Ebook Laugh in Small Storms
Small things THAT TORMENT
When we are in a difficult time in life, our mood tends to turn negative and we can tend to become irritable without noticing it, affecting people around us and ourselves. Unfortunately, it can become a lifestyle, so it is important to stop it on time by avoiding small storms.
I will give some examples to illustrate a small storm, so that you try not to fall into it:
- You prepared a delicious drink; you are very happy and ready to drink it. You make a quick movement and inadvertently spill everything. The reaction could be frustration, stress, and in general a bad mood. But it could also not give importance, those are things that happen, laugh at the situation, clean, and prepare a another drink.
- You are in a hurry, getting everything ready to go and you are late. Before you leave, you realize that you dirtied your clothes when you eat breakfast. What do you do? get frustrated by what happened? Grumble? or accept the situation, laugh, and go to change clothes? Because, whether you get upset or not, you have to change yours clothes.
Life is full of situations in which we have two options of attitudes: getting upset or smiling. Choosing either one will not change what has already happened, but it could change how you feel about it. Getting carried away by rage does nothing; on the contrary, it can put you in an unnecessary bad mood for the rest of your day. On the other hand, if you smile, solve the situation and continue your life, you will realize that you will not even remember what happened, or if you do, it would be as a funny anecdote. Smile and laugh at the nonsense that goes on, they are not worth being upset about.
WHAT ATTITUDE DO YOU WANT TO CHOOSE?
Storms That Torment
When you believe that happiness comes from the outside, that your soul and your heart are not included in it, you let the external world rule inside you. You could lose yourself in the messiness of life and enter a world of rain of negative thoughts, sadness, fear, anger, etc. All these, leads you to give control of your happiness to what happens outside of you.
Deep inside, you have the control to decide to be happy every day, without depending on what is happening around you. Keep in mind, that you are a being of light, God is always looking at you, always embracing and protecting you, at all times.
When you are caught up in an emotional storm, stop! take a deep breath, and look into from a distance, as if it were someone else going through it. This might help get a better sense of what is going on.
If there is conflict, where you were wrong, or the other person was wrong, have compassion and forgive. Smile and don’t let that moment ruin the rest of your day or days. Remember, that your happiness comes from within and that the Love of God to you is infinite. In the end, everything will pass and you will forget it happened; this is how you return to peace. Every second is an opportunity to start again.
Nothing outside of your heart and soul is important enough to lose joy. Think that, what is important will not make you lose your joy. Deep in your soul, where God lives in you, where everything important in your existence is, there is only peace, serenity, and Love. Smile! Even laugh, if you can during a small storm!
