Lately, have you seen more rainy days than sunny ones? Been caught in more lightning storms than you would have liked? Well... me too. But hey, we've all been there at least once, right? if we haven't yet, then we will. You may be caught in a tornado warning right now, but that doesn't mean you have to let that upset you. I'm here to be your weatherman and tell you how to see the sun in a hurricane.

1. Let the sunshine in whenever you can.

Life can never be completely bad; the scale has to be balanced. It can never be too bad without somehow getting good, even if it's only for a split second. All may seem dark, but there is always, always, a way to see the light in the dark. Even if it's only a small portion it's better than nothing. Life can be really hard at times, but just because it's really hard, doesn't mean every moment of every day is going to be bad. You have to open the blinds sometimes, it will not rain forever.

2. Stay Positive!

The darkness feeds off of negative energy and only makes your weather worse. If you do not have some kind of positive outlook, negativity will consume you and eventually bad will be all you are able to see. It will forever be dark clouds unless you force the sunshine through. Try to keep an open mind! From experience, I have learned that thinking negatively gets you only bad results. If your mind has no room for the good, then the good will never enter it.

3. Let others drag you out of the rain.

Yes, they will try, and you know that you're gonna instinctively push them away because "They don't understand" or because you "deserve to be left alone", but any of the automatic negative thoughts that come up need to be dismissed. If you go out with your friends there is a really good chance you will have a great time! You will feel a whole lot better than if you stayed in bed thinking about all of your troubles. I cannot tell you that distraction is the best method, but it is way better than drowning in your own anxiety.

These are just a few ways to let the sunshine in when you're living in a hurricane. I hope you may find these tips helpful so that you may live your life to the fullest, even when it's hard.
