I understand the feeling. The feeling where everyone else has it figured out and you don't. They seem to be put together all the time. They're always so happy. Well honestly, they have bad days too. "It is not the absence of problems, but ability to deal with them." -Steve Maraboli. Maybe you had the worst day and everyone around you had a great one. It can be so challenging to pretend that everything is great. You want to be happy for the people around you, but you're stuck... I think we’ve all been there.
What I've learned is you can take any good moment from every day. Change how your day is going. There are many ways you can do this. When I was going through a rough patch, I would do small things that would make me feel better. I would go and buy my favorite candy or go to Starbucks. Maybe I would go to dinner at my favorite spot to eat. Maybe go out and get your nails done or go online shopping. You could watch your favorite show or go outside. Even scroll through twitter for the laughs. Whatever it is for you... you can turn your day around a little bit. Something that can be helpful is writing three things down that you loved about that day. They can be so simple. Already this morning I can tell you I loved getting coffee at Starbucks this morning, seeing an old Facebook post of one of my best friends and I, and going to lunch in a couple of hours with a couple of friends. Write a couple of things you noticed you did that you might want to improve on. There is always room for improvement. Something I want you to keep in mind is that everything happens for a reason. Life is about the good times and the bad times. We cannot appreciate the great times without going through some rough patches. The best thing I did was find a creative outlet. I started writing music and writing what I was feeling to hopefully relate to other people. Just remember you are so important, so beautiful and so loved. Make today a great day -Kariann
