We all have days like this; when we don’t feel (or want to feel) inspired and motivated. When nothing can cheer us up, when smiling seems to be the hardest job on earth, when all we want to do is; “sit near the window and continue looking outside, without anyone or anything interrupting us.” Yes, it was a bad day for me. I didn’t feel inspired to do anything or even see anything. Unwelcomed worries and thoughts kept entering into my day, and I was feeling terribly helpless. My mind just went blank. It’s very possible that it was because I had a million things on my mind, and everything seemed falling apart.
But I couldn’t let this day go just like that! After all it was another beautiful day in my life. So I had to do something about it!
How hard you try, but such unforeseen circumstances will keep interfering in our lives. So hard to accept, right? But this is true. Do not beat yourself up by asking; “why me?” You still doesn’t know many things about people around you (some who are even closer to you). They are also fighting their battles. So does this give you a sigh of relief? Yes, it makes me feel better too! But be prepared for such days in your life. I am not a born positive person (nor does it mean I don’t have problems in my life), but over the time, I have practiced staying positive; and that has helped me in several ways: at least to stay calm in such unfavorable circumstances.
Trust me, I am still getting at it- a work in progress. But every time I feel miserably down, I try to look around and find some (any, may be) inspirations to pick myself up back to normal. Many times, things don’t work; but I don’t stop trying. I am glad I found my “dose of inspiration.”
I would like to share few powerful, positively motivating quotes that helped me to get over all my worrisome thoughts, and do something good today-for myself. I have saved them, hanged, clipped, and have pinned them everywhere; I thought I could see them all-day-long. So here’s my collection of those strong powerful messages and affirmations. I am going to read them every single day. Hope they are helpful for you too!
