Rise & Shine




http://beautymothernature.tumblr.com/post/128093642139

Every morning we wake up. It is mostly to a beautiful blue sky, the sun gently raising up the horizon and birds tweeting their song. But sometimes we feel forced to. It could be because of our jobs, school or something that needs to be done. Then, there are days we just want to jump out of bed to start our day.

Normally our moods are influenced by what is going to happen or what we expect out of that day. Sometimes, we bring forward the previous day’s events, still mulling over what happened and how sucky it was. Bringing it into our workplace or community and show it to people who had nothing to do with our bad mood.

I’ve had days I just wanted to sleep longer and just not go to work. Not because I hate my job. Fact is, I love what I do. Yet I want to be lazy some days. My solution is, I have a cup of coffee, look out the window and tell myself “It is a beautiful day. I wonder what awaits me today. Let’s find out.”

Of course it doesn’t always work. What is important to me is that I tried. I try to live life one day at a time.  Telling myself that I am going to make the best out of that day and nothing and no one is going stop me. It gets tiring sometimes to constantly be trying but we all try to live the best life we can in our own way. 

I cannot say that this method will work for everyone. Find what gets you out of bed. What lightens your mood and gets you going every morning. Eventually it becomes a habit and you won’t even realise you are doing it and it becomes part of who you are.

So Good Morning everyone! Raise up and go out there and Shine!

Thoughts

Photography by  Aris Yanuar Setianto @ https://www.pinterest.com/ You don't have to control your thoughts, you just have to stop letting them control you - Dan Millman That voice in your head. Constantly telling us what to say, do and think. Constantly running. Never stops. Most of us live in our minds. We all do talk to ourselves whether we recognise it or not. Repeating things over and over, reminding ourselves what we need to do next, sorting out details or running through various types of scenarios that may never even happen. We define that as being prepared or being worried for what may occur. We are always occupied internally unless we are drawn into something external that is more interesting than what's going on in our heads. We get distracted by this external stuff for a bit and then we immediately go right back to where we were before. We think so much that sometimes we  become unaware of our surroundings. Engrossed in whatever is runni

Suppressing emotions

Are we suppressing our emotions?  We do this regularly starting consciously not wanting to hurt another person and later on it becomes an unconscious habit. We keep consoling ourselves "It's ok, they don't mean to hurt me and they are just venting." or "They are just angry and they will realise what they said was wrong." Are we convincing ourselves and giving reasons for why someone can treat us badly? Sometimes we think that we are protecting them. Are we protecting them or enabling them to continue to do what they do to us? If someone else is important, aren't you as important too? The moment someone says something hurting, our minds register it. However, we don't want to believe that they would hurt us. We don't want to believe that they are pushing us away. We don't want to believe they are self-preserving.  Shouldn't we preserve ourselves more? Shouldn't we treat ourselves better? Are we not worth it? Are

Becoming Positive

https://www.therandomvibez.com/positive-thinking-quotes/ This topic is all the rage now. Everyone is talking about it. Blogs, quotes on Instagram and even websites dedicated to inspire people to stay positive. There are various methods to try and different ways of becoming and staying positive.  With so much going on around us and in the world is it even possible to consider positivity? I have asked myself that question many times. When we see positive people, some of us would even wonder if they might be faking it. How is it possible to stay positive all the time? Don't situations or the way people act bug them at all? How do they stay calm and collected and keep smiling? I decided to try it out myself. For starters, I was a negative person. I always saw the worst in every situation and everyone. I thought I had to stay prepared in any situation. I used to get frustrated and angry at people and situations I could not change. What did I do? I started letting
