Finding Positivity in a Bad Week

Finding Positivity in a Bad Week

This was the longest and hardest week I’ve had in a while. Nothing bad happened to me (or in general) it was a tough week. I started the week off feeling really agitated and didn’t understand what was wrong with me. Tuesday was by far the the toughest day for me. My tolerance for everything was very low and my emotions were everywhere. I felt as if I was breaking down. I wasn’t myself and I didn’t like it. By the time Wednesday came, I was completely emotionally and physically drained. I even had a bad case of writer’s block. Needless to say I had to find a way to stop the madness and turn my week around.

First I laid down, closed my eyes, and began to focus on my breathing.

“Inhale in; Exhale out”

This helped me clear my mind of all the frustration I was feeling inside.

Next I began to pray for a calmness in my soul and mind. I kept hearing negative thoughts trying to discourage me and I refused to let them consume me any longer.

“I’m changing, I’m growing, and I will not let negativity win!”

I could feel myself & week turning around; however, I wasn’t 100% me yet. "What else could I do?" I thought. I laid there wondering how I could get it together. Here’s what I did...

• I focused on the positive things I have going on in life. Things may not be going the way I hoped; but things could be a million times worse.

• Laughter. I went through some of my favorite Instagram videos and just laughed to release the toxic out.

• Lastly, I began to write. I wrote down all of my thoughts which turned into this blog post. My writer’s block has passed and I’m myself again!

I survived this week. I took control and made the best out of a bad situation. Every week is not a perfect one but you can always change that. Do not let discouragement and your bad emotions take dictatorship in your life. Be free from negativity! What are somethings you do when you’re having a rough week? Comment below!
