What helps you when you are down or stressed

I get up in the morning before anyone else in the house.I do this 7 days a week.I love the peace and quiet of the early morning.I have a cup of tea and my brekky, then I always check the blog posts.I wonder will there come a day,when I don't do this,but for now I love to feel connected to people in similar situations,and I also like to think I can help others.After brekky,I walk 3 kilometres round a fitness trail near our house.In the afternoon I ride my bike,and in the early evening,I walk 2kilometres with my daughter or husband.Exercise makes me feel great,and clears my head and lifts my spirits.I have many sayings stuck on walls round the house,which have been there for ages for the kids that we foster .Now I find that they are helping me!I think that it takes time(and we are all different)and we shouldn't expect too much of ourselves.Recovery will happen in its own time.Love and positive thoughts to everyone.Love Robyn.xoxo
