Doing one of those things can often lift my spirits.<\/p>\n<p>I also like to use oracle or Tarot cards because they sometimes help me think about what&#8217;s going on in my life, and they challenge me to find other possibilities when something is on my mind. When I&#8217;m down about something, it&#8217;s easy to feel like there&#8217;s no way out, but there are usually alternatives. I just need to open my mind to them, and sometimes the cards help me do that.<\/p>\n<p>What are some things that help you when you&#8217;re not feeling well?<\/p>\n<p>Find out what other blog hop participants do when they&#8217;re not feeling well at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.longandshortreviews.com\/\">Long and Short Reviews<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.longandshortreviews.com\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8385\" src=\"https:\/\/kate-hill.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/WednesdayBloggingChallenge-copylasr.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1084\" height=\"332\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kate-hill.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/WednesdayBloggingChallenge-copylasr.jpg 1084w, https:\/\/kate-hill.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/WednesdayBloggingChallenge-copylasr-300x92.jpg 300w, https:\/\/kate-hill.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/WednesdayBloggingChallenge-copylasr-1024x314.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/kate-hill.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/WednesdayBloggingChallenge-copylasr-768x235.jpg 768w, https:\/\/kate-hill.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/WednesdayBloggingChallenge-copylasr-760x233.jpg 760w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1084px) 100vw, 1084px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My first thought when I read the topic of this week&rsquo;s challenge&ndash;What do you do when you&rsquo;re not feeling well?&ndash;was that &ldquo;not feeling well&rdquo; meant being physically sick, but it can also mean emotional distress.
