Slump? What slump? Life is too short for slumps! Chocolate is great and there’s no use of beating yourself up when you have a “this too shall pass” attitude! Play with your child and if you don’t one, borrow one–it can’t get any better seeing life through their eyes!

Aloha Genie–Hear hear! You’ve got my vote! Hugs, Mia

Thanks for the fun contest! To get out of a slump I usually try to visit a new museum, historical site, park, garden, see a new play, basically do something different to shake things up. I’ll also retweet the contest info.

Hi Aimee–I like your process of trying something new/shaking things up! And thanks for tweeting the contests! Hugs, Mia

When I am in a slump, (recently had a serious stress related one) I try to spend time with friends and read books, which makes calms me and comforts me.
Your books look so nice! love the covers!
Hope to read and review them someday

I am afraid that chocolate is what I always go for, even knowing that it is not really going to help my mood. The only other thing is to go for a brisk walk, but I don’t usually feel like that when I am moody so I have to force myself out and about.

Hi Jemima! I am so much the same way — a walk or fresh air might help, but when you’re feeling low it’s the last thing you want to do! Chocolate helps, as does time and a little perspective, and if you can do everything (walk, chocolate, time, perspective), I think that’s a pretty healthy balance! Here’s to lots of walks and lots of chocolate! Hugs, Mia

When I am in a slump I hug my kids, get a good book and take a nice warm bubble bath. Then, I get in my cozy bed and watch a chick flick on TV!!

Hi Shannon! You know, watching movies, especially romantic comedies, has really been a boon to me lately! I think a good laugh is the best way to shift your mood instantly. I just saw He’s Just Not That Into You and couldn’t stop laughing for the rest of the night! Hugs, Mia

Hi Mia,
When I’m in a slump there is a lot of ice cream with whipped cream, sprinkles, and chocolate syrup. Come to think of it…my pants are a little snug. I’m slumping too.
Thanks for the giveaway!
