Everybody has blue days.
These are miserable days when you feel lousy, grumpy, lonely, and utterly exhausted.
Days when you feel small and insignificant, when everything seems just out of reach.
You can't rise to the occasion.
Just getting started seems impossible.
On blue days you can become paranoid that everyone is out to get you. (This is not always such a bad thing.)
You feel frustrated and anxious, which can induce a nail-biting frenzy that can escalate into a triple-chocolate-mud-cake-eating frenzy in a blink of an eye!
On blue days you feel like you're floating in an ocean of sadness.
You're about to burst into tears at any moment and you don't even know why.
Ultimately, you feel like you're wandering through life without purpose.
You're not sure how much longer you can hang on, and you feel like shouting, \"will someone please shoot me!\"
It doesn't take much to bring on a blue day.
You might just wake up not feeling or looking your best, find some new wrinkles, put on a little weight, or get a huge pimple on your nose.
You could forget your date's name, or have an embarrassing photograph published.
You might get dumped, divorced, or fired, make a fool of yourself in public, be afflicted with a demeaning nickname, or just have a plain old bad-hair day.
Maybe work is a pain in the butt.
You're under major pressure to fill someone else's shoes, your boss is picking on you, and everyone in the office is driving you crazy.
You might have a splitting headache, or a slipped disk, bad breath, a toothache, chronic gas, dry lips, or a nasty ingrown toenail.
Whatever the reason, you're convinced that someone up there doesn't like you.
Oh, what to do ,what to do?
Well, if you're like most people, you'll hide behind a flimsy belief that everything will sort itself out.
Then you'll spend the rest of your life looking over your shoulder, waiting for everything to go wrong all over again.
All the while becoming crusty and cynical, or a pathetic, sniveling victim.
Until you get so depressed that you lie down and beg the earth to swallow you up, or, even worse, become addicted to Billy Joel songs.
This is crazy, because you're only young once, and you're never old twice.
Who knows what fantastic things are in store just around the corner?
After all, the world is full of amazing discoveries, things you can't even imagine now.
There are delicious, happy sniffs, and scrumptious snacks to share.
Hey, you might end up fabulously rich, or even become a huge superstar (one day).
Sounds good, doesn't it?
But wait, there's more!
There are handstands and games to play and yoga and karaoke and wild, crazy, bohemian dancing.
But best of all, there's romance.
Which means long dream stares, whispering sweet nothings, cuddles, smooches, more smooches, and even more smooches, a frisky love bite or two, and then, well, anything goes.
So how can you find that blissful \"just sliding into a hot bubble bath\" kind of feeling?
It's easy.
First, stop slinking away from all those nagging issues.
It's time to face the music.
Now, just relax. Take some deep breaths (in through the nose and out through the mouth).
Try to meditate if you can.
Or go for a walk to clear your head.
Accept the fact that you'll have to let go of some emotional baggage.
Try seeing things from a different perspective.
Maybe you're actually the one at fault. If that's the case, be big enough to say you're sorry (it's never too late to do this).
If someone else is doing the wrong thing, stand up tall and say, \"That's not right and I won't stand for it!\" It's okay to be forceful.
(It's rarely okay to blow raspberries.)
Be proud of who you are, but don't lose the ability to laugh at yourself.
(This is a lot of easier when you associate with positive people.)
Live every day as if it were your last, because one day it will be.
Don't be afraid to bite off more than you can chew.
Take big risks.
Never hang back. Get out there and go for it.
After all, isn't that what life is all about?
I think so too
你今天心情不好吗？
每个人都有忧郁的日子。
那些日子真是惨透了，你觉得心里乱糟糟的、怨气丛生、寂寞、整个人彻底的精疲力尽。
那些日子总会让你感到自己的渺小和微不足道，每件事情似乎都够不着边。
你根本无法振作起来。
根本没有力气重新开始。
在忧郁的日子里，你可能变成偏执狂，觉得每个人都想要吃定你。（其实情况并不总是那么糟）
你感到灰心、焦虑，可能开始神经质地拼命咬指甲，然后不可救药地陷入一眨眼吃掉三大块巧克力蛋糕的疯狂！
在忧郁的日子里，你会觉得自己在悲伤的海里沉沉浮浮。
不论什么时候，你总有想哭的冲动，却不知道为了什么。
最后，你觉得自己犹如行尸走肉，失去生活目标。
你不知道自己还可以撑多久，然后你想大喊一声：“谁来一枪把我打死吧！”
其实一点小事就让你一天都有郁闷难当。
也许只是一觉醒来，没有感觉到或者看到自己最棒的一面，发现自己又多了几条皱纹，又重了几斤，或是鼻子上冒出了一个大包。
你可能忘记了约会对象的名字，或是有张可笑的照片被登出来。
你或许被人抛弃，离了婚，或是被开除，当众出丑，被刻薄的绰号弄得心乱如麻，或许只因为你得整天顶着一个其丑无比的发型。
也许工作让你痛苦得如坐针毡。
你在强大的压力下顶替他人的位置，你的老板对你百般挑剔，办公室里的每一个都让你发疯。
你可能会头疼欲裂，或重心不稳跌个正着，口臭、牙痛、不停***、口干舌燥，或是指甲长到肉里头了。
不管什么原因，你确定上面有人不喜欢你。
唉，该怎么办，到底该怎么办呢？
嗯，你可能跟大部分人一样，随便找个东西躲起来，以为事情会自行解决。
结果你得花掉下半辈子的时间回头看，等着一次又一次重蹈覆辙。
最后你会变成一个易怒的、愤世嫉俗的，或者是个可怜兮兮的、哭哭啼啼的受害者。
最终你绝望地躺在地下，祈求地球将你吞没，或是沉迷在比利·乔的蓝调音乐中不能自拔。
这的确很蠢，因为你只能年轻一次，而且绝对不可能老两次。
谁会料到有什么奇妙的事情在拐角处等着你？
毕竟，这个世界充满着值得去探险挖掘的事，一些完全超乎想象的事，有着妙不可言、令人心醉神迷的香气，以及美味无比的点心与你分享。
嘿，你最后可能会非常富有，甚至某天会成为一个超级巨星。
听起来不错，不是吗？等一下，还有呢！
还有倒立和游戏可以玩，还有瑜伽、卡拉ＯＫ，以及狂野、激情四溢、放荡不羁的舞蹈。
但最棒的莫过于爱情。
那意味着如梦似幻的长久凝视、在耳边甜言蜜语、拥抱、拥吻、更多的拥吻，还有更多的拥吻，一个充满爱意的调皮的咬痕，或是两个，然后，嗯，什么事都有会发生。
你如何才能找到“仿佛滑入一个温暖的泡泡浴池”那种幸福的感觉呢？
其实很简单。
首先，停止逃避那些纷纷扰扰的纠纷，该是勇敢面对问题的时候了。
现在，稍稍地放松心情。
深呼吸，（从鼻子吸气，从嘴里呼气）试着沉思冥想，如果可以的话。
或是出去散散步，让头脑清醒一下。
接受既成事实，放下情绪包袱。
试着从不同的角度看问题。
也许你本身就是问题的症结所在。
如果事实如此，大大方方地去说声抱歉。（做这种事情永远不嫌晚）
如果是别人做得不对，勇敢地站出来大声说：“那是错误的，我绝对不支持这件事！”强硬一点没有什么不好。
（适时地发出嘘声的确是蛮不错的）为自己感到骄傲，但是别忘了适当的自嘲。（和心态明朗的人交往真是轻松多了）
把每一天过得就像是生命中的最后一天，因为它总有一天会来到。
别害怕去尝试仿佛超过能力所及的事情。
敢于冒巨大的风险。
不要畏缩不前，走出去，大胆尝试。
毕竟，生命的价值不就是如此吗？
我也是这样想的*^_^* |
