You have probably felt the letdown that is common after a highly-anticipated event. You spend days, weeks, and months preparing for the event, the big day finally arrives, you celebrate the experience, and then--suddenly--it is over. When the experience has passed, you might not know what to do. How will you fill the time that has recently been occupied with busyiness?
Christmas is an example of a situation like this. You make out your Christmas lists, fight the crowds at the mall, stand in long lines, deal with tired and overworked cashiers, come home, wrap the gifts, hide them in the closet, and then frantically clean the house in preparation for relatives who will be arriving shortly. Your family members finally arrive, and you enjoy a good holiday and a pleasant, memorable visit. Then the holiday passes, the relatives go home, and you are alone. What do you do? How can you get over the letdown that you feel?
One way is to return to what you love. If you had been publishing articles online, for example, get back to that. Take a look at the headlines, and see wdhich ones might inspire some ideas. Write artices, submit them, and look forward to earning money for them. If you write for a site where your articles must first be approved before tehy are published, you should feel some additional happiness and excitement when you learn that the articles that you submitted have been approved. In addition to doing what you love, there is another way to return to the normal happy you that you know so well: exercise.
Working out will make you feel good, particularly if you work out outside. There, you will get fresh air and sun. You might walk or run, for example. As you work out, you can greet your neighbors when you see them. Exercise will help you. It will also give you the energy to do what you want to do. After a workout, you might consider inviting some friends to go out for coffee or to go shopping, for example. You and your friends can then get together, go out for some fun, and catch up.
When you come home from your outing, you will likely be carrying several bags that perhaps contain clothing for a long-awaited job. You will be tired, and you will want to fix dinner and settle in for the evening. You should notice something, however: the letdown feeling is gone. The old familiar happy you has returned.
