Getting Bogged Down By the Negative by Ryan Krueger

Have you ever noticed how easy it is to see all the negative things going on in your life? I get bogged down by all of it and tend to think that something is wrong with me because that's all I am focused on. For example, endless debt. Working three jobs and It still feels like I will never be out of it. Someone tells you they love you and then walks away. Your emotions go all over the place. You are confused, you miss them, and then you become upset. You feel used. It feels like you're not worth it. There is something wrong with you. You mess up at work and people begin to notice... it feels like you can't do anything right lately. Then you begin to compare yourself to others and there is this enormous amount of pressure to look and act a certain way that comes with that. 


Don't do that! Don't forget about how unique and beautiful you are. You are the only you out there and that is what makes you so amazing! Everything tends to stack up and weigh you down when you look at the things going wrong as negative experiences instead of a lesson to grow from. Maybe, if you get your mind off of the negative and start seeing the positive things, (believe me, they are there, you just have to give it a little look 👀) you can begin to enjoy the present and look forward to your tomorrows.
