Just a quick one this week to help you out with the days when things feels like you need to give up an d let go of living the life you were created for, to enjoy and be the best of all.
I sure do hope you'll find something out here to help you become happier than the problems of life and living.
Whenever you have a bad day for whatever reason, what you need to do is think. Think hard, but not about the misery or the misfortune that has hit you.
You may be of the opinion, of course, the unfortunate events or experiences of the day are going to haunt you, put you under depression and mental stress, drain your emotions of their usual energy, kill your enthusiasm for life and spoil everything that you hold dear in life. In short, your negative thoughts may make your bad day seem worse than it actually is. Undoubtedly, that will be the case if you surrender yourself to the consequences, not otherwise. If you take control, you can devise ways and means of beating the bad day
blues.
Since negative thoughts and emotions tend to overwhelm you on a bad day, you must think of strategies that thwart them. Turn to vigorous physical work out. Or, take a long walk or go swimming. Or, just get out into the open and sit somewhere and observe the plants and trees and flowers or the sunset, if it is sunset time. Read a pleasurable book, watch a funny movie or do something that distances you from the bad day situation, preferably both physically and, more importantly, mentally.
The good times past
Remember the good ol’ days that enriched your life in the past, all the happy experiences that elevated your spirits and all those special friends and relatives who brought cheer and laughter into your life. Think of the good things of your life and be grateful for the blessings bestowed on you. Put against the bright light of your appreciation of all those better days, this single bad day or a small bunch of bad days will pale into insignificance.
Do not wallow in your bad moods and emotions because that is a sure way of plunging deeper into sorrow. A bad day will not become a good day by stewing over it. Remember that a bad day is just one passing day. It might have left a few scars on your mind and body but is important to remember that the pain is temporary. Time is a great healer. Today, just ignore the negative aspects of the day. Instead, look at the positive side of the bad event or happening that spoiled your day. Are there any lessons in it for your future?
How can you avoid getting into the same or similar situation?
This does not mean that you start thinking about your purpose in life, your personal relationships, your career graph or your future on a bad day. The day is not suitable for taking any major decisions about your future life, because such decisions cannot be sound, given the dark background. Put off taking important decisions till a better day when you regain your mental poise and composure.
One simple formula that will help you on your bad day lies in the fact that your sorrows get divided and your pleasures get multiplied when you share them with your close friends or confidantes. You may try to overcome your bad day by discussing your problems with your close friends.
Any or all of these easy-to-adopt measures will be helpful in providing relief to you on a bad day.
CHOOSE TO LOVE
I have been hurt and pained
But we al choose that wanting
I have been beating and slay
But I chose to love again
I have died to my past
Awaken am I to my future
Hurt and pain can’t really last
Our choice makes joy in the fronting
Life will teach o learn lessons
But men will choose that to learn
How often men cry for treason
But the truth is in us all
Our choices changes the minds burden
To love to hate either one recoil
Though we hold power for future frozen
Choose the best to live alive

ACTION AND WORDS
They say action speaks loudest
But sometimes that unnoticed speaks
They say seeing is believing
But that unseen too really breaks
Men and their mean idle threats
That said most never portrayed
Like hiding in darkness for cover
That done is never that prayed
In love the heart calls true
In life many things are amiss
We see only that we want seen
After everything we cry amiss
In separation many things helps
In understanding and trust love’s built
Life will always teach its lessons
Men will and may not suite
