It's okay to not be okay.
Period. At the moment I am super happy where I am and even though I just weighed myself, I've used my techniques to make sure my brain didn't take the unsuccess as a sign of my overriding uselessness which my negative thinking uses to cripple me if it can. The scale continues to be my enemy! Every now and then, I go through my moments of feeling a bit blue and not feeling quite as happy as I usually do. This is something that most people go through and is a very normal part of just simply being human. Although there are very specific reasons for one to feel this way, the cure to this sadness is usually not so clear. If the answer were so clear, it would be much easier to get through and would take very little time to get over. It’s okay to be sad; it’s okay to not be okay. Sometimes, we need some time to harbor certain feelings so that we can become stronger and learn how to deal with our lives. Sometimes we need to take a step back from reality and discover what it truly is that we want from life. And sometimes we need to recognize that we are not in our best state and that we need time to reflect on why we are feeling certain emotions. No matter what those emotions are, we should not feel badly about feeling them because they are what make us human. But it is best to look at the situation with an objective point of view and see the end view as happiness. Sadness is not an emotion that we can easily ‘snap out of’; but we can learn how to STARVE IT.
Feeling sad is a completely valid experience but wallowing in the emotion can result to unhealthy effects; without the low points we wouldn’t value the high points as much. No one can be okay all the time.
