The other day I was feeling dejected and if you ask me the
reason then I have no answer. Does it sometimes happen with you as well? When
everything seems going smoothly and still you feel low. For a couple of hours,
I was left like this. Then it started affecting my mood as well as the task I
was indulged in. I thought and tried to figure out what exactly it was, but
all in vain.
However, later on I realized that it is just you get bored of
following the same routine. Getting up unwillingly (as it's winters), ready up
hurriedly, walk briskly to reach your destination and then strived hard to meet
deadlines. What a race we are following! I decided that I could not deal with
unhappy mood any more.
How did I retrieve my
lively mood? Here are the things I tried:
- I pondered over what is
that making me dispirited. Remember, here you need to be honest without
being biased to yourself.
- Opened up my notebook and
jotted down the facts to be happy about the day. Even the small ones!
- It was Friday, so the
weekend was approaching which means I would get good time to enjoy freedom
(don’t get me wrong, obviously from office!) and love myself.
- Made a list of must-haves
that I was putting off due to lack of time (was it so or just an excuse,
still unable to decide) and decided to shop coming weekend.
- I encouraged myself to
buck-up and accomplished my professional tasks on time. What a relief it
was!
- Being a diet-conscious person, I
always try my best to refrain from junk food but that day I gave myself
treat and savoured food of my choice. (with a promise to myself that won’t
make it a habit)
- I practiced good humour
and cracked jokes (some of them were really poor) which in turn gave me an
opportunity to laugh at heart
- Called up one of my
childhood friends whom I connect rarely but we still share the special
bond of friendship. It made me relived those nostalgic days.
- Remember all the gifts
presented by my soul mate which transported me into a world of joy. Felt
fortunate!
- Read the points again and felt overwhelmed!
It took me hardly few minutes to jot down these tips and my
sadness disappeared like a bubble. When I thought back, I smiled and could not
help saying, "What a stupid I was?"
