How to cope with disappointment (In eight easy steps)

We all have to deal with disappointment at some point in our lives. Sometimes its the disappointment at McDonalds cleaning the milkshake machine, others its the heart crushing news that you finished 0.68% under the grade boundary for your degree. I write this both to help others, but to help push myself through the latter. Please comment below any advice you all have, because it will not fall on deaf ears.

ONE: Cook/Order your favourite meal

Yes you heard me, its not only celebrations that call for greasy, most likely cheese covered foods. Treat yourself, and whilst you're at it buy some chocolate, it is very much needed

TWO: Run a bath

Not just any bath, run a bath filled will all your favourite lotions and potions. Lush bath products aren’t necessary, but are extremely recommended. Who can feel disappointed in a blue glittery bath (the answer is of course no one)

THREE: Put on your favourite PJs

Yes, preferably freshly washed. That just adds to the magic if I’m being honest.

FOUR: Vent

Vent hard. If no one will take your call scream to all the sad songs. Write it all down in a fit of rage, ball it up, rip it up, blame the world, and chuck it away. It will do wonders for your mood.

FIVE: Talk to your mum

Just do it, mums always have the best advice.

SIX: Get yourself a hot drink

Good old English breakfast tea, but hot chocolate covered in cream is also good.

SEVEN: Realise its not the end of the world

It may feel totally shit, but the world hasn’t stopped spinning, and this isn’t the end of your life (though it may feel like it). Use it to fuel you. This disappointment will be the start of your times bestseller biography as a hurdle you overcame. 

EIGHT: Plot world domination

So this bit of your life didn’t work out, what are you going to do next. Big dreams only. Pintrest that stuff, create mood boards. Don’t give up.

I hope you enjoyed this extra post, it was very therapeutic to write to be honest. Now I’m gonna go make myself a cup of tea and figure out what next.

Thanks for reading this post, and my blog in general. 

You will never know, because I could never say, how much it means to me.

Love as always,
