Having More Fun Is Absolutely Good For You "Even though you're growing up, you should never stop having fun."Nina Dobrev Do you often find yourself so stressed and overwhelmed that you stop doing things that you enjoy?

You just feel blah. Today’s Treasure is Getting Out of That Funk. Let’s face it we all have bad days, feel depressed and just stuck, it’s a part of life.

Ever since I have been living my life paying attention to what I’m feeling, I notice sooner, and I start doing small things to feel better. Like, I will tidy up the apartment with fun music playing in the background, or I will literally shift my environment to start feeling differently. Or pick up a good book, or play funny videos on youtube, something different that will pull me out of my current state of mind. How...
