This week, then, just a simple tip. She wrote a post about things she’s learned in life, and in it, she cited something musician Ian MacKaye had told her. It was about how to deal with bad days in life, and stresses. To quote her directly, Sarah wrote this: “This is something Ian MacKaye told me in an interview once, and it stuck with me. If you’re feeling miserable, clean your windows. You might or might not feel better afterwards, he said, but at least you’ll have clean windows. It doesn’t have to be windows, obviously; you could clean your oven or scrub your bathtub or whatever, but doing something physical that gives you visible results can often help with feeling depressed. I can’t speak for the vegetable oil bit, but the cleaning windows is a wonderful tip. The idea of just doing something in the midst of a dark day, making progress with one little job. I love that a lot, and whilst my windows are a disgrace, I’ve certainly used the idea behind it lots of times over the past year. I can vouch for it. Lots of you, I suspect, have different tips, and please do share them in the comments. Until next time, though, thanks, as always, for reading. Stay awesome.
