My Coffee, Movie, Me and You…

It is Friday night. I am watching the movie ‘The Holiday’, enjoying my cup of hot coffee and also typing this post – can it get any better ?

Past two days have been a bit hard for me though – Things in business did not go as planned – There are these couple of keywords I am trying to rank on the first page of Google for – I am working hard at it – and slowly approaching the first page.

On Thursday, I woke up feeling a bit down – this feeling only multiplied when I checked my rankings and found that I am still on the same spot I was four days ago.

To tell you the truth, I have been improving my rankings quite consistently over the past month – Just because my rankings did not improve in the past four days, there is no reason to feel dejected.

But since I started my day feeling a bit low, I was looking at everything with a negative outlook. And so the negativity spiraled from there – and by the end of the day I was feeling really miserable – and all this intense feeling for no ‘real’ reason.

By negative thoughts I don’t mean thinking negatively about others – by negative thoughts I mean having negative thoughts about myself….

I started my Friday also being a bit hard on myself. But by midday I realized what I was doing to myself – I decided to fight it…

And it is almost the end of the day now and I am happy to tell you that I am feeling much better now – I am not my old cheery self yet but I am much better than what I was yesterday.

Feeling a bit low about oneself from time to time is quite common. Everyone goes through it. I don’t mind letting myself feel low when there is a good enough reason – In my current case though, there is no good reason – all the reasons are reasons of my own imagination. And that is why I decided to fight it and not waste one more day…

So, this morning I decided to take things a bit lightly – I watched a lot of television, with a laptop – Watching television took my mind off the mundane things – And because I was working, I was working slowly working down my day’s task list – and this made me feel good.

When you are down because of some ‘real reasons’ then you spend some time to think things through – But for times likes this, when there is no ‘real’ reason at all, when feeling down is mainly caused by being pessimistic about oneself then it is important to fight it.

And now it is almost the end of the day – and am really feeling a lot better

That’s it for now – Just wanted to share with you all how my last couple of days went….

What do you do when you are feeling a bit low (for no ‘real’ reason) ? How do you pull yourself up ?

Best,
