things that motivate me when I feel down.
- knowing that I am not perfect and that I can always try again when I mess up. Knowing that all setbacks are actually a way to gain more wisdom instead of looking at it as a failure.
- watching funny videos from SNL even if I am not laughing at first but I will be laughing soon lol.
- listening to upbeat music and somehow I always see myself dancing lol I mean we all tend to listen to sad songs when we're already sad and it's almost impossible to force ourselves not to do it but trust me upbeat music will help to lighten up your mood.
- shopping. okay, this is tricky because I either go on a shopping spree while I am sad about some dumb little thing and I get home to find a real reason to be sad because I just spent all my money on some ridiculous stuff. I am not proud of it someone please hide my wallet while I'm sad. (exasperation emoji inserted)
- I read things that I have already written for this specific time, things like:" a heartbreak well read this" "financial crisis well read this." "lost a friend well read this." " feeling betrayed well read this" and the list goes on. Yeah, I am made from a different cloth so what?
truth is I only allow myself to be sad for a few days... one week is the longest time I give myself. If I cannot solve the situation well I have no choice but to let it go. My happiness is more important. yeah I may look devastated like life is over or that I am about to end my life but I'm not; I'll be fine The God that I serve always keeps me happy even through the darkest time he is my rock.
