So I’ve fallen off the wagon, a little bit. I try to do yoga everyday, stay positive and relaxed, but lately I’ve been nothing of the sort. The stress of everyday life is just getting to me. With my unemployed status that seems to be lasting a decade. Everything in my life seems to be slowly getting sucked into that same negative vibe. Like how a child gets sucked into daytime television, I’ve been sucked into depression. I also think that I’m starting to pull all my friends and family into it as well. I find that even they who are still employed and happy are starting to get the down feeling more frequently. I don’t know if its me that’s causing my friends and families depression but if it is that’s just more of an incentive for me to bust out of this funk.
So I’ve started to reread “the way of the peaceful warrior” which is just one of those books that really make you think and want to be better. Unlike allot of books on Buddhism which I find myself trying to just suck the knowledge out of instead of enjoying the book. The Way of the Peaceful Warrior is a book that I can relax on a Sunday afternoon and just absorb into. There’s a reason why it has lasted for so long and is still being published to this day.
Besides that, I smile for as long and as often as I can. Believe it or not but smiling makes you want to smile. It also makes other people want to smile which in return make you smile more! A beautiful scenario it is.
I stared to pay a little more attention to my diet. Eating junk food makes me sluggish and lazy. Being lazy makes me have more negative thoughts, and negative thoughts cause depression and more laziness.
So I believe, that with my few alterations in my diet and mental attitude I will become my healthy, joyous, energertic self one gain. Also with a little bit of help and positive thinking everything that I mean to achieve with be accomplished. Just can’t give up.
