Yesterday I had a whole bunch of stuff come crashing down on me (metaphorically, not physically), and I was not a happy camper for most of the morning and into the afternoon.
I thought about laughing for no reason, but frankly for a while there I didn’t want to be happy, I wanted to be angry and miserable.
But time does heal all wounds (and perhaps when you are happier in general it works like aloe and heals some wounds a little quicker) because by mid afternoon the “wanting to be angry and miserable” was fading and I could actually start to feel good again.
It did help that I had some great clients yesterday that I felt I was actually able to help, and I did put on some music that I know tends to cheer me up.
I can’t imagine what it must be like to be angry and miserable all the time. But having that experience only makes me want to help others to free themselves from that sort of state even more.
By late afternoon I was getting really silly and finding random pictures online then making my own silly motivational posters for them.
Let me try it again.
(I find worth1000.com to be a great source for pictures – some of them, like this one are photo-shopped. I picked this at random out of one of their galleries. see: http://fxb.worth1000.com/contests/8185/ice-fishing)
The Caption I came up with for this one:
Sharing
“I’ve got the fish, did you guys bring the coke?”
Anyway, the point of this post is the more you have joy and laughter in your like the harder it becomes to stay miserable for long.
