I've been feeling flat this morning, both physically and mentally. Ended up queuing a bunch of songs together that elicit a strong emotional response and had a good cry. Maybe that's all I needed. I'm thankful to be working from home today, and with the Mrs out for the morning too... gives me a bit of space :)
I've got the Study Lofi playlist on. Certainly feels a little "Everything's getting a bit hectic and the walls are closing in" hey. But not sure if thats actually whats happening or if my brains trying to turn the cogs tighter on me. Wish I could have a good cry too. Glad your feeling better!
I have a Japanese Jazz playlist that I was listening to a lot over the last week or so for this same reason. And yeah, doesn't matter if it's external or internal... sometimes you just got to try and bring the mood to a baseline yourself. The Study Lofi playlist is definitely a good vibe to tap into in these instances.
Yeah just like a reset or release or something
Same here. Very low on the mental side for me. Not sure why, but trying to make the best of it.
Humans are such complex buggers... like, sometimes it's easier to lean into it, other times it's easier to flip it. But actually knowing which path to take is the problem. Here's hoping you can make the best of it, mate.
Thanks mate. I get like this occasionally and it tends to last a few days. No real reason for it, just how it be. I'll be fine. Just need to wallow in a shitty mood.
