Sometimes things happen that can't be helped, and we just feel awful. Sometimes, the last thing I want (or need) is for some busy- body-do-gooder telling me I need to cheer up!
Sometimes I don't want to cheer up! Have you ever felt this way?
I suppose some of the posts in this blog are blowing sunshine up your butt, but I've tried giving practical ways of thinking about yourself and how you relate to the world.
I don't want to tell you that you'll never feel dissappoi9ntment, sadness, or any number of negative emotions. No one can say that. The thing that matters is your reaction to those emotions.
I choose to take walks, work out with my martial arts staff, and play music. Some people swim, some write poetry, and others choose to confide in close friends.
Think about your choices in times of frustration or sorrow. Are your choices helpful?
Consider that choosing to stay in bed; avoiding everyone and everything, is a choice itself.
Is your choice a positive one? Are your choices helping you come to terms with your negative emotions? If not, maybe you should speak to someone who can show you how it's done.
I am not an expert. I just want to help troubled people realize how empowered they can become. You don't have to be a victim. You can overcome your adversity.
If you fall into the category of people who has thought of hurting yourself; if you are someone who has attempted suicide and things have continued to spiral out of control, don't go to people who only make things worse by blowing sunshine up your butt. Call a hotline and get in touch with REAL listeners.
Remember, in order to get things out of life you never had before, you'll have to do things in life you never did before.
Make a call. The numbers are on the right hand side of this web page.
