Trying to get my “mojo” back
From the past few days it feels like I have sunk into a pit of funk. I am aware of this and I want to get myself out of it. But so far, my attempts have been futile. Where has all my optimism and joi de vivre ( I hope I got that right) ..you know..zest for life. Why am I seeing the glass as half empty now? Why am I expecting disastrous things to happen to me instead of good things? It defies logic. But I know life isn’t logical or reasonable. Neither am I do get in this kind of state pretty regularly. But, I usually shake it off in a couple of days, but this time, the state is pretty stubborn. I ‘m having trouble shaking it off. It all started with one thing and my fear and tension with how things can go wrong there. Although there is no evidence of things having actually taken a turn for the worse, my imagination is getting ahead of itself with all kinds of doomsday scenarios. The worst part is that, this kind of thinking has extrapolated to other aspects in my life as well. So, what I have at hand is a kind of gloom and doom attitude. It’s like the Deatheaters from Harry Potter have sucked life’s joy out of me. I so hate it. This is not how I want to be. I hate this expecting bad things to happen when I even get a slightest hint that things aren’t going as planned. The only good thing is that I am aware of this and I do want to change the way I am reacting to the world around me. This means all is not lost. I still can get my “mojo” back.
oh my so you are bitten by the down and out bug - but then the best way to get out of that is whack the bug - but then it is just a temporary phase - we all go through it and pretty soon it will be a thing of the past - so just keep doing what you do:):):):) take care SAmeera:):):)

Sameera, never find a reason for the mood swings but find ways to have small changes that can help you from falling into doldrums, like going for a walk in the morning or evening (with the serenety and beauty of the place you will surely fill your mind with fresh dreams), try learning a new language, etc. At times its equally good to celebrate the funk with a coffee somewhere in a coffee shop:)
