My recent "bad days" have turned into a "bad two weeks" and I keep wondering when the !@#$ it's going to end. Usually I find it easy to chalk it up to just a "bad day", with thoughts that I’d sleep it off and then the next day would be better. For some reason that's not how life is going right now, but I am fighting to try and remain onto the little sliver of optimism that's left. I’m sure there’s tons of people who this happens to, but how can we make it stop?

It's one thing after another. My wallet getting kicked around the casino floor and having the money be taken by someone who worked there. To losing a ninety-dollar scarf while walking the dark corners of DTLA. To learning the ghosts of my past are knocking at my door and haunting my minimal hours of sleep I’m already getting. To stressing about the financial aspects of running a business and the pressure to maintain the status quo while trying not to freak out that I’m about to be a college graduate. Am I the only one who feels an overwhelming sense of chaos right now? Mercury, is that you?

I really don’t like that saying, “when it rains it pours”. To me it means that when one bad thing happens, that means more will follow. Or the other saying that says “bad things happens in three’s”. But I’ve got to say some type of cloud has been looming over my head lately. Have you guys felt this way too?

There’s got to be an end to it! The law of attraction says that what you think about you will get back. Basically, if you think negative thoughts, you’ll get back more negative things and vice versa. It’s so easy to stay in a state of complaining. It’s TOO easy. We identify everything going wrong with our days and forget to be thankful for the things that are going right, it makes sense that you would only notice more distasteful things.

What made you smile today? What food did you eat that made you feel good? What song did you listen to that really made you feel somthing? Whatever those sensations are, be thankful for them. That is part of what makes you human and makes you a unique body of energy. Just like those moments are fleeting pieces of events in time, so are your bad days. Nothing is permanent. Not even those thoughts. Tomorrow could be a great day, if you let it.

Love & Light,

Lindsey
