Inspiration & Relaxation
Here are some sites that I found inspiring for times like these:
- The site, “Gives Me Hope” shares life’s uplifting experiences. “Life is beautiful today!”
- This site, “FMyLife” shares life’s bad experiences, letting you know you are not the only one! “My life sucks but I don’t give a f***”
- Watch an uplifting movie. I recently found a mini-movie series on Hulu from Glamour, called “Reel Moments from Women in Film”. They are all inspirational and uplifting, some from a women’s viewpoint”.
- Have a laugh by reading my post, “Need a Laugh?“
- Here is a post about breathing exercises, meditation and visualization that may help for relaxation, called “Breathing Exercises, Meditation and Visualization for PTSD“.

Gary Jules – Mad World (Always gives me goosebumps…)
