Hi everyone!
Finally, another TTM (talking to myself) post! This time I decided to focus on how I try to stay positive even worse case scenarios! This post has been fuelled by the past few months when things have got tough and I've been kicking myself about some things - so I thought this would a lovely post for you all to read especially is you're having a rubbish time at the moment!
Finally, another TTM (talking to myself) post! This time I decided to focus on how I try to stay positive even worse case scenarios! This post has been fuelled by the past few months when things have got tough and I've been kicking myself about some things - so I thought this would a lovely post for you all to read especially is you're having a rubbish time at the moment!
1. Look on the bright side
Even at your worst times, just look on the brighter side of it. In most situations, there will always be a silver lining to the issue (trust me!) When in bad situations, I try to focus on the things around me instead of the issue. For example: I had the worst day the other week (that will be a future post most likely) and whilst I was in a grumpy mood and freezing cold in the rain and wind, I just tried to think of the positive that I can just go straight to bed when I finally got home! I know thats a small problem, but trust me there will always be a small positive from the situation!
2. Ask yourself: is it really much to get upset about?
I'm the worst at this, I always think that the world is going to end if something doesn't go right with my day or something goes wrong. But, I always try to take a step back from the situation and ask myself: is this small problem something to get annoyed about? There are much worse problems in the world and do I really feel like this is one of them? (These are known as FWP's: First World Problems.) If you realise that it isn't that much to worry about, I bet it will go away from your mind quickly! Another thing I like to think about is that if you go asleep feeling annoyed about the situation but the next day it does't bother you, then there's no reason to get upset about something small which doesn't affect your next day!
3. Keep smiling!
Whatever the situation, start the day with a smile. You will feel a tiny bit better about the issue! Also, if you show everyone else that it isn't getting you down too much, they will also feel better about their day too! I feel a whole lot better when I smile as I know that I'm still happy about everything even the problem at hand! The following day will be much better than the last, just remember baby steps!
If you're ever in doubt, listen to this song's lyrics and I promise it will change your view on everything;)

And there we go! I hope you take in some of my advice and use this as a reference to look at if you're having one of your off days! Let me know in the comments what you like to do to try and stay positive throughout the bad times!
