Don't fret my pet, I decided to come up with a list of things to do INSTEAD of eating your feelings to help you(me) get through this!
1.) Learn a foreign language. That way you can learn new swear words to yell at the tv during the super bowl. #%*&!$ Seahawks!!!!
2.) Take up knitting or crocheting to keep your hands busy. That way you can knit yourself a Packer afghan to keep yourself warm next season! If those two things aren't your cup of tea, try wood carving, sculpting, sketching, painting, sewing, leatherworking... Using your hands makes it harder to eat your feelings.
4.) Write a letter to your Grandma. It'll make her day and you'll feel warm and fuzzy. Bonus if you can convince her to help you with your new hobby from #2.
5.) Go work out. Maybe instead of watching the superbowl and crying into a bowl of nachos organize your own football game where you can take your aggression out on your buddies or that little punk Bear's fan in your neighbor hood. Look up Jane Fonda workout videos or prancercize videos. If you don't follow along with them, at least you'll be amused!
6.) Prep some healthy snacks for your week. If you can do nothing but eat your feelings, maybe you can stay on track by nomming on celery instead of, oh, 3 pints of Ben and Jerry's.
7.) Re-organize your closet. If it's anything like mine, the folded clothes start to topple over after some time. If you're OCD, organize it by color. Whatever floats your boat. Without the Packer's win you probably feel like you have nothing... think of the people that actually have nothing and get rid of clothes you never wear and donate it to homeless shelters.
8.) Re-arrange your living room. Gives you a new perspective and a different angle from which to throw things at the tv in frustration. A new challenge!
9.) Take a nice bubble bath. You'll come out like a beautiful wrinkly peach and smell like sunshine and daisies. You probably need one after sweating through that last quarter of the game anyway.
10.) Stock up on discounted Packer's gear for next year. I'm sure Bostick Jersey's are gonna be hella cheap! (Sorry, cheap shot.)
11.) Blow some bubbles. Blow your worries into the bubbles and watch them float away. Kind of like our championship hopes were blown away.
12.) Practice handwriting with your non-dominant hand. Perhaps writing lines will be therapeutic and writing with your other hand will take a lot more concentration. Try... "The Seattle Seahawks are stupid fatheads that deserve to stub their big toes on hard rocks."
13.) Read a book of motivation quotes. You can even keep it in a handy spot, like the bathroom so you can have it handy when you're on the toilet "thinking." Everyone can enjoy a good uplifting "think." Read this:
“I’ve learned that something
constructive comes from every defeat.”
– Tom Landry
