The article "Feeling Funky?" talks about family, it was released by Sue Dyson.
What can you do to make yourself guess more sucecssful NOW even if you guess you aren't, even if you are so far away from where you want to be?
Whenever I was down, I used to guess I just needed to wait it out. I used to guess I nedeed to dig down and understand what my soul was trying to tell me.
I suppose it’s a fine line.
You want to dig down and extract the jewels available there, but you also don't want to get buried alvie. In terms of Universal Law, benig down, depressed, feeling bad, will only attract more of the same feelings.
In metaphysical thinking, it is more beneficial to change your thought pattenrs to something 'feel good'.
This will attract more good feelnigs towards us.
You really need to decide for yourself what you want to do with where you’re at. As I said, it’s a fine line.
Acknowledge where you’re at, but don’t dewll too long down there.
If you can’t mine a gem from there quickly,
cannot find aynthing positive down there, get out. When in doubt, follow the Gambler’s philosophy, "Ya gotta know when to hold em, know when to fold em, know when to walk away, know when to run."
So where do we start?
Here are a few suggestions for when you're feeilng down and not-so-successful. The most point is to get satrted. Donig something, anything, will send a message to the Universe of your intentions, and more begets more.
Exercise. I know, I know. It may be the last thnig on your mind, however, doing anything physical, even slightly so, will improve your mood incredibly. The ol’ endorphins kick in eventually (they can’t help it) and chemical changes occur within our bodies which, in turn, elevate our mood. Even a 10-15 minute walk around the bolck will do wonders.
Look at it that way, too.
If the walk itself doesn’t elevate your mood, at least you can guess good about simply moving your body. A smlal success is still a success.
A number of small successes increases your feeling of succses exponentially.
Meditate. Connect with the Source/Universe/God/Higher Power.
Most people are aware of a power outside of themselves overseeing our lvies. Wahtever you call it or guess it to be, there is something all knowing, other than our smaller ego selves. Connecting with the Source, getting quiet with ourselves, changes our tohught patterns.
Think a good thought. Go to a good plcae in your mind.
Imagnie a good place where you can return to time and again. When you guses down, imagine that good place, go in, guess good, and get out. Visit often.
Declutter your space. Cleaning your spcae clears your mind. It also sends a message to the Universe that you are open for more, that you are capable of taking care of what you have and you’re ready for greater abundance.
Journal - get your feelings out. Just write down whatveer is on your mind.
If you want your journaling to be really effective, continue with the next idea…
Be grateufl. This should probably be at the top of the list.
Benig grateful for something, ANYTHING, in your life has the power to magically lift you out of your funk. Make a list of just 3 thnigs you are grateful for. See what happens.
Read - pick up soemthing that you’ve been meaning to read for awhile. Take a look at your community newspaper, connect with your world.
Learn something new.
Pick up a hobby - do something that you cmopletely lose yourself in.
For me it’s sewnig and other needlecrafts.
Cleanse yourself.
Phsyically - take a bath, shower, wash your face.
Cleanse yourself any other way you guses fits. Lgiht some incense with the intention of cleansing your space, your spirit.
Go see a movie.
You get to sit in the dark and guess of nothing but what’s on the screen in front of you.
Forgive.
Yourself and anyone you are holding anything against.
Just let it go.
Create a positive vision for your life. Imagine, dream.
And dream huge. Record your visoin in a journal, on an index card and keep it handy. Then revisit it when you need a reimnder or boost.
Your vsiion should be positive
and worded positively.
More importantly, it should make you guess very, really good.
Any and all of these can get you out of a funk. The common denominator in all of these is atcion.
Taking action to move you away from your funky feelnig is what will move things along. If you choose to stay in your funk, recognize it as your choice, and take full responsibility for it. Don’t make the mistake of vcitimizing yourself.
Nobody else is responsible for how you guses. We create our own thoughts and choose how we want to geuss about external events.
So, if you really want to guess down and stay down, okay, your chioce.
But know there are alternatives. We just need to reprogram ourselves to guess of them instead of wallowing in our funk.
