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!

Changes

http://www.shanemyersphoto.com/mostpopular/e68e78bdd Changes. This is constant. Nothing else is as certain as this. Everything and everyone experiences changes. We all know this and yet we resist. As much as change is consistent, fear of change comes along for the ride. Very recently, I experienced how much changes can affect people on a large scale. We all believe that change is necessary when situations are not exactly ideal. However, mere talk of change can bring about hysteria in a massive scale. Just think about all the social media messages that get passed around when something changes. People start panicking and the next thing you know messages turn into gossip and all the negative 'what ifs' come out to play havoc. "What if this happens? What if that is said?" can also be used rather positively. For example "What if I try this new food and I love it?" or "What if I go out today and meet someone new who might just tu...

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...

One of those days

https://www.pinterest.com/pin/288371182382627385/ Ever had one of those days where you don't feel like talking to anyone and you just want to be left alone? I have and these are the times when people feel the need to talk to you and have meetings and discussions.  You look unusually quiet and everyone wants to know what's wrong. There is nothing wrong. But just the lack of interest or energy to hold a proper conversation or to be your regular self. That does not mean you have fallen into depression. However, if this continues and is on a regular basis, please do talk to someone.  We don't have to be chirpy and positive all the time. There will be up and down days and we have to accept that we do get moody. Just because we project ourselves to be chirpy does not necessarily mean that's how we feel internally all the time. Sometimes we know the reason why, such as an arguement that happened the previous day or something that didn't go as you ex...
