Have you ever had one of those days that you're just in a funk? You feel like there's a rain cloud that just keeps following you? Like nothing can snap you out of your deep dark melancholy?
I empathize all too well. I like to refer to this as an Eeyore kind of mood.
For me it's been an Eeyore kind of summer. Everything is so bitter sweet; so finite and unappealing. Maybe it's because I'm entering into my last year of undergraduate college. Maybe it's because I feel like I'm losing friends to bigger and better things while I'm still here in Boston living the dorm life. It could also be because I'm totally clueless as to what I'm going to do once I finally graduate in May. I have no job, no where to live, no school to go to.... So many reality checks in one summer would turn anyone into an Eeyore.
Regardless, I need to get out of this funk. I need to become more of a Pooh Bear; so optimistic, so bright eyed and bushy tailed. I'm too young to be such a bitter realist I know, but it's so hard to change now. I know my cynicism is driving people crazy. Hell listening to myself is driving me crazy. What can I do to get out of this mood....think, think, think, think, think...
Umm the reason you are in this mood is because you think, think, think, think, think. Try taking like as it comes at you for a change. Go with the flow and be a little more free spirited. Maybe then your stress levels will subside.
