Life, you only get one. Work at it, make it awesome, and be the best you can be in this short little time that we have. One thing that you always have to remember though is: Don't take life too seriously.
If you look around, you'll see people who have lost their zest for life. Yes, they might make goals and achieve them. Yes, they might go relax in a hot bath after a long day of work. However, they are not really living, at least in how I think of the word. They are merely going through their daily actions, not experiencing life.
Remember how good it feels to laugh, and do so often. Remember that some of the things that are stressing you will not be remembered 5 years from now. Everyone has problem... what makes life better is if you can deal with the problems in a light-hearted way. Joke about your issues; poke fun at them.
Doing all this will tend to get you emotionally detached from your problems, something that can help you in two ways:
- It makes the problem easier to deal or cope with.
- It makes you have more fun in your life.
If you think about it, do you really want to grow old and then look back at your life and realize that you were grumpy, upset, mad, sad, tired (yes, a state of mind at times), or any other negative emotion way too often, and could have had a much better experience if you just allowed yourself to enjoy life!
Start today by smiling and laughing more than usual. Research actually shows that smiling can cause you to feel better in just a few seconds. Change your behavior and you will change your state.
P.S.: If you just can't shake a bad mood off you, try moving. Get into a different position, stand up straighter, or just jump up and down and go crazy! Just get moving!
Come on, don't be so serious...
