Positive vibes
A lot of people comment on how I don't show negative emotion, and ask what my secret is.
My secret? There is no secret, and its simple really. Its all in the way you perceive what is in front of you. The way you feel and how you act can have a major impact on how your day turns out. I'm not afraid of the future and I'm not afraid of failure. What I do today, helps me become who I will be tomorrow. Every experience, every little miracle or obstacle helps shape me to be the best possible person that I can be. I am not saying I don't have bad days - I do. I just take from those bad and learn and grow and that's what makes me happy - growing mentally physically and spiritually.
I have great people in my corner and some not so great. Those who are always there and those who are there when it benefits them - that's fine. They are doing the same thing as you - living and doing what makes them happy.
I ask you now, do you find yourself constantly battling stressed feelings or unhappy thoughts? Ask yourself why and find a road that will deter you away from that negative energy. Most of the time we continue feeling as we do without reflecting on why we feel the way we do, and from there it becomes a continual cycle of more stresses. Your stresses and set backs can become a view for opportunity to be challenged and motivated. If you find you are in a situation you wish to not be in and that is what is setting you back, my advice to you is change the scenario.

Here are some of my tips for you to help through those unwanted nasty days or weeks.
1. If someone close to you hurts your feelings - let them know - don't be mean about just have a rational conversation about things that bother you. Don't necessarily write people off right away either. We all have good traits and bad traits. They make us who we are, but how can change be expected if that person that has hurt you doesn't realize what they are doing?
2. For one week write everything down that gives you hesitation, stress,makes you upset and so on. By the end of the week take a look at what bothered you and examine it. You may notice that there are patterns occurring. Sometimes we go on autopilot to get through whatever it is we need to during the week, and thats OK. However sometimes when that happens we lose our focus and become uneasy, or upset at small things.How can we change our perspective? Attitude
Sure, I dislike having to wait for people to contact me back when I've emailed them about business related aspects, and sometimes it may feel like they take forever to respond. However, I am doing what will ultimately make me happy in the future. During that time, I am grateful that I have been able to start my own business with the education that I have and went to school for.
2. I try not to complain. I saw a post on instagram and it enlightened me. It was a post challenging you to not complain for one full day. Is it difficult? Absolutely, but its doable. It is all in the perspective. Its surprising how much we complain about things, even when we don't mean to.
"Exercising daily is hard work"
- I am now one step closer to getting to my ideal weight, fuelling my body with energy while feeling and looking my best
" I hate how cold it is"
- I have running warm water, big blankets ( lovely duvet), and other means to keep warm, not a lot of people have what I have, so I am thankful more than disappointed or agitated.
3. Write what you are grateful for and what makes you happy. Big or small. Write it. You don't have to do this everyday, if you want, just write when something happens that put a smile on your face. Make a book of them to reflect on when you start to feel stressed about life not going where you want it to go, or when you feel like your day can't get any worse. This will be your pick me up.
I'm currently sitting here thinking about what I am grateful for; My family, the copious amount of supportive and wonderful people in my life, my yoga classes and being able to go to the gym whenever possible.
I've seen those close to me struggle through pain, torture and and triumph! Climb to the top after every battle that was given and stand at the top of that proverbial mountain. That too is my inspiration. What I need to look at to reflect on my bad days to turn them into positive, to motivate me to work harder and to push me along on my bad days.

Like everyone else, I too get my bad days and though they may not work for everyone, these help me get over unwanted feelings almost instantly. When you find yourself feeling down, ask what can be changed to make yourself happier, accomplished and find what can help you become dedicated to something great.
I'm not saying life is easy and won't suck from time to time and I do take into consideration that there are aspects we cannot run away from. Life can be scary or it can be rewarding it's how you choose to view it and what you choose to do with what's given to you Most importantly never give up. Everything you do leads you somewhere. Are we allowed to have bad days? Absolutely, thats what good nights with great friends are for.
