Lately ,,, I have been feeling really down mainly because of work . I am not that happy with what I do. My work sucks out the positivity in me. It consumes me so much that I just snap easily. I tried to learn how to love it but I still have not succeeded .. so Im just trying my best to live with it since having no work would be a bigger problem but with the current circumstances I really dont have much options. I cant just leave work. Never that easy.
This is how I feel almost everyday and since I cannot just quit.. I need to find better ways to handle my emotions and other issues in a better way. I try to look into the positive side of the situation. Dont get me wrong, I am grateful for having work. I guess its just hard doing something you are not into. You know what I mean right?
There may be people who are facing the same difficulty so I decided to share what keeps me going during times like this... You might want to give it a try,
1.As repetitive as it may sound---- Remember why you started.
- This wont be hard to remember since this the reason why we have this journey. It may probably be to support your family, give your wife and children a better future, save up for a wedding, settle medical bills or to build your family your dream house. Whatever it is.. Hold on to it tightly and make sure you bear it in mind every single minute.
2.Motivation
-No matter how bad we want to achieve something fate always has its way to test our perseverance. There will be hindrances which would only slow us down but also there will be some which would make us stop fighting. I think of motivation as a fuel.. It gives you the boost and energy to get back and keep up with the race.
To motivate myself .. I look at these pictures:


The two pictures above shows my sisters and the kids of the eldest.

-This is my mom with one of her grandkids.. I am a fan of my mom’s cooking ( We all are right?) .. I miss everything she cooks but most of all her warmth.. I remember always wanting to be beside her when I was younger..

-meet my father. He recently suffered from stroke but I am grateful that he is slowly on his way to recovery. ( I miss you papa!)
-------> I need to wait for another year or two to physically be with them . Meanwhile I have these to lessen the loneliness while doing the countdown. Looking at these gives me all the strength I need to overcome whatever life throws at me…Would not trade them for anything else…
3.Never hurry ( Everything has its perfect time)
- We were always taught that goals should be SMART and that includes being Time bound. This is true. However , if this will just cause you to put excessive pressure to yourself everyday then that is not helpful at all. If you can reach your goal faster than you planned, then magnificent! but if you think you need more time then it is by all means ok.. remember— “ It doesn’t matter how slow you go, as long as you do not stop”
4.Reward yourself.Relax.
- This is just right. Remember that you and I deserve this. Praise yourself for doing such a great job. This does not have to be extravagant and costly. Go out . Eat. Watch a movie . Hangout with friends. Treat yourself by doing something you love or buying something that will make you happy.
5.Enjoy and learn from the Journey
- Life is one hell of a ride. It will be long , tedious, happy , exciting , tiresome, exhausting and everything else mixed up. The greatest reward of going through this bumpy ride is achieving your goal and becoming a better person than you were before the journey started.
These are just some of the things that one can do during those times. I am sure there are a lot more ways to cope with the sadness of frustration that we face daily. If you have more then let me know by commenting below. I could probably make use of it also.
