Hey guys,
Today was another busy day and as much as I sometimes stress about posting everyday, I’m actually quite glad that I made myself commit to this so that everyday, I will have 15-30 mins of sitting down to reflect and write.
Today, I was looking for a quote to include, and I went back to one of my oldest highlights. And as I was scrolling through, I saw this and I knew that this had to be the one.
I’ve spoken about this before but I’ll say it again. Life is not a bed of roses. People will try to hurt you in ways you never thought was possible. But ultimately, what matters is how you react to it.
I don’t know if you know this song, but it always starts playing in my head whenever I talk about this. ‘So don’t you worry your pretty little mind,/ People throw rocks at things that shine’
Yes, it’s Ours by Taylor Swift and I know that this is not what the song is about but these 2 lines in particular just jump out at me every single time I’m on this topic.
I’ve been working on this quite a fair bit this year actually, trying to see the good in every day. For a while, that was the quote on my bio- Everyday may not be good but there is something good in every day. And I’m trying to make myself actively look out for that by making myself write down one thing I’m grateful for everyday, no matter how bad my day is.
It can be the little things, like being grateful for a good talk with a friend, grateful for a good sleep, anything. The point is just to make yourself think about what went well that day and sort of shift the focus away from the bad stuff. If you wanna, you can also be grateful about the bad things because that’s how you grow.
And when I’m feeling really down, I just go back and read through the different things I was grateful for a couple of weeks or months ago, and that makes me feel better almost all the time.
So perhaps if you feel that it’s time for you to challenge yourself to see things in a more positive light, join me on this journey! It’s easy to lapse for days on end when you first begin, but don’t stress about it. Just continue trying to keep up and one day, it will become a habit. The 21 day theory didn’t work for me but it might for you!!
Also, if you wanna talk about how this chicken is just enjoying life (check out the Insta post haha!), my DMs are open man ahahah
