Now, what can we do about
it?
How about chasing off
that depression with the broom of perspective?
For myself, I had to step back and realize a few truths when a slump hits me.
1.
I'm
loved. I have a wonderful, supportive family, and great
friends. It's not the number of people who care for you that matter, it's that
they love you as you love them. You can get through any hard time when you have
someone at your back.
2.
I'm
a published author. How may in this world can say they've
accomplished such a dream? I can look at my book covers and see my name printed
right on the front. That's me. *grin* It's good to remember our triumphs. I've
always loved writing. Now, I write and people read my books. How amazing is
that!
Do
you have kids? They are you. You brought life to this world. A little bit of
you will go on in this world. That's no small feat. Be proud.
3.
Ups
and downs are normal, and never last. Sometimes we want life
to be all about the good. We want every day to be fantastic and exciting, but
that's not life. Today may be boring, stressful, or downright crappy, but it
won't last.
The
beginning of this year was seriously bad for me, but I look back on it now and
think "I got through it and here I am". Don't be discouraged if
you're having a bad day, week, month; it always gets better. That's the nature
of life…ever changing.
How do you beat the blues
when they come around? Perspective is sometimes difficult to find in the midst
of the darkness. Sometimes it just takes stopping for a quiet moment to see the
light around you.
