"Are You Okay..?"
"Yup, I'm fine.."
Sounds familiar? How many of us are actually denying the truth that we are not okay at all?
Well, it seems like happened at least one to two times per week.
We felt unpleasant, stressful, mad or anything else but yet when people ask, "Are you Okay?" We most probably will just answer, "Yea, I'm good!"
How often are we actually confess that we are unhappy at all?
We tried to cover up our moody face and show the public with "happy face" just like the one of the China talent show "Face changing".
It's not we dishonest to ourselves or to our friends, family.. It's just sometimes we don't even know WHY AM I FELT SO MAD.. OR ! We just don't want to say it out.
So we answered, "Yes, I'm doing good."
Have you encountered this situation before? I'm pretty sure you have! And this situation would just ruins up your day. Do you agree it? Well, at least when I'm getting emotional struggling, I would really feel it ruin my day!
So...! How we gonna to settle it? How to cheer up our own?
~ Don't ever expect your family, your boyfriend/girlfriend, your best friend, your xxx will cheer you up as you wish, because they don't have the responsibility to do so! If they did, you are really blessed and they really love you. If they didn't, don't be upset, it doesn't mean that they don't love you just maybe they do not know you are in depressing or they felt the same way as yours. ~
By this time, we had to cheer up our own! So how do we do that?
First thing, you have to tell yourself it is not a bad day as you thought, don't let the negativeness drag you in the trough and your day gonna be like .. so black so down ...
YES, YOU HAVE TO BRAIN WASH YOURSELF.
How to brain washing yourself?
As a Christian, I would like to say pray it. Read bible everyday(although I didn't >,<) And definitely you will get the wisdom to control back your emotion and "brain wash" yourself :P
As for public, read the positive article and those kind incentive text to charged yourself up!
Keep remind yourself, Don't let the negative overcome the positive. Remember, don't blame the shoes are not pretty enough because there is some people who don't even own the legs!
Do you get what I mean here? I hope you did!
Secondly, do something that you will feel happy! Don't get me wrong, is not asking you to drunk yourself or partying all the night! Don't try to hocus yourself. You could sing, dancing, exercising, cooking, watching TV, chit-chatting, reading or do whatever is good to you and you want to do to distract the bad mood. At least for me, singing is the best way to distract it! Just love the music and enjoyed singing, especially when singing the worship songs, it makes me feel great!
So what is yours? Welcome to share with me here!
Is important to find a thing that could make you feel enjoyed!
Thirdly, FOCUSING! After you found what activities would make yourself enjoy and happy, is important too to make yourself focusing on them! Try to think, if you are singing, but is only the voice singing not the soul, WHAT FOR YOU SINGING DUDE? No point at all. We may change an example too, try to not focus when you are cooking, let me know what will happen! :P ... Ehrmmm.. It might unappetizing or maybe scorch!
So, is important to focus on what you do and you will find out actually the bad things or bad thought are slowly go away.
Do you feel now the day look brighter? Do you feel the positiveness are coming to you now? Thanks God if you do! But, what if you don't? Still feeling like so miserable? As a Christian, you must look for God, believe me its works! Talk to Him, share to Him your problem. Is fine to cry out, God won't scold you but will comfort your soul will take away your problem. Remember, nothing is bigger than our God.
Is not to purposely sharing the gospel here or having some extreme view of the religion. Don't misunderstood me :D
I just believe that, there might some Christian read this article and this is the best way to share with them.
As for non Christian, as long as you believe in Jesus, you are welcome to pray to Jesus anytime! OR.. You have no idea at all with all of this thing, no worries, do not feel offend too!
You just need someone to talk with, maybe just a stranger? A friend? Mum? Dad? Anyone! or Yourself. After you sharing it out, it just like you releasing the problem out to somewhere else.
At least, you will feel better than just now.
Remember always, NEGATIVE drag us down, POSITIVE lead us up.
Don't let "EMO" controlled you, but YOU ARE THE ONE WHO CONTROL OF YOUR OWN MOOD.
Is easy to be upset because we are sinner. From the first day we came to this world, the first thing we learned is CRY. (OS: Is just to make sure we are alive, aren't it?!..*Just kidding, let's continue..)
And we learned how to smile, how to laugh after that, and we learn it until the end of our day.
Life is short. In Chinese there is a phase, "人生有多少个十年？"
Meaning that how many several ten of years do we have? 5?6?7?8?
Life is short, make it fruitful and no regrets!
What a waste if you wasting your time on being "EMO"?
Don't you want that !?
NONONO .. DEFINITELY NO!
LET'S LEARN TO BE OPTIMISTIC!
