We all have our dull days. It could be an unpleasant situation or even just no reason in particular. Point is, we need to remedy this mood. Here's my emotional first aid kit. You're welcome to borrow any item that may be of help to you. 1. Prep for a Good night's sleep Take a shower/bath. The lovely scent of soap and luxurious lather of shampoo is bound to relax you. Find your most comfortable clothes to wear. Prep your environment. Ensure that its clean and adjusted to your liking. Keep everything close by before you climb into bed so that you have easy access without having to get up.
