DAY IN THE LIFE | Getting Out Of A Rut & Taking A Mental Health Day
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 фев 2022
- Sometimes we all need a break. Or at least I know I do. So in this video I’m talking a mental health day to practice some small healthy habits and do things I enjoy to help me get out of a rut. We’re going to make some healthy food, do some cleaning, spend time outside, and more! All the things to help me get back to a better mental state. ✨
*Disclaimer: Ultimately, I am doing okay… not going through anything too serious. Just the regular ups and downs of life. 🤍

What's one small thing that you like to do to help you get out of a rut? 🤍
P.S. Want to get more daily inspiration + updates? Then follow along on Instagram! You can find me here: instagram.com/ashlynneeaton/ 🤍
Definitely watercolor painting. And you are the one who inspired me to try it. :)
I don't know why but having cleared off kitchen countertops and table always help boost my mood, it's like the sun shining through the clouds after it's been gloomy all day and I can enjoy cooking instead of dumping things and making messes trying to find some where to set things down.
Cook a nice dinner! Making delicious food is something I enjoy and it really helps my mood to be able to feed my body and my family something nutritious, satiating, and yummy 😋
I journal and do a brain dump list and break all the work down to smallest chunks .. thank you for the video Ashlynne I hope you'll have a nice day💙
Exercise and/or taking a walk with my dog always helps… pets are the best company for when you’re feeling down. They don’t even need to speak to make you feel better 😘
Being in the middle of a long rut myself now I really really appreciate your honesty and openness about this topic. Thank you so much for showing online that not everyday is perfect nor productive nor has to be! I'm struggling more than ever to get out of this rut and it's great for me to see all your tips and those from people here in the comment section. I love your channel and this community so much!! ❤️❤️
Me to!😊
Hi Ash! This is such a wonderful video. Good to see the real side if life. Mine are:
1. Reading the Bible and praying the verses
2. Going out to run and being surrounded by nature
3. Journaling
4. Silence (no music playing and not even worship music) to keep the input at a minimum. I found this powerful. The literal external noise affects the internal noise)
5. Talking to my best friend
6. Skin care/a good bath!
7. Cleaning my home (clutter bogs me down)
Oh there are so many good ones here! Love this list! Thank you for sharing. 🤍🥰
@@AshlynneEaton Grateful for you and your vlogs that are always a source of positivity and excellence! Your book list is stellar too! Finished Where The Crawdads Sing and It Ends With Us. BOTH stellar 5-star reads for me! Working my way thru Atomic Habits that is life-changing too! Thank you!
If I can’t get outside, RUclips has some really cool ambiance landscapes videos and soundscapes. I pick the one that makes me feel the best that day based on the season and my mood and cast it to the big tv, light a candle, and go about my day knocking tasks out.
Oh I love that soundscapes idea!! Sounds amazing 🤍
This is just what I needed today. I've had such an off week, and often get mad at myself for having a bad day and not being positive.
There's such a pressure to put on this positive, happy life all the time. Thank you for being so honest.
We all have days like these, but it's something that most of us aren't comfortable talking about. I appreciate the examples you have shown to gain some strategies on how to get through days like these that we all face. ♥️
Of course!! So happy to help in whatever small way. 🤍
I am literally going thru something similar. It has been a tough few weeks. Thanks for the video. It cheered me up so much.
Repotting my plants with my little ones and a quick chat with my mom elevated my mood the last couple of days!
I enjoy doing Bible Word Searches, reading Bible verses and circling key words helps me remember what is truly important. I also have a daily practice of lighting a candle, taking out my mat to stretch and pray while listening to Tibetan prayer bowls. Walking my Chihuahua too has helped uplift my day, he is so excited about the little things, reminds me to be that way too!
Hiiiii
Holy Cow!!!! I love how you can physically see throughout the video how you start feeling better throughout the day!!!❤❤❤❤
When I'm in a rut.... I watch your videos to feel better...100% works every time so thank you!❤
I feel you. I'm working my way out of the 2021 rut. I've come so far. I spent the last 6 months of 2021 coming out of depression. Deep cleaning, organizing, starting therapy. I've been bringing in more money the last few months. Need to stay consistent and keep going. I appreciate your content. You keep me focused. Thanks so much.
I’m so glad you made a video about getting out of a bad mood! I think it’s necessary for us as humans to share not only the good, but also the bad things with others. I applaud everyone who is brave enough to do so. Thanks Ashlynne! When I’m having a bad day or I just feel sad, I like to do things like watching a comfort movie or a show with my husband (preferably while cuddling), taking a long relaxing bath, reading, talking to may family or one of my friends, being outside (but only if it’s warm and sunny), eating something good and sleeping in or taking a nap :) I believe those are most of my remedies that I can think of. It’s the easiest in the summer, because a warm, sunny weather and preferably some water environment are able to miraculously cure me from all of my sorrows. :)
Thank you so much for being so honest & authentic! I just discovered your channel & I'm sooo happy I did! Light & Love to you and to all making their way out of a tough place!!💕
Love this video. You could see your mood lifting as the day went on. I have had a few down days lately and these are good tips 🤗
Thank you for this video! I've been really struggling with my mental health on and off for about 2 months now, so I definitely need a reset day. This came at the right time!
Tiredness (as well as a little bit of overwhelm) is starting to seep in for me due to me having a busy week with school, so this video provided a good reminder for me to slow down and just take some time off every now and then. The assignment I have isn't due until Monday anyways. Thank you for being a little more open and vulnerable with us in this video, Ashlynne
Thank you for sharing. You’re probably feeling “languishing” aka “feeling blah”. There is a really good article online that explains why some of us are feeling this way lately, especially during the pandemic. But glad you’re doing something positive to keep your flow and energy going.
Thanks for sharing Ashlynne! I'm glad you feel better and energized. I definitely need to create days for myself where I work on getting out of a rut. I have those days too much as a caregiver and also mourning the last of my mom last year. Anyway, take care and God bless you.
I really loved this type of video! I actually think I'd love to see more videos of this type every once in a while. They're extremely valuable and there just aren't enough of them on the internet. Watching someone else lift themselves up when they're feeling down is exactly one of those "little things" you can do to help yourself feel better, and you provided exactly that for everyone watching - and it definitely lifted my own spirits for the day. As someone with ADHD, I can get really overwhelmed by thoughts that have nothing to do with what I'm doing in the moment, but this definitely served as a good reminder to re-center my brain in the present. Thank you so much. :)
Playing piano is one of my go-to’s to boost my mood!
Glad you're feeling better. This was a great video and motivation to keep pressing on especially when one is feeling down. Good for you. I needed that. When I'm down, I listen to uplifting music (for me, that includes Christian praise music) and I talk with friends or family. Blessings to you!
A nap always resets my day! Thanks for sharing the hard days as well as the productive ones!
Hi Ashlynne - thanks for sharing with us how you manage when not feeling the greatest. As well as being brave, your helping us viewers what we can do in a similar situation. I too find doing activities or tasks that bring joy helps me feel better whilst going through a journey, God helps too. I love bright colors too - take care 💜
Loved the video! We all have weeks/days like these, and I appreciate you sharing yours…I think it helps normalize it. I like a good nap when I’m having a tough week…like on a Saturday or Sunday when I don’t have too much planned. Being a little slower helps recharge and reset my body and mind.
Ashlynne, you have inspired me every single time I watch your video. Thanks for sharing this video and letting us know the other side of you as well 🌿 feel better soon ❤️
It would be inhuman to be smiley and happy every single day/video. Sometimes it’s beneficial to just go through the motions a bit and feel the feelings 💕
Ash, this was one of your best videos yet. Thanks.
February is the perfect month for a mental health day, I could use a day like this soon! Thanks for taking us along with you!
Thanks for sharing this day with us. Glad that you are feeling better. For me it's also clean house, clear mind. 🤗
Little late to watching this one, but I think it’s my favourite video you’ve ever made!! Such a good reminder and nice to see how you manage those down days. ❤️
Thank you for being super real in the intro! 💛
Love this type of vlog ❤️
I really enjoy those little projects. They add up to some pretty epic days.
Literally had a day like that today; I enjoy vacuuming and steam mopping my house while listening to some good music. I age. That exact brand but in a lavender color and painted my nails too! 😅 now just catching up on RUclips and watching my favorite subscribers always gets me in a good mood. Going to enjoy a movie later with the hubs and eat some vegan icecream 🍦 thanks for showing us this type of video. Very relatable!
Oh that’s so awesome!! Sounds like it’s been a good day. 🥰🤍
Ashlynne, I don't normally leave comments but I've been watching you for so long now. I look forward to all your videos and you bring me so much joy and inspiration. Thank you for being vulnerable and for sharing this side of your life. Trust me there are so many people who feel overwhelmed and down and feel alone. You are not alone. I'm sending you a big hug and know that you are so supported. Hang in there, whatever you're going through. You've built an amazing community that will back you up no matter what. When I see you tear up, I tear up too. I'm eating chocolate right now as self care. Sending you love and uplifting energy.
I’m reading Gentle and Lowly and it’s such an encouraging book. I love this video 🤍
Absolutely beautiful video ! Thank you for showing as you say " both sides of the story ". Love your videos !
Such a lovely, encouraging and calming video 😊
We all have days like these, seeing Instagram and other social media platforms show how others have perfect days and have everything together but sadly that's not always the reality.
On days where I feel low and don't feel like doing anything, I try keeping myself away from social media I turn off my phone and laptop (espcially if I don't have work that day) and go out for a walk I'm blessed to stay in a wonderful green campus in India and I take full advantage of it. I go for walks meet up with friends spend time with my parents and mostly avoid all screens
I really hope you feel better. I really love your videos ❤️
That's great! Great vid ❤️🙏 God bless and keep going beauties! You got this. So important to keep lessening stigma of mental health. Definitely it's ok not to be ok or have days we don't feel our best. Because God will help us and we can help ourselves. As a mental health Channel I love seeing others be real and share tips and their days on getting out of a rut.
The black dress with blue flowers looks really suits you! Cuddles with my husband always helps me with stress!
PERFECT timing I love you 😍 ❤️
Oh I’m so glad to hear that. Sending so much love your way! 🤍
when i have a bad mood day...i will grab my coffee and sit in a couch ...and have a little "me" time...this instantly make my day better❤️...Thanks for the inspo Ashley!!! Love u as always✨
Oh that’s so sweet!! I love the sounds of that. 🤍
This is exactly what I do first thing every morning. If I don’t, my day starts off on the wrong foot. It’s amazing how something so simple can change a whole mood.
@@abbie1254 🙌
Embrace the grey days we don't get much of those here in naples but when we do I read a great book and sip on hot coffee. All of us have grey days when everything doesn't go as planned but I've learned to live like it's my last day. Don't let anything ruin Your days embrace each one with ❤️ no matter how tough and dull it feels.
I loved your self-care day! So glad that you got to feeling better! Now I definitely want to go paint my nails and some fun color, lol. Love the content, keep it up!
I didn’t know Essie makes a quick dry polish! That’s awesome! That color is amazing. 😍🤪
The blue flower dress is so so stunning....it is your color for sure!
Loved this format from you! The internet needs a pinch more reality!
Good for you, you look so happy And healthy! I loss my mind if my space isn’t clean!! 💛🌿
I totally get that! 🤍
Im sorry you've had bad days! I've been in a rut lately too! Things suck to be honest! Im thinking of you! Love ya!
My very happy place is riding my buggy in the woods!! We live in the country with woods all around and it lifts my spirits like nothing else!!!! I LOVE trees!!! When I can’t go because of the weather, I draw. I love to draw and I am learning how to paint. My dream is to paint trees!!!
Ooo that nail polish is so pretty. 😍
I’ve gone through a lot of pain, loss and hardships but what has helped me is praying and getting Holy Spirit filled with worship music. Honestly even though I’ve gone through a lot on my life, it’s on those deepest valleys that the person of the Holy Spirit has become so much real in my life. I encourage you to start every day praying and reading 📖 meditation in God’s presence. It will change how you manage your feelings. We live by faith not by feelings! And yes sunshine ☀️ is essential!😎☀️
Super cute plant pot
When I feel stuck, I enjoy baking delicious stuff, and also I really love organizing, so I find a spot in the house that needs a bit of extra attention and focus my energy on that, before I know it I feel good again
The pots are so cute 🪴🪴
Ups and downs are just life. We always get through. Just go with the flow and it's easier to deal with.
🤍🤍🤍
Great day in the life video and you’re so elegant, Ashlynne!🌹🌹❤️❤️😊🌸
Thank you so much Ervin! Hope you have a wonderful day!
You too, Ashlynne!
Your skin is glowing and is beautiful! I was wondering if you have a make up or skin care video?
You guys have a huge back yard! I love getting out in the NC sun this time of year too.
The dress is stunning 🌼
I prepare myself a beautiful late breakfast, also paint my nails 🧡🌼
Really enjoyed this video Ashlynne! 🥰Thank you!
Also, I think the lining is Sherpa?
You give me so much peace!🥰 btw, where are the tea bags from?
I loved all your new clothes!! Pretty♡♡
Oh thank you so much!! 🤍
Super au top ashlynne 😊😊👍
My “ruts” often involve needing to get away for a minute from all the cats and chores and this hood in general and all that comes with it. Sometimes I take my iced coffee with me, hop in the Jeep and drive half a block over to my fave shade tree. After that it’s just whatever seems good. Maybe read or watch a vid or write or listen to upbeat feel good music. I just sit in my car so I can have my private little “hideaway” in any weather. Sometimes I drive up to one of the parks also. I def just have to leave tho Bcuz that’s the only way to truly be all alone and the only way to make it be truly out of sight/out of mind...(with zero pressure or responsibilities even if only for a couple of hours or so)....which is also the only way I can go back to it and carry on without being avoidant or surly or overwhelmed with both the cats and the chores and whatever other idiotic drama thing is going on in this neighborhood. (Plus we have issues with stray cats vs raccoons and feeding etc). Glad to be moving away from here and downsizing soon is about all I have to say. Lol.
Fascinating tho Bcuz I’m planning on moving to NC soon myself. 😬 (Right now the burbs of Atlanta, GA).
Im doing the same. Thank u, so inspiring
Oh I love that! Sending so much love your way 🤍🥰
Great video! My daughter walked in and saw you painting your nails and so now we both had to do ours.
Aww that’s so fun!!
For me it's getting lost in a good book with some tea.
I like to journal. Take a walk. . Naps are my best friend.
Love the Scholomance. Deadly Education. Reminded me of Harry Potter mixed w Hunger Games.
I read a good book to decompress or having a bad day.
I’m in a rut also, having been doing well.
My favorites are definitely getting outside and reading :) love this video!
P.s. can you link that cozy cream hoodie? The one linked doesn’t lead to it :(
Unfortunately the hoodie is no longer sold! So I just tried to link to something similar. 🤍
Much needed need to go home and clean up my house.
So glad to hear that! 🤍
💛
Ooo you’re left handed! Me too!
Have you read do less by kate northrup? She talks about the moon calander which you may find interesting...you may already know since you have your moon phases picture in your room...anyways...since you are so organized depending on the moon phase your energy will change and should go up and down depending what the moon is doing....ok love this reset day too! What a beautiful day! Enjoyed so so much
What I need to do when I feel down is read my Bible and journal💕
Love that!! 🥰🤍
You need to keep all of them they look great on u
Oh thank you!!
Fleece/ sherpa lining
You said it’s gloomy in NC this time of year. When is a good time to visit? I’m hoping to road trip there soon :)
Personally, I think April and May are both great times!
👌👌👌
How wonderful and blessed day what God does for you. Ashleyleen eastion.
A long walk, treating my self to a massage, a small creative project
I think that the reason your little plant wasn’t doing well is it didn’t seem to like the terra-cotta. And when you mentioned dryness, terra-cotta absorbs a lot of liquid away from the plants, so they need to be watered more.
I like to know what kinda of ideas for. Bedroom walls
The most important thing you can do is get yourself out of your rut. Your body and soul will appreciate it.
💓💕💓💕😘
Give your stress and deadlines to the Lord. No need to carry it all yourself when he is willing
Let me tell you, there was definitely a good bit of that as I was journaling!! So true. 🤍🥰
@@AshlynneEaton oh and it’s a satin pothos
Sherpa or fleece

It hard to get out of a rut when you see ppl on the internet looking like they have it all.
In Tennessee, it is illegal to share your Netflix password with someone else
Put on some music and dance around!
Oh that’s so fun!!
Yes! That’s has helped a lot too! Dancing and singing changes your atmosphere!
Being human is hard.
I never get sick, but lately I noticed I've been sick a few times. I think I have too much on my plate (stress) and need a mental health day. The only days I got to have a break were the days I was sick. If you don't listen to your body, it will make you listen! Schedule a mental health day!
