Today I wake up not so well because I slept very badly last night. In my country, Portugal, we have governmental elections today, and my wife is helping with the elections, so I would have all the day for my self.
Usually, when I wake up like this, I know I would have a bad day. But today I wanted to do something different and challenge my thoughts. I live in the south of Portugal in a beautiful region called Algarve. We have a Mediterranean climate here and at this time of the year summer is showing us its presents with a beautiful day.
I thought to myself that I could go to beach, dip in the sea, put my feet on sand and try to relax. This would be the first time this year on the beach. I packed my towel, put shorts and sandals, and left home. First I stopped in a market to buy sun screen and then head to the beach. When I arrive on the beach I admired the beautiful day, with other people already sharing the blessings of this wonderful weather with me.
It was a beautiful morning and while at the beach I catch up some reading with a Stephen King's novel (I took a picture of this moment which appears in my profile).
The story is: I need to challenge my anxious thoughts and do pleasant activities even if I do not feel like. In other words, I need to learn to live life again so I can get better.
