                     POSITIVITY  ~ Key to Sanity and a Happy Life

We have all been there! Those moments where we wished the earth opened up to dissolve us

Those moments where we wished we never existed
Those moments where we feel so unworthy of being US. The tough times, yeah the tough times! It took me twenty three years to realize tough times are a part of life. Going through a series of tough times these past months I learned a lot and hence decided to share the little I learned with you guys. Hope you enjoy it and learn as well😊
 First and foremost, the key to enduring a tough time is accepting that it is actually part of life and bound to happen to anyone anywhere at anytime! The interesting part of going through hard times is that, they give us the opportunity to look deep into ourselves, the chance to change and grow, the realization of our own personal aspirations and goals and the strength to achieve them.~ before the tips I want you to know it's okay to cry if you want to because hard times can be really rough!  But do not beat yourself up for long!

Tip 1 - Maintain an attitude of life~ it is really easy to feel like nothing matters anymore when going through a tough time when actually there is a lot that matters. This is the time you get closer to the higher power you worship and serve (God). Praying to God during hard times is the best thing. It gives an assurance that everything will fall in place at the right time that He has ordained. Always remember God won't give you anything He knows you cannot handle! Be thankful, be grateful and know that not everyone woke up to see the day and even it's hardships and that's enough reason to be thankful, Be HAPPY!!!!


Tip 2 - Denounce the way and manner you are going to hold yourself up during tough times. Make up your mind that you would not let whatever situation you are facing bring you down, that is your power and no one can take that from you. Remind yourself of how strong you are, how you were made to endure tough times and hence you are going to do whatever it takes to win over that hard time! ( you never know how strong you are until theres no option but to be strong ). Have that mindset and trust you will conquer whatever comes up against you 💪!!

Tip 3 - Limiting  and managing your exposure to negativity goes a long way during hard times. Forget negative people, negative things, negative attitudes ... Protect your sanity, and do not entertain negative vibes around. If it takes cutting people off  people in order for you to maintain your sanity go ahead! Negative people and things affects ones thinking and can actually make things seem more difficult than they already are! Also accept that there are some things that you cannot control and it's just part of life. Don't worry about those things, lift your head up high and keep it pushing. You got it!

Tip 4 - Make it a point to find something to laugh about always especially during tough times! It can be anything at all, Let people call you crazy! Yes be crazy for yourself . Forgive people, Try new things, hang out with different people, try new foods, new places, work your ass off and make your money. Also it's a MUST to spoil yourself during tough times if you have the means!Buy yourself those shoes you have been dieing to have for a long time, treat yourself to the spa, that outfit you wanted, go get it. Go to the gym if you have to! Work towards your dreams and goals and forget whatever hard time you are going through! (Especially if you can't control those hard times)

Tip 5 - Surround yourselves with positive people and vibes only! Have faith and keep trusting God to see you through your hardtime! Appreciate those who never gave up on you during those times. Have a positive mindset towards everything even the hard times! Know that the best is yet to come and rise up to your grind. Remember Life is a destination, make it worthwhile ~ you are a conqueror!
