Worry. It’s not something we choose. It’s something that creeps in, sometimes unnoticed until it has sunk its claws into us. It’s like this cloud that follows us through life. But instead of showering us with rain it slowly suffocates us. Worry is no small thing, it is one of life’s greatest problems. And it’s one we all suffer.
We all want to live a life of purpose. But, we hesitate when someone says to ‘follow your heart’. Why is that? Is the calling of our hearts too pie in the sky for us? Is it the little voice of self-doubt that’s whispering to us that it’ll never happen? And, why do we get conflicting messages from the world? In one breathe you can get ‘you can do anything!’ mixed in with ‘don’t be ridiculous, get a real job’. How do we follow our heart through this life with such resistance! How do we learn to trust our own inner voice, our own inner guidance system?
Obviously, there is no one size fits all answer to the question of how to stay positive in a negative world, but there are many ways we can help ourselves through some of life’s toughest moments. Sometimes we need to look at what makes life easier when it feels like those grey clouds are there to stay. We need a gentle reminder that the sun will rise tomorrow. That the dark clouds will pass. That even the difficult days don’t last forever. Here are some ways to stay positive in a negative world.
When you first set out on your self improvement journey it can feel like there is so much advice and tools to help you that you simply don’t know where to start. To me there is a clear winner and that is journaling. I believe in the incredible power of journaling to change our mindset, our point of view and our sense of self. That’s a big statement, I know, but I really believe it. I have used the power of journaling my thoughts since I was a teenager and it has the ability to help you get to the bottom of anything you may be going through in life.
There isn’t a person on this earth that is happy every moment of every day. I’m starting with this because I want you to know that even when you feel alone in your emotions there is always, right now in this moment, someone else who is feeling the same way that you are. While that might not make you feel better in and of itself, I hope it helps you see that you are not alone. And the fact that you are here reading this means you are ready to find a way out of the sadness. This is the first step. You are one step closer.
