Smile and Get The Negative Thoughts Out!

You generally attract what you think about. Since you can’t control and manage all the thoughts that come in and out of your brain, you need a simpler way of getting negative ideas out. Look at your emotions. Ask yourself, how are you feeling today?

If you aren’t feeling good, your internal alarm bells should already be ringing. You need to get out of the negative emotions. How?

Some suggested methods to feel good right now:

  • Think about how you are feeling. Focus on the feeling itself. Then SMILE for one minute. Hey, you might look like fool - that’s the idea. Laugh at yourself if you must (but do it in secret). The point is, the sooner you can laugh about it and move on, the better.
  • Listen to music. Get your mp3 player or iPod and run your favorite play list. Make sure to play upbeat tunes. Dance to the beat of the music. Sing along.
  • Read comics. I subscribe to Dilbert comics on my RSS reader. The daily comics pile up when I’m busy. Then, when I’m not feeling to well, I browse through the comics. It generally gets me to smile. Try it!
  • Watch YouTube Funnies. If you have a pretty fast internet connection, surf for anything funny on YouTube. Personally, I like looking for classic Filipino TV commercials. I appreciate the creativity of our fellow Pinoy advertisers.
  • Write Poetry. This is one of my favorite activities when I’m feeling extremely emotional. A good friend helped me back on the poetry-writing path. Use metaphors to explain what’s happening to you. If you don’t like poems, just write a paragraph or two. Just let the emotions out. Let the feelings flow. Once you do that, you can breathe easier.

I’m sure you can think of other ways. Point is, if you’re feeling bad, don’t dwell on it too much. You can let it in if you want but try to move it out as quickly as you can. It’s your choice. You have a choice, you know.
