After a couple incidents today, I began to feel very unmotivated, frustrated, a bit depressed and well, to summons it up, lets just say I was feeling like shit.
Often when I'm feeling this way, I'll do one of 10 things... Today, I chose to organize my desk area and have a coke while watching Awkward. It definitely helped, but I'm still feeling a bit down, which calls for some outdoor fun like heading to the beach or going on a hike. Best pick me up, other than great sex of course ;)
Hope everyone is having a great weekend; If not, make sure you try to get out and get some sun and fresh air, take a good nap, do a little writing or do whatever makes you happy. But never sit there and marinate on rotten thoughts and feelings. You will only feel worse at the end of the day.
What are some of the things you guys do to feel better on those rotten days? I'd love to know.
For now, I'll leave you with some quotes and a few of my photos of some of my outings... My kind of Xanax.
Enjoy!
I'll begin with a VERY important one:
"Love is the absence of judgment."
― 14th Dalai Lama
"Ignore those that make you fearful and sad, that degrade you back towards disease and death."
― Rumi
"You have power over your mind - not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength."
― Marcus Aurelius, Meditations
"You can't wait for inspiration. You have to go after it with a club."
― Jack London
"People take different roads seeking fulfillment and happiness. Just because they’re not on your road doesn't mean they've gotten lost."
― 14th Dalai Lama
"You need to learn how to select your thoughts just the same way you select your clothes every day. This is a power you can cultivate. If you want to control things in your life so bad, work on the mind. That's the only thing you should be trying to control."
― Elizabeth Gilbert, Eat, Pray, Love
“What we call our destiny is truly our character and that character can be altered. The knowledge that we are responsible for our actions and attitudes does not need to be discouraging, because it also means that we are free to change this destiny. One is not in bondage to the past, which has shaped our feelings, to race, inheritance, background. All this can be altered if we have the courage to examine how it formed us. We can alter the chemistry provided we have the courage to dissect the elements.”
― Anaïs Nin, The Diary of Anaïs Nin, Vol. 1: 1931-1934
"Formal education will make you a living; self-education will make you a fortune."
― Jim Rohn
"It’s not what you say out of your mouth that determines your life, it’s what you whisper to yourself that has the most power!"
― Robert T. Kiosaki
"Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever."
― Mahatma Gandhi
"It is never too late to be what you might have been."
― George Eliot
“Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.”
― Winston Churchill
“All suffering is caused by ignorance. People inflict pain on others in the selfish pursuit of their own happiness or satisfaction”
― 14th Dalai Lama
