I have noticed these people dwelling on certain events or topics that are bringing them down. When they talk to me and they keep repeating the negative, I just want to say STOP!
They will tell me stories where they will emphasize the negative points and touch very briefly on the things that can be seen as positive.
I can be quite a negative person, but I have been trying hard to focus on the positives and keep myself distracted when I am feeling down.
I like to remind myself how big the world is. How we are only human. On the grand scale of things, how important is it that that girl said something bad to me? Life goes on. Other people in the world aren't effected by such an event happening, why should you hold onto it and let it bring you down?
I have seen an exercise that is supposed to bring you out of a negative slump. Every day, write a list of positive things, of things you are grateful for, in your life.
Things that I am grateful for today:
I am studying and working my way towards my dream job.
I live in a lovely location with my favourite person in the world.
I have freedom- a car that works and the ability to go wherever I want.
I am loved and have support around me.
I am healthy and fit.
Everyone has different things they can be grateful for. I want to say STOP putting a halt on your life by focusing on the negative and START making change, moving towards a more positive outcome.
MY QUESTION FOR YOU!
What do you do to get yourself out of a negative place? and What are some things that you're grateful for today?
Thanks for reading!! Baii!!
