Unhappiness

Good Morning!



My blog post today is something that I have been experiencing recently.  I have had this overwhelming sense of negativity come into my life. 

For whatever reason it has happened, this spiral of thoughts has been keeping me in a stressful state that I know is temporary, but it is still tough to experience.

The thing is, everyone goes through stages where they feel either stuck or overwhelmed.  Heck, I go through these rollercoasters bi-weekly.  However, learning to recognize and understand what is going through your head is essential to raising yourself up from the depths of negativity and back into the positivity.

So, I have compiled three steps you can do if you are feeling stuck in a negativity rut!

Let's start with one, shall we? :)

1.  Recognize.  Take a look at what exactly it is that you are feeling.  What kind of negative emotions are you experiencing?  Is it anger, hurt, anxiety, stress?  Pin point where your emotions are going, and recognize that they are there, and that it is okay to be feeling them!

2.  Embrace.  Embrace the thoughts, let them be.  Just like The Beatles advised.  LET IT BE.  I guarantee after a small amount of time, you will start to clear your head, and begin to focus on smaller positive thoughts.

3.  Move Forward.  This is my favorite step!  Move forward with these smaller positive thoughts.  Once you have recognized and embraced, move forward to the larger positive thoughts.  Move from feeling anxious to feeling slightly more calm.  From anger to contentment.  Whatever thoughts get you there, do them!  I promise, you will start to feel so good.

Here are some of my favorite things to do when I am feeling down:

Read a good book
Take a walk
Listen to the birds
Appreciate a flower
Listen to my favorite songs
Watch a movie
Watch funny youtube videos
Call a friend
Eat peanut butter!

You deserve to feel amazing every day, Enjoy!
