Now I type this title “HOW TO STAY POSITIVE?” in my best buddy’s GOOGLE page and I got some 2,74,00,000 answers - wooooo ; so I guess apart from me there are
many else who can tell how to stay positive or the other way round there are
many who are in search of answers for this question.
I read a few of those and they were too technical –
identify a possible cause; keep a journal; analyze the cause AND I clicked the
back button. Like the way time flies, I wanted some sure shot and quick
techniques.
When I feel low, I desperately sense the urge to transform
my mood and that too by doing something that will refresh me instantly; I guess
no one at that point of time when they really feel too low, takes the technical
way to stay positive. Those techniques straightway jump to the to-do list for
the future for further analysis.
But exactly, if we think on it for a while; we all
know answers for both the categories – technical and practical but applying the
right technique at right time is the root cause of this whole mess.
So, what exactly we can do to stay positive:
1. Eat something which you really love like Ice cream – it’s the
ultimate comfort food unless you are watching your weight. Or pani-puri or some
kebab; you of course have a whole world to make a choice from;
2. Listen to your favorite songs; could be the loud one
listening to which you feel and imagine that you are taking revenge from the
villain of your life; or some soft pace song which can give you peace of mind
and heart;
3. Dance: you could be a pathetic dancer but how does it matter,
you dance for yourself and not for anyone else. Play the tune and dance however
you want as if no one is watching; nothing else but watching yourself dance
like a ………… will give you a great laugh; (this blank you can fill up depending
on your own credibility :-) )
4. Watch Tom and Jerry of course in you tube; its readily
available after all;
5. Just go out and shop; you definitely will be having some item
in the back of your mind that you have been planning from long to buy but did
not get a chance yet;
6. Treat yourself by spending some time all alone doing what you
want: read a book, give your feet some
rest by taking a foot bath, head massage etc. You don’t have to go to a
parlour, you can do all this by yourself;
7. Remember your childhood; see your mark sheets, albums;
remembering those good old days will take you to a different world at least for
a few minutes and you will realize that life had not been so bad always.
There are many ways to keep
yourself in high spirits, it’s just that you have to know which one you want to
pick. Always we have to remember one thing that the life we all live is much better
than those of many else. So there is no point in cribbing about your problems,
thinking too much about the issues and concerns and thus unnecessarily
complicating the life.
Just chill, everything is fine or if it is not fine, it
will be fine. Good or bad, time will pass and one has to move on; you can
neither hold on the good things or bad things.
Thoda hass lo, muskura lo, jee lo…. Zindagi itni bhi buri
nahi . :-) :-) :-)
