35 Ways to Beat the Blues

Feeling low, down, or just plain said? Here are some crazy, practical, honest, unique, astoning, funny, yet truly inspiring ways on how you can pick yourself up when you hit the lowest ebb of your life!

1. “If you ever got the blues, look back over your life. Think about the hard times and how you overcame them. Then you give yourself a pat on the back.” – Tanya Tucker.

2. “Oh, well, sometimes, you just gotta laugh.” – Roseanne.

3. “… if I start feeling a little punny, I just pick up my old guitar and sing a few hymns.” – Myrtle Todd.

4. “… I clean. If I get down about something, I’ll polish the entire house, clean out the garage, reorganize my office, wax my car, and groom my animals… I guess you could say I sweep away the blues!” – Geoff Bodine.

5. “I remembered by Mum’s advice. ‘Keep your chin up. Set an example for others. Don’t blame anyone else for your own shortcomings. And when you win, remember the guy you beat. Don’t goat or be arrogant. He will be hurting, so be kind.’” – George H.W. Bush.

Many years ago, I would have defined miracles as something for which there was no explanation. That was my concept of miracles. So when patients would recover unexpectedly from disease, I would rationalize what mechanisms were present within the body that could explain their recovery.

Today, I realize that everything is a miracle. When you ask quantum physicist and astronomers to explain creation, they do not have all the answers. Life is a miracle, and it is derived from the intelligent, living, conscious energy that created it. You can call it God or anything you want to, but the nature of life shows us it is intelligent and loving, or we wouldn't be able to survive a cut finger or an infection. Most of us do not stop to think about life on earth being a miracle.

To me, miracles are about our potential and what has been built into us to help us to survive. A botanist I read about called miracles "spontaneous reversals" because he saw how plants altered their genes to survive climate changes and diseases. Just think about the fact that a plant doesn't bleed to death every fall when the leaves drop off...it heals and survives.

What does he get by giving every day? He gets nothing. He won't be richer. Won't appear on TV. Still anonymous. And not a bit more famous. What he does receive are emotions. He witnesses happiness. Reaches a deeper understanding. Feel the love. Receives what money can't buy. A world made beautiful. And in your life? What is that you desire most?
