Life glorious Life

Don't you hate those people who write "I love life" or "life is so good to me" or "I am in love with life" I certainly used to hate those people and get even more angry when I saw these status updates. Then I started wondering why so many other people feel this way and not me. I started reevalutaing my life and what was happening that I didn't feel like this. Confronting your demons is not always fun and people often choose to just live with these demons in the hopes that it will just go away.

One by one I started to change certain things about my life in order to make it better for me. Firstly its your thought patterns and what you put out. Being construstive and not being negative is a major step forward as it is so easy to complain....as most people do. Instead embrace all lifes challenges and what you going to learn from it.

Secondly and probably one of the more difficult challenges is to look at the people that surrouind your everyday life and cut out the negative one's. Sometimes you have to let go of the one's closest to you and sometimes you have to pull in the one's that you have neglected. It's emotional yet rewarding when you find the balance of the friendships that you want. Like I said in my previous post it doesn't matter how long someone has been your friend.

Thirdly, you have to learn to love yourself. And I don't mean in a conceited way. When I was told this, I thought to myself "but I do love myself. No in fact I didn't. If I hated my life then of course I was portraying a negative outlook and then natuarally that means I didn't love myself. You have to really soul search and work on the things that you dont like about yourself and improve and the things you do like about yourself you must try utilise more often.

Lastly, a healthy body is a healthy mind. I always thought I could get away without exercising and thats because physically I could but not mentally. Since I have started exercising and put so much focus on it, the feeling you get from it and having it unleashed it so powerful. With that comes belief and power in something higher or not. I'm not trying to say that I've become all religious but just having that feeling makes you appreciate life's little joys and subtleties.
