Hi friend,
I was to write to you last weekend but something terrible happened. Something that I’ll maybe talk about in a book I write when I am in my forties. But until then, I’m going to work on the knots I feel in my stomach.
My coach and I did a meditation earlier this week where you notice if the problem has manifested in your body and work on releasing it.
It felt better.
I’m now feeling
grateful for the universe to teach me a lesson
have trust that everything happens for a reason
While this may entirely be untrue, it still helps you feel better in the present at least.
Isn’t that what most of us do? Leave it to God or whatever higher power you believe in so you can continue having faith in whatever you have faith in, and look at the bright side of things.
Realists disagree with this.
But I’d rather be an optimist because it’s almost always helped me push through when things look difficult and look at the brighter side even in darkness. It’s helped my mental state be a + instead of - and I think nothing good ever comes in the life of a negative person.
That doesn’t mean you’re trying too hard to see good things and never see the bad.
See the bad.
Take a note of it, label it. Or maybe don’t label it.
And then move on with life instead of dwelling on it.
This is another practice that makes my mental health better, to not force yourself to see the positive because some things or events are just not. But to have the ability to accept that and move on.
Try this out, and tell me how it goes.

I enjoy watching these videos, so made one too hehe:
What I Wrote This Week
See you soon!

Being optimistic will uplift rather than dwelling into the things are out of our control.
Focusing on what's in our control is a powerful way to approach bad times.
