Instinct is everything. Overanalyzing is a sickness. Worry is wasteful. Even the happiest of people get a little bit down sometimes. But their secret? get over it , go on. I found myself ANGRY last week for the first time in months. It was an old familiar feeling that I did NOT like. It was strange how I remembered feeling like this in the past but never noticed it so strong. It had become a regular part of my life to be angry and violent. It was so normal I barely noticed it. This was honestly an eye opening experience for me, it was almost scary because the emotions were so strong. Once we can go without something for a period of time it becomes unfamiliar to us. This is a great thing to become unfamiliar with so I took my anger as a positive thing in a sense, it happened to let me realize how good I felt without it. As I said earlier the key was to get over it and go on. I realized that just wasn't me anymore and I needed to clear my mind and find out how to better the situation and clear it up before making it worse than it needed to be.
I also found myself feeling a little depressed which was also an old yet familiar feeling. But the difference this time was that I could feel me letting myself get that way. I knew I had to do something. It is such a slump once you get into it, and its a definite struggle getting back out. I tried several different things, changing my attitude, showing gratitude, out of sight out of mind, and focusing on the good things in my life. However, the past couple days it just kept finding a way to sneak back into my psychie. Finally I decided I was going to TAKE CONTROL. The answer for me was solitude. After a long walk, taking in the weather and thinking to myself, I starting feeling more and more motivated. I took this motivation to the studio where I did the workout I should be doing more often. Exercise was the answer to my problems, but for some reason I just didn't feel like going home or being with anyone else. Having this feeling but also no direction as to where I wanted to go or what I wanted to do I decided to take a drive out to the lake with no one but my ipod. This was such an amazing thing for me, I drove with no place to be and no one to meet. This was a new highly appreciated feeling that I will be incorporating into my life more often!
I am out of my slump and actually feel back to my old self. As I drove I thought of all of the GREAT people, friends and things I have in my life. WOW! I really do have it all. Thanks to all of you that help me be who I am everyday!
