I finally decided to give Life Probabilities a proper home.
From now on I will be writing here
Please check it out. I will be happy if you continue reading my writings :)
I have several ''tricks'' which make me forget about the snow and similar ''disasters'' and keep my good mood. Today was a potential bad day. I saw really unpleasant dream, it was icy and cold when I went out and I received a rejection letter for my guest post... But instead of feeling sorry and sad, I pulled myself together and called back my good mood.
- Smile – maybe it sounds crazy, but once you try you will see it works. Start your day with a smile. One smile in the bathroom mirror can make miracles!
- Music – turn on those beats that make you happy, sing along or move. Simply give music a chance and it will give you a cure
- Surrounding – make a place at home, where you feel most comfortable and relaxed. Have nice photos around, nice things that you like looking at, bright colors, candles, ect. This place will be your escape from the bad mood, where it will not be able to find you
- Memories – recall the happiest moments of your life. Re-live them once more. Concentrate on how you felt back then and bring back that feeling
- Happy hour – plan something for the day that will make you feel better. Meet friends, go out for a walk, have that forbidden chocolate bar, read a book, watch a movie, sip your coffee/tea/cocktail with no hurry – whichever is for you. Just schedule a time slot, when it will be only about you
- Workout – yes, I know that on those days you especially feel lazy to workout. But believe me this is the best way to charge your body energy. Maybe promising yourself the ''happy hour'' mentioned above may contribute to the motivation. In any case, working out helps me release stress, boost energy and on long run look much better
- Daydream – there is something you want, long for, hope to happen, dream of. Think about that. Decide when it will happen and wait. Even if it doesn’t happen soon (it's forbidden to think that it won't happen at all!) it will bring positive emotions meanwhile
- Thank you - maybe at this exact moment you feel unfortunate, but think once more. Go through all the things you are grateful for and you will realize that you have much more than you thought
- Activity – things will not change if you stay passive. If there are things, which you do not like in your day, do something to change. Be active and move. People, who are on the top, did not fall there from the sky, right? They did not get there lying on the coach either
- Attitude – things like the weather though, will not change, even if you are active. But for those things, just change your attitude towards them. Think if the things which annoy you today will matter in few years. Most probably they won't. Why put such importance in that case?
Dancing with the invisible souls
I am touching a vulnerable place
Knocking on the closed doors
I am chasing the faded days
Hugging the newborn muse
I am finding unspoken words
Being in someone else's shoes
Starts getting on my nerves
Chasing down the future
Which keeps running away
I'm feeling the pressure
Of things I wanna say
Dancing with the invisible souls
I am finding new ways
To cover up the holes
Of my thoughts and face
Me, myself and I are sitting in a dark room and looking at each other...
None of us speaks and each of us is sunk in different mood, emotion and thoughts. Three of us are so like each other, but at the same time so different. We know everything about each other but at the same time we don't know each other completely.
When the Silence got too tense and started occupying more space in the room than we had allocated to her, Me spoke.
Me: You think it's ok to spend days doing nothing?
Silence annoyed and offended faded away...
I: Well, yes. It's cold and grey outside, I am tired and doing nothing is the perfect things to do now.
Myself: A-ha. That's just and excuse. You should do plenty of things you are not doing. Work out, cook or at least - write!
Me coughing deliberately to make the statement sound more dramatic asked:
– By the way what happened to that great book you started writing?
Myself winked to Me and both pair of eyes smiled to each other.
I: Well if you both did not chase the Muse away, maybe he could help me out! He got jealous from the fact that you two are always next to me and left. So you will have to put up with the lazy I from now on!
Me: Great! As always you put the blame on Muse. Are you sure he ever visited you? Maybe it was just a vision, dream or your imagination? Are you sure he exists and even if he does, if he has anything in common with you?
Myself: Ha-ha. Let's organize a ''Muse calling ritual''.
I: Look, I really appreciate the fact that you don't leave me alone, but maybe you could simply stay unnoticed, silent and talk to each other not me?
Me: Maybe, but since we are somewhat part of you we can't. You are such an extravert after all!
Myself: Extravert and VERY talkative, so Silence is none of your friend. The poor thing came just for few minutes and you already started to panic.
Me: Yeah. I actually saved you by starting a conversation.
I: Thanx, you both are so sensitive to all my needs. One could only dream of such compassion J
Me: You are welcome. After all if not you we would not exist...
Myself: And maybe that would be for good...
I: Ok... you're right; it's time to get back to that great book. Let's get to the preparatory stage and finally write that thing!
Me and Myself started preparing the required environment.
Me ran to the kitchen and brought the beer. Myself turned on the music and brought the laptop.
I sat, sipped the beer, and closed the eyes for few second to feel the words.
Our fingers met the keyboard buttons, which waited for them since very very long.
