For the past few days I have refrained myself from writing on my blog in fear of writing something that wouldn’t be true to myself. The past week has been a range of emotions, and I didn’t really know how to deal with them. I was frightened, terrified even that whatever I would write wouldn’t make myself or others feel better. I feel like I prayed and prayed every chance I got to be calm enough to write, but it just never came. Eventually though it did come and I was able to live my life again and write a blog entry.
Everyone has faced a traumatic time on his or her life when they feel like his or her world might end. But if you asked the person now how they got through something so traumatic people’s answers vary. For myself personally, I find the only way I can get through something personal is to pray and be positive. People think it’s crazy that I try to be positive because they think I should be able to let myself feel how I truly am feeling.
The thing is I do let myself feel how I truly feel for a certain period of time, but there comes a point where I just don’t want to be negative all the time. Instead, I force myself to be positive. How does this help you though? Well, studies have shown that when you are sad and fake a smile that eventually you will start to feel happy because you are smiling. It’s the same thing for being positive.
Forcing yourself to think positive thoughts or say positive things helps so much. When you force yourself to believe in positive things, you will eventually start to feel positive yourself. Push away the negative out of your life. It’s time for you live and focus on what matters. You only get one life. You only get one life to live. So make it matter!
It’s ok to cry and ok to miss someone. It’s ok to feel however you want to feel. But if you waste too much time of your life moping around instead of living, your wasting time. WAKE UP AND SMELL THE ROSES. Do things that make you happy. Write lists of what’s great about you. Surround yourself with people that love you!!
I know it’s hard, but when you force yourself to be positive you will start to feel positive. We don’t have time for negativity. We only have time to live once.
There is always hope in the darkness.
With love and hope,
