Headaches :: Tips for Relief

Barometric Pressure Headaches... Man oh man, these things are the bane of my existence during season changes. Since I've been battling them this week I figured why not do a little thinking out loud style post with some of the actions that I've learned to help relieve mine over time. Per usual Thursday fashion I'm linking up with Amanda over at Running with Spoons - hope you're having a good time in Hawaii girl!!

• Cold Compress (on back of the neck)

This is one that I feel a lot of relief from. It can be difficult to find the perfect neck/head position, but what I have found that works well is lay flat and place the ice pack on the edge of a pillow so the neck is still supported. I suggest having 2 or 3 ice packs in the freezer ready to switch out as needed. 

• Cold Compress (on the eyes)

Not one of my favorites because my eyes tend to be sensitive with headaches and I don't like the cold on them, nonetheless it works. I suggest to lay or sit, whichever is comfortable with your head supported. 

• Turn Off the Lights

Whenever a headache is flaring up for me I prefer to be in a room with dim to no lighting. I have to walk into a room where there is light I try to do it slowly giving my eyes a little more time to adjust. 

• Put Down the Electronics

Our lives are surrounded by phones, tablets, laptops, TVs and so on, yet squinting at the screens will only make a headache worse. I used to think that no matter what I was feeling if my phone went off I needed to respond and was I wrong...the only thing needed is to let it sit and keep resting. 

• Close Your Eyes

For me when I lay (or sit) with my eyes closed I am forcing myself to stray away from paying attention to any distractions around me. I am making myself take the time necessary to feel better. I also like to let me body sleep as much as it needs to fight off the pain. Also goes hand in hand with the 2 above. 

• Take a Hot Bath (with epsom salts)

Epsom salts are an amazing addition to a bath whenever your body is in need of relaxation. When I have a headache my body becomes tense and so I like to take warm baths with epsom salts for my muscles. 

• Ask/Go for a Massage

Massages are a miracle worker to relieve my headaches, however they aren't always convenient with a busy schedule. If I am not home alone I will ask for someone to give me a quick neck/shoulder rub to try to work out some of tightness. If I am home alone I will try to rub my shoulders while laying on my stomach, or rolling with a foam roller. My gym also has a couple massage chairs so if I feel good enough to drive - or have someone available to drive me - I will head there. 

• Drink LOTS of Water

Headaches can be caused by or worsen because of dehydration. I don't see an instant difference if I chug a bottle of water...it's not like poof and my headache is gone, nevertheless I make a conscious effort to up my intake and consistently drink water because I know it can help. 

• Play Quiet Relaxation Music

This one is on the list of rarities for me, although at times I will turn on some soft piano music, very quietly in the background while I am resting and I have found it to be soothing.

*Disclaimer:: I am not a trained professional, I am just sharing what has helped me personally.*

1) Do you experience barometric pressure headaches?

2) What types of things help you with your headaches?

Appreciate What You Have

Over the past few weeks a few of my friends have either had loved ones pass away and/or go through some sort of trauma, as well as yesterday was the 5 year anniversary of my grandma's passing. This all has had me thinking a lot lately about the life that we've been given and the days that we have. 

I've been putting off this post throughout the week because I wanted to gather my thoughts together before I wrote it. Well, last night it hit me that I think this one is meant to be a little different than my usual; no plan laid out in my head, just me and my fingers typing away on the computer keys.

Have you ever stopped to think what it would be like to miss out on a day of your life? I'm not saying thinking about if you were to pass away, I'm just saying miss one day in time. For example, today is the 12th - what if the next thing you were to recall was waking up on the morning of the 14th with no memories from the day in-between. I honestly have not...until recently that is. 

I at times feel like a bad day is the end of the universe. 

I at times let days pass by without making the count. 

I at times take days for-granted.

I'm human. 

But when I stop to think about what I would rather have; a bad day or a missed day, the bad day wins every time. I love life, even with the difficulties, and I can't imagine loosing out on a day of living. 

Recent events have just helped make me become more self aware of truly appreciating each day I have. I am trying to "check" myself when I start to get bogged down. I tend to hang onto things and that is when I start to go through motions in a daze. This is what I personally need to work on; letting go and brushing things off. Since I have the days, I don't want to miss out on any part of them. 

Have you thought about what it would be like to miss a day?

A Little of This. A Little of That.

A few weeks ago I was really struggling with finding happiness in my life. Why? Well, I wasn't really sure. I was feeling bogged down, run down and just like everything was a task. It's such an unsettling time when you know you aren't feeling quite yourself, but you can't exactly pinpoint why. 

In an effort to try to figure things out I began looking up different articles and quotes. Some I came across helped me to think and some didn't do a thing. I  also tried to evaluate when I thought I started to feel different and what might have been the reason for that. I am thankful to be feeling better and like myself again, but I am still trying to be conscious of my daily life and do what I can to stay that way. The other day as I was scrolling through bloglovin on lunch catching up I came across this article from Popsugar which stuck out to me. Since we all go through bouts of what I did recently I wanted to share from the article a few ideas of ways you can bring happiness into your life. 

• go for a walk

allow yourself sometime in the fresh air and clean your mind

• try something new

change up your routine a bit to not get in a rut of going through the motions 

• call a friend

talking to someone close to you can help you let out your worries, without even realizing you are

• unplug

much like going for a walk to clear you mind, unplug from technology for a little while and think

*something I'm personally not so great at doing on a regular basis*

• good ole fashioned game night

surrounding yourself with good company and fun competition can help you to laugh

• sing it out

sometimes simply letting go and singing at the top of your lungs is the perfect remedy to make you smile

*I do this a lot and know the cars next to me are like whhaa?"*

Source

• give a complement 

make someone else smile - it's contagious, you'll find yourself smiling too

• declutter

your office, your room, your car, your head - whatever at that time will help relieve unnecessary burden

• stay in the moment

just be, stop worrying about what is out of your control 

• rest up

a short break/nap can help your mind and body to reset to approach things in a different way

*I want to try this and see if by doing so I can gain new perspective by first taking a step back*

• know it's going to be ok

and that you will be ok

--

Never stop searching for happiness in your life, especially at those times when you need it the most.

My Current "Go-To" Quote

Hi everyone! I hope your week is going well. I had planned to publish a post yesterday, but this week has been a lot busier than anticipated. Nonetheless, here we are now! Today I wanted to share with you the quote that I've gone to daily, if not multiple times, for a few months to help me refocus my mindset.

The reason I love this quote is because in just a few simple words it is able to help me remember to not dwell on petty, stupid little things because my (our) time is much too precious for that. When we get stuck in a rut occupying our minds with one situation there are several others that end up passing by and or that we cannot enjoy fully. I've also realized over time that most of those things that we get wrapped up in we have no control over anyways. However, I still end up caught up time and time again. 

I've been consciously working on letting go of things that get inside my head for a while now and coming across this quote 4 months ago was exactly what I needed. I've come across other versions of this quote prior, but for some reason this is the one that finally stuck with me and it has been the background on my phone ever since. By doing that not only is it there each time I unlock my phone for a quick glance, but most importantly, it's always in my back pocket (or purse, or coat, etc.) when I need it.

Do you have a "go-to" quote?

If so, how does it help you?

Thinking Out Loud with Amanda!

Voices In Your Head

In life, it often feels as if we are fighting a battle that we cannot win. Everywhere we turn there is something or someone that makes us feel inferior or like we are not good enough. And if you try to say you've never felt that way at some point, then you are lying to yourself. Sorry to be blunt, but it's true. We all have different insecurities which overtake who we are and how we feel at times throughout our lives. Some of us are better at quieting those voices in our head, then others, however, simply quieting them is not enough. We have to truly believe in ourselves and then, only then can they be overcome. 

As I was driving in the car over this past weekend I heard the song "Try" by Colbie Caillat. I mean it wasn't the first time I have ever listened to this song, but it is the first time I have really heard it. 

I'm not sure if it was because I was in the car by myself or the fact that subconsciously I needed what the song had to offer, nevertheless, I couldn't be more thankful that the lyrics stuck out to me. 

The song lists stereotypes in today's world that make us think certain things and act various ways:

• Put your make-up on
• Get your nails done
• Curl your hair
• Run the extra mile
• Keep it slim 
• Get your sexy on
• Don't be shy, girl, take it off
• Get your shopping on
• Max your credit cards
• You don't have to choose, buy it all

When I looked up the lyrics later on and saw these all written out it hit me how many things we think we have to do to make us appear more beautiful or how we feel we have to act to keep up or what we do to try to fit in. Some of these things listed, we do because we personally enjoy them, but with others comes the feeling of pressure to be liked. I myself get my nails done because I enjoy doing so as well as any time I paint my nails within 2 days they chip so out of convenience it is easier just to get them done. Although when I was in high school, I felt as if I needed to purchase certain clothes to "stay in the in". 

The chorus of the song speaks to how we don't have to conform, all we have to do is get up and be us.

You don't have to try so hard
You don't have to, give it all away

You just have to get up, get up, get up, get up

You don't have to change a single thing

You don't have to try so hard

You don't have to bend until you break

You just have to get up, get up, get up, get up

You don't have to change a single thing

-and my favorite 4 lines of the song being-

Wait a second,
Why, should you care, what they think of you
When you're all alone, by yourself, do you like you?
Do you like you?

What matters most in life is if we are happy with who we are, on the inside. It is not if other people are happy with what we look like on the outside. We have to stop and think if the things we do are for ourselves or for the perception of others. Unfortunately, this is not something that we can flip on a switch...it will take time and it will not always be easy. Honestly, even if we hit the point where we feel 100% secure with ourselves there's still the chance we will have moments of doubt.

Just do yourself a favor and make sure when you're all alone, you like you. 
Don't let any voices in your head tell you otherwise.

Questions of the Day:

1) Is there a specific stereotype you've ever fallen into trying to follow?

2) What things have helped you quiet the voices in your head?

3) Which songs do you know that portray a similar message?

If you haven't heard the song before and or if you could use the reminder that you are perfect the way you are be sure to listen below. The video is also, well, amazing. I got chills when I first watched it. 

Sharing this post over on Running with Spoons for the Thinking Out Loud link-up!!

My Blogcation Has Come To An End!

Why hello there everyone! My oh my its been way too long since I last sat down to write a blog post. The reason I have been away from the blogosphere lately is because I have been trying to figure out my place in the "real world." Now, I have come to realize this will not just happen in a few months and rather it is an ongoing process for the rest of my life, I did realize how much I sincerely miss blogging. 

I never planned to stop blogging completely, I would tell myself (and others) that I was going to eventually get back to it. The thing is, I wasn't doing anything to try to speed up the process of starting up again. Then it became easier and easier to say someday soon or the time isn't right yet. 

However, when you are passionate about something, such as blogging, you have make the time. 

When I first began blogging the time to sit down and write up a post came without having to think about it. Since this was the only association I had between time and blog posts, I was unsure of how to balance time when life changed after graduation. Although I've missed many months, this time away actually has become quite a blessing in disguise. It helped me rediscover how important making a conscious effort in keeping the things that matter most to you in the forefront of your life truly is. 

With that all said, my blogcation is over and I am so glad to be back!

When in your life has taking a step back turned out to be beneficial and eye-opening?

When I Look Back, I Look Forward

Hi and happy Thursday! Yesterday I had the opportunity to guest post over on Housewife Glamour for Heather and I couldn't help but want to share it today for Amanda's link up! It is a little different from my thinking out loud posts as of recent; shorter and no lists. Now I love putting together a long post, yet sometimes less words leave room more to think and that's my goal for today's post. The topic is something near and dear to me. It is something I feel is important to remind ourselves of often. 

Being proud of who we are…including where we came from.

No one is perfect. Now, society tries to tell us otherwise, but I promise you that if you are trying to reach it you will be forever searching. The only thing we can hope to do is be the best us that we can be which includes learning and accepting where we came from and what has happened to us. Everything that we endure plays a role in developing us to be the person we are meant to be.

We all feel pain.

We all make mistakes.

We all encounter obstacles.

We all face disappointment.

In the end…we all are human.

These things will always be apart of our lives. There is no escaping them. However, we do hold the power to make them into something we celebrate. I am by no means trying to make this sound as if it is easy to do. It's not. It could take days, weeks, months, or even years and then just when you think that you have the hang of it, life will throw another curveball your way. The key is to not let it dictate us and our every move. If we can be prepared that this thing we call life is going to be filled with multiple hills and battles to overcome each new day ends up being more manageable.

Always remember::

Our struggles develop our strengths. 

Adversity leads to opportunity.

& don't forget::

To be proud of who you are.

Questions of the Day:

1) What helps you overcome what life brings your way?

2) Is there one thing you find harder to accept over others?

3) How do you remind yourself to be happy with who you are?

Funny Yet True Facts

A while back I posted about how laughter is the best medicine; it included why this is as well as different ways to add some laughter in your life. Over the past week or so this post has been resonating in my mind while I have been personally experiencing how much a good laugh really can do. One of the things that had me chuckling recently was a list of hilariously true facts I found on StumbleUpon. I picked out some favorites to share hoping to make your weeks end a little brighter!

This is way too true not only for wifi, but phone service in general. The third just happened to me yesterday at the gym! Where I go to workout I have like zero to no service. Now, my phone likes to taunt me by telling me I have something there and not allowing it to load. All morning while I was home with wifi and good service nothing "urgent" came across my screen. However, 20 minutes after I arrived at the gym an email I needed to respond to came in. I opened it taking the chance that maybe I would get lucky and it would. Nope! I got an error message "couldn't be downloaded." I ended up walking to the windows doing the whole holding my phone up in the air looking like a complete goof!

Source

I literally (and sincerely) LOL'ed at this one. My favorite in this has to be the very first. There have been a countless number of sites where I have been the "one millionth visitor." It probably would take me all my fingers, toes and then some to add up to how many times this has happened!

Thankfully I have never experienced any sort of fire hazard, but I remember at different times hearing, "op it works!" in regards to the smoke detector. The food that was cooking wasn't necessarily burnt, well actually it was rarely burnt, it was just the fact that something had fallen onto one of the burners of the oven. The result? A smoke filled kitchen and a reminder the detector worked!

Such an accurate transformation! Although I can't refer to 1975 itself, I can say I have used tic-tac-toe as a time waster before. Boy, oh, boy could I rack up those points on snake back in the day!

To me the middle is more relevant thinking to when I was in school and now blogging, but nonetheless it makes its point! I've learned that wherever I'm by an outlet to try to make sure my computer is fully charged before I head away from it. I also tend to hit the save button like it's my job!

Oh IKEA, what a maze you are! I have tried to use the map that they provide, quickly realizing that map or not odds are at some point during your duration there it's inevitable that you will get lost. It's quite the marketing tactic though, making it hard to not end up walking out with unintended items!

Source

…or concerts, plays, and various sporting events. I'm sure we all have encountered this or have been with someone who has. When I was younger I'd used my parents coats as a boost!

Ahhh, so many times have I been in the process of touching the send button when the light bulb goes off that there is an error! Even though it usually is little tedious things it still is frustrating. Twitter is another one where this occurs often only, at least there's a simple way to press delete. I've never had much luck with trying to recall emails and there's not really a concrete way to be sure it worked. 

When I was on my way home on Monday night I hit three totally separate road blocks! I wasn't in a rush to get home per se, more so just anxious and those orange and white signs weren't helping.

Questions of the Day:

1) Can you relate to any of these?

2) Is there one that make you laugh most?

3) Do any other funny yet true facts come to mind?

Putting Two and Two Together

Something I constantly find myself doing is trying to make sense where sense is not meant to be made. I am by nature an honest person and when it comes to dishonesty well, I just don't get it. When things leave me feeling uneasy, I end up contemplating; maybe they mean this?, maybe they meant that?, I'm sure they were just rushing through and forgot a part, or I probably heard it wrong. But no. Odds are they did mean what they said, they did not forget anything, and I did hear them right. 

As you get to know people you develop an understanding of who they are. You also develop an understanding of who they are not, which can be a double-edged sword of sorts. Personally because of this I tend to raise a brow at most (not all) things that seem to be out of the ordinary. At this time I begin my downward spiral of attempting to put two and two together in hopes to make four. 

However, we will never be able to add up to four if the truth is missing.  

Even though I am still working on accepting the fact that you can't make lemonade out of limes I like to think I have learned a few tips over time to snap me back to reality when needed. They would be:

• follow your gut

• don't try to solve it

• not everyone is going to be sincere 

• take what's in front of you for what it is

Questions of the Day:
1) Do you find yourself doing this at times? 
2) Are there certain things that trigger you to do it?
3) What helps when a situation doesn't sit well with you?

Is Less Really More?

I'm sure we all have heard the phrase "less is more" a time, two or twenty. While I do agree that there are moments where simplicity and clarity make for a better decision/situation, I also have to say it is important to evaluate what you are taking less of. Certain things in life need to have more emphasis and attention placed on them. Now, before I ramble on and probably begin to confuse you I'm going to wrap up this intro and get on to the meat of today's thinking out loud with Amanda!

• Less Talking : More Listening

I remember learning back in my freshman year of college that there was a difference between hearing and listening. Listening is something that takes conscious effort. We have to make the choice to really listen to those we are with which takes the decision to close our own mouths for a few minutes. It also involves us to not already be thinking about what we will say next. Just because there isn't sound coming from our mouths doesn't mean that we aren't still in talking mode. I have done this even myself. There have been times that I am so focused on my next point to make that I completely disregard (not purposefully) what the other has said. I know now that in these instances my time would have been better spent by slowing myself down and actually listening. 

• Less Planning : More Doing

I am a definite planner in life, but at the same time I can still understand and appreciate this one. Planning can take away from living in the here and now. At times it is easy to get drawn into trying to dictate our own future that we forget to embrace what is happening in the present. It also can make change harder to accept. When we make a plan we also set a goal and if you're anything like me when you make a goal you don't rest until you reach it. The problem I tend to encounter though is that when life happens I get frazzled because my goal is no longer feasible. Yes, planning is necessary. There are many things that would not happen without a plan and honestly I will always be a planner. However, it's beneficial to form a happy medium. Such as: make a plan, yet also be able to go with the flow.

• Less Complaining : More Encouraging

Something I live by and have mentioned quite a few times on here already is the thought that there is always someone out there who is struggling equally or worse than you are. When we decide to look to these individuals the problems we are facing do not seem as severe anymore. By taking our off ourselves and helping others we also can even get to the point where we forget whatever we were complaining about in the first place. Growing up my parents used to take me quite often to volunteer at the soup kitchen. I was and still am thankful for that because I learned a lot from the experiences I had there. It made the little things I was concerned about not feel as big. There is one Saturday morning in particular that I will never forget. As I was serving food I was smiling and interacting with those who were there. Towards the end when I was beginning to clean up a man who I had served earlier walked over to me. He told me that he just wanted to thank me for being so kind. He told me that he couldn't remember the last time he had a person smile at him and because of that he knew he was going to have a great day. A simple smile, something we all probably take for granted because we multiple times a day, meant the world to him. I think to this exact time and place often because it reopens my eyes - I mean really, what do we have to complain about?

• Less Worrying : More Hoping

Worrying gets us nowhere. It does not have the power to fix a problem nor take it away. All it has the power to do is stress us out more then we already may be or more then we need to. In almost every scenario where I worry I find myself thinking only about the worst possible outcome that could be. Then it becomes very easy to fixate on said outcome and get stuck in a rut. There's a pretty quick fix to eliminating unnecessary worry, think of the best things that could happen - hope. 

• Less Frowning : More Smiling

Spending time frowning will not change your mood however putting a smile on your face possibly could. How? Smiling releases endorphins in your body. Endorphins  which I have also seen referred to as the happy hormones, trigger a positive feeling in the body. Of course it's not instantly going to make life better, but it could help life your spirits. Also, it takes less muscles to smile then it does to frown. So unless you are trying to give your face muscles a workout…smile!

• Less Doubting : More Believing

Words are commanding tools. What you think and say plays a huge role in the actions you think you can take. If you tell yourself enough times "I can't do it" odds are you won't be able to do it. Now this doesn't go to say that by simply say "I can do it" you will be able to. It is not black and white that way because completing a task or activity obviously still will take effort and work. So now you are probably asking well then what is the point. The point is that saying "I can do it" gets you one step further because you are believing in yourself. You are creating a positive mindset and removing doubt.

• Less Insecurity : More Trust

This is a very hard one for me because my senior year in high school I was bullied pretty bad. After this I became skeptical of everyone. I began to live in fear of being hurt again so I would basically shut down. And I started to let it dictate my life. I would not trust someone until they gave me a reason to. I built up walls and started filtering everything. And I still struggle with it here and there because when I do get hurt I want to retreat to these old ways. But, I have worked too much to free myself of the insecurities my senior year created. What I keep in the forefront of my mind to not go back to that place is that hurt is going to happen and we all experience it. Over time I've learned that it is okay to trust; letting down walls has brought many incredible relationships my way. 

• Less Weakness : More Confidence

Confidence is key and can carry you a long way. The only person who should determine the level of trust and belief you have inside yourself is you yourself. We all have everything inside of us we need to be who we are meant to be. It is important to remember that there is a difference between being confident and having a big head/full of yourself. A humble person can still yield confidence. 

• Less Ignorance : More Understanding

No one is perfect. We all make mistakes. Each of us has something to learn everyday. Life happens and things don't always go as planned. At one point or another we all will encounter failure. 

• Less Hate : More Love

Far too often I have overheard people not liking others just because their friend doesn't like them. They "hate" them without even taking the chance to get to know the person. Also, books (people) definitely get judged by their cover. I can say from personal testimonies that covers can be deceiving. Give people the time of day and I can guarantee that many will end up surprising you.

• Less Ungratefulness : More Gratitude

Live life with an attitude of gratitude because there truly is so much to celebrate. Don't get caught up in the minor objects/details otherwise you will forever be searching for more. I feel as if this set is very similar to the one above; Less Complaining : More Encouraging. When you find yourself unsatisfied remember all the luxuries you have at your fingertips that others do not.

Embracing Your Clean Slate

Hey everyone! Wednesday's over here usually yield a photo album post, but after a little thinking I came to the conclusion that I wanted this to become something I do once a month. With not blogging last week I missed starting this at the beginning of June which means the plan is now to do this series at the end of the month! It is a really fun post to do and unfortunately I would find myself rushing to pick a picture so I felt taking more time to prep could make these more special. This process of simply reevaluating a weekly post made me realize how easy it is to start over. Honestly that's one of the great things about this life we live…everyday we have the chance to have a clean slate.

Now I am sure everyone reading already knows this yet, here it is anyway - not every day will go as intended. Actually, my days rarely go as planned. The good news? It is just one day of the many we have to live. When we look at it that way whatever happened doesn't seem like such a travesty. Don't get me wrong, it's normal to struggle, we all do, especially right then and there in the moment. The key is to let it go when your eyes close for the night. This is something I still am personally working on for the bigger instances of life. I find myself holding onto issues, then dreaming of worries or stresses on my mind. When this happens I not only wake up still thinking about it, but also already feeling mentally (and sometimes physically) exhausted. If I were to just take a few minutes when I lay my head on my pillow to take a deep breath and clear my head I know the morning to come would be much better. The opportunity for a new beginning is out there, it's ours for the taking. 

Questions of the Day:

1) Do you look at every day as a new beginning?

2) How do you let go of a previous day?

3) What do you do when things don't go as planned?

The Gold Or The Rainbow?

Hello, Hello! I hope the week is treating all of you well thus far!

While we all may not necessarily have a favorite color, we still tend to be drawn to them at different times. Have we ever stopped to think why this is so? I know I haven't. But, I did see something over on Huffington Post that helped to make a connection; colors can transform our moods and attitudes. 

BLUE: soothing

has shown to slow down heart rate and lower blood pressure

GREEN: relaxation

is associated with the environment making one feel refreshed

YELLOW: happy

causes a sense of joy, maybe even adding a pep in your step

PURPLE: confidence

rich and regal color to help one face obstacles 

BEIGE: calming

a warm and inviting color that can calm nerves

PINK: TLC

symbolizes love and acceptance

ORANGE: excitement 

a stimulating color which can spark creativity and enthusiasm 

Maybe it's never been the pot of gold we needed, just the rainbow itself. 

Questions of the Day:

1) Do you currently have a favorite color?

2) Have you ever noticed a mood change due to color?

3) What would you say is needed most in your life at this moment?
