See Things in a Different Light

I tried my best to see things in a different light, I can think positively despite the negative things happening in our world. I personally think that we need to maintain the stability of our mental state. It is how we can handle the challenges brought by this pandemic to our lives. I sometimes felt sick and tired of negative things popping out here and there, but I managed not to feel insecure about them. I just need to keep the positivity from within. How do you handle negative things in your life? Image Credit: stimulansz.nl

Yeah sometimes i also feel bored but anyway i have to get through this life's challenges. Especially during this pandemic, it also forces us to think positively and always innovate about anything.

@Chakimmm Indeed. We need also to influence others to be like us.

@Shavkat Yes of course we have to keep our body and mental health, because it will be very risky when we don't take care of it.

It’s good if you don’t worry but there are some things that should be of concern to everyone.

The only makes me worried is the welfare of my immediate family. As an eldest, I need to be more optimistic to influence them the same way.

I am affected by my current job. But then, I found a new job online, which I think I can compensate for my loss due to this pandemic. I am still looking for another job while working with my current lousy company.

@florelway Nope. I am working in an online tutorial company at present. I do a text-based online tutorial too. I planned to go back and work with an NGO. It will be delayed due to this pandemic.

Well I agree with your way of dealing with problems and negativity. I also always try to take the positive side of every problem or negative things that stop in my life.

I cannot afford to jeopardize my mental health because of these negative thoughts on something or someone. A lot of people need me, so it is better to keep on fighting than cry out loud over something. It is best to find a solution and not be in a stagnant situation.

I'm a magnet for negativity yet I have enough genes and happy cortisone to not let negativity get in my way, even though so much gets on my nerves everyday. I just have to look at positive things and not things that I know will cause me to react. Which is most things.

I guess we need these happy hormones especially now. I am not a perfect soul because I can also be in a gloomy situation. However, it does not take long before I push myself to be more positive.

I find it cool to have something to be serious about. The only meditation that I can do before is coffee meditation. I cannot do it due to health reasons. This pandemic did affect my plan for the future. As you had mentioned, I hang on and do things at present more.

The best course of action for me is to be more productive than whining in the corner. This pandemic is greatly affected us and we need to do something. If you are going to entertain negative thoughts, it will not help us in any direction. By the way, welcome to myLot!

For me I have come to accept negativity as part of life's challenges, but i don't let it interfere or be greater than my positivity. I just let go.

Meditation helps and also keep yourself always because so mind controls whenever a negative thought comes or when we low .
