blah.
Enough of that. Enough introspection.
Time to look beyond the tip of my nose and get up out my head.
(Oh yes I did just publish that picture on the internet.)
I need my whimsy back. With a quickness.
So I’m gonna think in terms of thinks that make me happy:
And I’m gonna breathe, BE in each moment and get back in the PRESENT.
And stop blah-gging about me, me, me.
(But only for now.)
oh, and for CERTAIN a pickle and peabee delight is in my near future.
Meanwhile, forgive me for this blah post – I’m just trying to figure out what’s what.
- How do you banish your blahs? (Not that you amazing, vibrant few who read this would ever be blah – pshaw. But if you ever were…)
Wait — mushroom clouds make you happy?
I try to read or write to de-blah myself. Sometimes an art project helps, too. Nothing like a finished canvas to give myself some sort of feeling of accomplishment and feel slightly less like a loser who is wasting her life in treatment. :-p
Get rid of those blahs, girl — you’re too gorgeous and full of life to be dragged down by them!
That’s a normal cloud you spunk!

For me, the remedy for getting out of a blah: My two (2&4) year old nieces. They’re more than hands full but also my absolute angels. The way they yell my name (Or, their version of it.. ‘Howeeey!!’) the second I walk in the door and the hugs and kisses that follow, combined with their neverending, nonunderstandable wordvomit… Instant smile on my face
And havent you got serious sunshine on your side of the planet? Let it warm and brighten your day in all the ways in can
You are right….I usually have NO complaints this time of year because I live in a Paradise….you got me thinking though because the past three days have been very dark, gloomy and rainy and after a while I guess it gets to you.
I love my neices and nephews too…my whole fam is going away this weekend and I’m not going to be able to go…maybe that is making me blah?
PS- Love that picture! Imma Pin it.
PPS- Is your name Zoe?
PPPS- How come I can never find your blog …your gravatar indicates you have one but I can’t find it!
PPPPS- You are not obligated to answer any of those questions. LOL.
Isn’t it strange how certain things can influence our gloominess without us realizing it?! The weather, familyplans, etc. Now you realize what it is that is causing blahness, you’ll be able to adjust to it better and maybe even swing it around. Make yourself a pinapple shake, put on your hula-skirt (I know you’ve got one!!) and just pretend your back in Paradise again. (No snakes though, no snakes… iehh). Oh, and text the fam, just to say hi. They’ll probably send you some lovin’ back.
And yeah, Im Zoe, or, Sooz. My Zoe-name is not pronounced the American way, but the Greek way, and therefor I tend to stick to Sooz internationally because apparently Zo=ay is impossible to pronounce? And I do have a blot, but Im not really a blogger, you know? Thta Gravatar thing… Gosh, I’m such a computer-nono, I havent got the slightest idea how this all works. But the blog is mundanebrain.wordpress.com. And I dont mind answering buttloads of questions at all! (Oops, I just said butt on your blog)
Butt gets the green light and besides, people can pretty much say whatever they want in the comments of my blog!
I’m sorry you are feeling blah-ish. I usually like to write in my journal, read my Bible, pray, and spend time with loved ones. If that doesn’t do the trick try chick flicks and soup
The outdoors always lift me up and get rid of the blah’s. So does mixing good music. Take myself on a journey elsewhere through the sounds of goodness.
And chatting with certain peeps definitely help me sway the blah’s to elsewhere. Thanks much!
(Watch you some Glozell – she can be very helpful. Just sayin’, k?!)
I have been thinking about that all day…but after work lately the internet is the last thing I want to touch.
I get ya on this. However; sometimes you gots to watch the funny even if just for a 5 minute parcel of time. It might very well give you a lasting smile.
Awwh so sorry you have the blahs Miss M. Hope they go away as quickly as they came.
I have a really great system for getting out of the funk! It involves burying myself in a blanket on the couch with as many animals as I can harness (I aim for two of four, but sometimes get lucky). Then I watch Charlie Brown. It is a fool proof method! And even better with Christmas lights on.
Plan B involves watching videos and looking at pictures of my nephew.
xo Erin
I like those plans!
Music helps me with the Blahs. Sometimes I may have to force myself to dance. I love yoga. Time with friends helps too. And being attacked with kisses and love bites from my dog who is 77% of my size. (Yes, I’m lame/obsessive enough to calculate that statistic.)
That is a GRAND idea — force yourself out of the blah-s.
i think we can all relate. During this time of vulnerability, the enemy likes to lurk. Be strong and know God is near. I have to remind myself that. CLINGING TIGHT! love your head, blah blah blah!
Oh this is a difficult one!
Well firstly, I might pray! Phone a friend and share my woes! Watch a nice girly film, read a great book, do some dancing and/or tidy up! My house is a tip- it’s a great distraction tactic (for the blues, anger, boredness, sadness, avoiding work!)
Hope you feel less blahry and more like the rainbow paint (NICE!) soon! x
Sometimes I am so “blah” I can’t do any of that.
It’s (except read .. I can always read) and my prayers (though they are usually just me “knowing” that God “knows” are very indicative of my blah state.)
PS- You sound like the most emotionally stable person I know!
Aww. Those are such colourful pictures! And that pickle with peanut butter looks actually delicious
Hope you feel better soon. Sometimes when I’m blah, I stick my head out the window and just breathe in fresh air. Especially if it’s a frosty morning or a starry evening.
xoxo
I collect the pictures on my Pinterest account.
Gosh….it has been so (too) long since I have seen a nice full sky of stars. I’m a suburban gril so the lights drown them out.
I take the poodle for a walk in the woods when in blah! He is such a goon that it never ever ever ceases to make me laugh
The word “goon’ makes me laugh.
Goon.
Life has it’s ups and downs, doesn’t it? I mean they always tell you that but you don’t really believe them until you’re an adult.
I’m a total introvert so when I’m feeling “funky” I like to turn inward for the day. Meditate, journal, watch a movie and drink tea, whatever. I usually like to be by myself – it helps me figure out what is wrong and how to make it better the next day.
Best of luck!
I’m an ambivert, honest!
I have to have both me time and not me time…
This case of the “blahs” seems to be about too much me time, but usually I like you need to go and turn inward when I get funky so I can defunktify myself.
christmas cheer is hereby bestowed unto you from my smooshie mouthed puggle! (and from moi).
how do i banish the blues? not even yoga works for me! because of the heat which yoga generates, i get claustrophobic.
so, i meditate in the forest with gwendolyn via long long long walks, like 2 or 3 hours. she is most happy in the forest. and somewhere around 63 minutes of walking and breathing, my head snaps into the happy game again. it’s like night and day at that 62 to 63 minute mark. pure euphoria.
do you walk with zoe? if so, please leash her up and get to the forest! now!
x
sigh. feeling the blah’s here too. I read all your comments hoping to help me out too but I just don’t have the energy to dance or do yoga
I’m not an animal lover so dog kisses are totally out! My brain won’t concentrate on long reading much right now. Hmmmm, let me know what you figure out.
And I totally agree, the word “goon” did totally make me laugh too!
try a massage! that always does the trick for me. rests my mind, etc.
xo.
Massages are the one thing I miss about having a boyfriend
I promise I’m *not* saying this as an attack, but…eating disorders (as manifested in low body weight and/or malnutrition) almost always (if not always) result in altered brain chemistry. So, even though you might feel as though you are in control of your brain and your thoughts, you may not be. This bleh and general apathy might be a result of that. Give yourself and your family the best Christmas present of them all – a healthy life and a bright future. It’s hard, but it will be worth it. I’m praying for you!
I’ve actually been thinking the same thing — my nutrition are weight are fledging and my brain is ..blah. Thanks!
Maybe you need a puppy:) I feel blah too and my new psychiatrist said being proactive in doing things different can help. Even if you feel the same just attempting to change can lift your spirits. Can you make some goals?
As for the boyfriend when I was in recovery I was told first you get a plant,then an animal,then you are ready for a man. The reason is if you are not in a healthy place you can’t get into a healthy relationship. I thought that was funny line up though.
I hope you feel better and enter recovery. I enjoy your blog but my heart breaks for you. You seem really talented but ned to get healthy so you can do something with it.
I have a dog, actually and I have been trying to switch stuff up.
Funny thing is, I am just too blah to eally be invested in anything right now.
Fellow blah-er here! I like to put on justin bieber and dance around the house. Get out of the house. Go to the coffee shop or barns and noble and read. And i love to swing! So calming.
I love to swing too…but no Beiber. For the love of all things good (lol).
