Making the conscious decision to focus on the ‘brighter side of life’ can be a brave one. It takes energy, effort, refocusing, constantly reminding oneself to quit negative chatter and to try and find those often-elusive silver linings, but is it worth the effort? Sometimes life exhausts the shit out of me, lately it has. For starters our family dog died, which ripped all our hearts out in one swift motion. Secondly, I had to put a pause on the building of my beloved studio while I sort out some other priorities like feeding my children, dealing with unnecessary drama and paying for ever rising electricity costs (it’s a joke right?) So the thought of sitting back, sipping on my beloved cacao and journaling made my stomach churn and that is fine. Because sometimes life kicks you in the balls, and it is bloody okay to sit back and watch Schitt’s Creek while eating some Hagen Daas and crying. It is normal to experience a range of emotions, to feel anger, sadness and grief as well as happiness, excitement and hope. We are, if you believe as I do, spiritual beings having a human experience and being a human is a hard bloody job. For starters we were gifted with the self-awareness that we will die, I mean wtf is that about? Oh to be a cat and live in sweet oblivion. It is normal to have days, weeks, months even when life feel like it is too much, when it seems like everything and everyone is throwing shit your way – honestly some people have nothing better to do, but that’s more about them than you. Now I am not one of those manifesting woo-woo lovers that will fill my social media with linen wearing, perfect house, no cloudy day vibes. Firstly, I only wear black, my house is a mess and honesty is more helpful than that bullshit. Because what do you think then? When you are covered in chip crumbs looking at someone’s fake perfect life? I say in the bin with it. But this is what I think, don’t sit in the mucky muck for too long. Honour your feelings, scream, cry, overindulge in chocolate, ask God wtf? But then when you are ready, put on some tunes you love, wash your face, jump around and come back to the present. Because the good and bad thing about the Universe and the Law of Attraction is that what you put out you attract. If you keep putting out that life is shit and you only have bad luck, then some more of that will come your way. I am NOT saying it is your fault, because bad things happen. It is not your fault. What I am saying is that you have the power to turn it around, because remember what you put out you attract, so if you put out some goodness, that’s what will come back and that is great fucking news. It is worth it, to pull yourself out of your funk, to believe that good things are coming your way, to believe you are worth it, because you are, to believe you deserve more than what has been dished out to you of late because you do, to believe you can have an amazing bloody life, because you can. And to those that try and bring you down, well karma’s a bitch baby. Peace.
