Last summer was filled with disappointment for me and I found myself constantly feeling low. I had just broken up with my boyfriend of almost two years, and life overall just seemed to be taunting me at every turn. I didn’t want to vent to friends like I normally would to feel better, but I knew I had to find a way to end my somber mood as quickly as possible.
Then it hit me. I had an untouched journal sitting on my desk. It was a birthday gift I had received from my mom years before. Opening the journal for just the third time in two years, I took a second to re-read the inside cover.
My mom had written a message telling me to bring some words to life, and so I did. I soon realized that journaling instantly made me feel better. I could share my most intimate thoughts and not have to worry about being judged or questioned. It was my pick-me-upper.
We all have those moments when we’re feeling down. Whether it be your boss overlooking you, your car breaking down or your significant other giving you a hard time, life always seems to have a funny way of making us feel crappy.
It is especially easy during this time to completely give up on the situation or to soak in the negative energy. That energy then consumes us and can make us forget about the power we have. We have the ability to overcome our bad moods. Remind yourself of this every time you find yourself slipping into an unwanted mood. Once that is accomplished, take some time to breathe, laugh and relax.
