Video: When You Are Not Being Your Best Self

Your best self is that part of you that is joyful, fun, laid back, generous, loving, happy, cheerful, peaceful. When we feel bad, it is usually because we are not being our best self. It is not what is done to us that makes us feel bad, but what we are being in reaction to it. Take a look at your life – when you feel bad, are you being your best self?

Put a Happy Face On It

I met up with a friend last night, and I was telling her the ‘woe is me’ tale of my life, when I realised that actually things weren’t that bad, and I was just whining about reality not conforming to my view of what is ‘right’ (it does that a lot!). The main ‘problem’ of course, was not reality, but me trying to force reality to be something it’s not. Expecting reality to be other than it is is the fastest way to drive yourself insane!

Once I realised that all is really well, and no one died, no one even felt ill, there was no big problem except my attitude, I started again and realised that I am a lot further on than I was last time we spoke, and all is still going in a forwards direction. It felt much better to put a happy face on it, and I was able to drop the vague discontent I had been feeling. The discontent in fact was because I was arguing with reality, not because there was a problem.

When something TERRIBLE happens, putting a happy face on it might not feel right or appropriate, but if you are just putting the worst possible spin on your life to enjoy a good moan, maybe putting a happy face on it will make it all better…surprisingly quickly!

FDA Approves Depressant Drug For …

Video: FDA Approves Depressant Drug For The Annoyingly Cheerful. This made me chuckle this week – at last, there may be some help for the irrepressibly happy, bouncy, cheerfully annoying people. Lol. They also mention some natural remedies, so if you want to de-cheer yourself without the use of pharmaceuticals you can.

The Optimist’s Creed – Video

I have just loved this poem so much, that I wanted to record it on video so as well as reading it, you could listen to it. I am reading it to myself every day, and doing my best to keep these promises – they’re a great recipe for a good life!

The Optimist’s Creed by Christian D Larson.

Enjoy!
