>And if we don't reflect, we never know how far we have travelled. Spending a few minutes (or many minutes) writing each day gives space to reflect on our journey, with a closer proximity in time and space to where we have travelled.

Venturing into the world of blogging, an entirely new endeavor for me as I haven't maintained a journal before, has reshaped my perspective on life.

This newfound practice of expressing my thoughts has become a therapeutic outlet, fostering mindfulness and personal growth. In contrast to my previous approach of grinding through life without much introspection, blogging has offered me a space to pause, contemplate, and appreciate! 🤗

*P.S. I spend hours publishing a post!*

### I hope you feel better soon! Remember that you are strong and you can get through this. We are here to support you at all times. Cheer up!

The balance between positive and negative is a topic that has been discussed for a long time. In life, we face both positive and negative situations, and although we would all prefer to have only positive experiences, it is not always possible. Therefore, it is important to find a balance between the positive and the negative.

First, it is relevant to recognize that both the positive and the negative play a crucial role in our lives. Positive experiences bring us happiness, joy and satisfaction, while negative ones teach us valuable lessons and help us grow and mature. Therefore, it is necessary to accept both the positive and the negative as an integral part of life.

Secondly, it is essential to maintain a balanced perspective. We must not allow negative experiences to affect us too much and make us lose hope. Instead, we should try to find something positive in every negative situation and learn from it. In the same way, we must not allow positive experiences to make us lose our sense of reality and become overconfident. We must maintain a realistic perspective and be prepared to face any challenge that arises.

**Lastly, it is important to maintain a positive attitude. Although we cannot control everything that happens in our lives, we can control how we react to situations. A positive attitude helps us face difficult situations with strength and determination, while a negative attitude only makes us feel helpless and hopeless.**

I think there has been a time or two I started writing a "rant" post and by the time I was about half way through, I realized that my rant wasn't much of a rant to begin with.  Either that, or the issue just wasn't as big of a deal as I previously thought!

Every experience we go through in life has a reason. It doesn't look like it at the beginning, but the truth is there's a good side in it that would shape our future for the better. Sure, better days will come, regardless how ugly today may look.

>  In my opinion, we should accept ourselves as we are today, including our flaws, but still look to improve ourselves for tomorrow. 

There is this saying one has to stack on better actions and move ahead while learning from the bad outcomes and improving through that. It may not give the results immediately but it would put on a path towards consistent improvement.

> But eventually, there are no days left for any of us.

> At that point, better or worse doesn't matter.

I recently had an experience that showed me very clearly that so many of the trivial things that we worry about in day to day life really mean so little when you realise just how close you are (or could be) from not being here at all. It's all about perspective. Once you get a healthy dose of it, your entire universe shifts - so yes, I get it.

>Tomorrow might be a better day, it might be a worse day, but it is another day to make a difference.  

This reminds me of anime Monster. Main character and villain had a completely different  look at the world. One of them believed that tomorrow is gonna be a good day. The other was a nihilist who saw nothing good about humanity.

Evolution is a necessary step of our life as it always demand change of our being and our perspectives. 
Still, unmotivation is floating here in Italy also, but we keep pushing it forward :D

I'm a pessimist so I can relate to those that think "It could be worse". But I do agree with a lot of what you said. We should always strive to make it better. I will admit that it takes a lot of effort to do so, and maybe not have the desired results to make the effort worth it, but just resigning oneself to fate and quitting, is pretty bad. Even small changes can hopefully do some good.

I always vote on your content because you always share pearls of wisdom. I am amazed. Lacking motivation and all doesn't stop you from being here, posting yet again. I wonder if you have a genetic predisposition to discipline? Anyway, I am glad you can, I always benefit from your reflections and the emotional invitations you share. 

I am one of those who says it could be worst, partly because in a way it does cheer me up. But I know there are times where "cheering up" is not what a person need but rather dwell in a feeling until is ready to "cheer up". I do admit I have trouble identifying these moments though. It's not a common debate. People just what to feel good all the time... and to be honest, it's hard to blame them. Sometimes it feels like if you take a break the entire world might fall on you. 

hope you are feeling better now :) after writing this piece. :)

I strongly believe, "Whatever happens, happens for the good". There are certain reasons behind everything ,there might be some positivity in negativity too. Though it might sounds little crazy but i have certain experiences that made me to be like this. the more i try to swim against the waves, the more i pushed back.....this really helps me living life...there are challenges though, but might be my testing pahse. 

I agree with you that writing is indeed therapeutic. Hope you felt better after writing this. ❤️💡

My main issue is that I delay doing things in my life recently. I feel myself somehow busy and I don't do anything for them. Perhaps, it is due to weather which have become cold for a while.

> "it is just a bad day, tomorrow will be different".

I have always tried to live by this rule where I tell myself nothing is really that certain in life. I always tell myself I might die or not the next day. Not that I want to die but it's a way of telling myself to make a positive difference and make myself better each day than the last.
If it's a good day, Great! If it's a bad day, Great! We try again the next day and hope it is better. I learn with each passing day how I can improve and better myself physically,emotionally and psychologically.

I write down my day in my diary, so it can help me reflect about the bad and the good things I've done for the day.
I love the message passed down in this post. Quite thoughtful.
Best wishes Tarazkp.
