I’m not feeling my best at the moment. Since I arrived to Sweden I feel so bad in my stomach and my body muscles hurt. I am extremely tired. So today is not a very good day for me but there are still good things in this day.
I’m with my cats and my partner staying at home eating sushi and hopefully I will get better soon.
Stay positive!!

Roses evoke romance, love and beauty. Revered for its velvety petals and heavenly scent, it is nice to have them in the home and garden, but did you ever wondered about rose or a flower meaning before you gift them to your beloved?
Roses and flowers have inspired people over the ages to develop a language by ascribing meanings to color.
Traditionally, the rose is considered the flower of love. Nothing beats red roses in saying “I Love You”.
When you consciously choose a certain color, variety or number of roses for someone, you bring a whole new depth to the gesture of gifting roses. The good thing about my new neighbourhood in Stockholm is that neighbours care to plant as many flowers as they can to put a smile on your face while walking around.
So don’t wait until your sweetheart appears with a bouquet of blooms to give your home some floral flair. The health benefits of adorning your abode with flowers are worth splurging on the blossoms for yourself.
Having some pretty flowers or roses around you can make you feel less negative. they can have a positive carryover impact on your mood.
Be positive, be happy and spread love around you.

People with pain tend to be over achievers because they push themselves until the pain is screaming.
We try to survive the pain which is hard enough to deal with in the light of day. But sometimes we can’t survive the pain at night which robs us of our much-needed sleep and that can be downright exhausting.
I’m learning more about behavioural treatment for pain management because painkillers don’t help anymore to ease the pain. These therapies can help you relax or change your thinking patterns and cope with pain. This can include:
1⃣ Cognitive therapy which can help you to gain control over your pain by teaching yourself to recognize and change emotions that can make pain worse, such as anxiety, anger, and sadness.
2⃣ Progressive muscle relaxation which can ease muscle tension that may be adding to your pain.
3⃣ Deep breathing exercises which can help you to relax.
4⃣ Guided imagery which includes imagining a pleasant scene that takes your mind off your pain.
5⃣ Asking for help: if you’re in pain and you’re not getting the help you need from your doctor, feel free to switch doctors and if you can’t do this then speak up for yourself to get the treatment you need.
No one should be told that their pain isn’t real or not severe enough for treatment. You deserve to live your life as pain-free as possible.
