The art of cheering myself up


Wake up on the wrong side of the bed one morning and the whole day is ruined. Then one bad thing comes after another like a vicious series of bad events that never end. Who have not had that kind of day?

Since the mind is the most powerful muscle to my emotion being, a way to manoeuvre away from that vicious sequence is by maneuvering away from sulking into negative thinking - by cheering myself up and count little blessings. It is a skill to acquire, and I am learning to acquire it slowly

Yesterday was supposed to be shopping day, i was supposed to wake up early, to have an early start, be home early for the icebreaking potluck later that night. but I went to bed late, woke up with huge bags under my eyes, trains were suspended, didn't have time for breakfast... For a million seconds, I almost jump to the conclusion that today was gonna be really bad and tiring. So I've got to do what I've got to do. Make a list of little things that make me smile.
  1. Sips of orange juice with bits
  2. Bottled frappucino
  3. Free replacement busses
  4. Unexpectedly discounted shoes
  5. Shopping buddy
  6. Smell of coffee whilst resting my feet at Costa
  7. Pinkberry
  8. Empty stomach, holes in the pocket but later that night, potluck. (Free n yummy dinner)
  9. Compliments on the tiramisu that I made
  10. Nicely captured pictures
  11. Receiving long lost hugs
  12. Wedding invites
  13. Seeing your married friends being very happy
  14. 'Three musketeers'
  15. Freshers who remind you of how fast time has flied
  16. Skype session
PS: oh no, Monday coming so soon.
