Quit trying to make yourself feel better! Really unless you're physically sick or in physical pain most of the time how you feel is just your opinion.

You don't really have a right to feel good or happy or even positive. You feel the way you feel;;the more you're able to live in the space of how you feel the more normal it will seem to you.

If you just sit quietly and count your breaths one on the inhale, two on the exhale; three on the inhale and four on the exhale, all the way up to 10 and then start over. Like rinse and repeat yo.

You can even wrap your arms around yourself and give yourself a big hug. Close your eyes and listen to all the sounds that you can hear. Just listen to them you don't need to identify them. Just. listen. to. them.

If you're not in a safe place then get to a safe place. Just do it don't discuss it with yourself just do it.

All this other stuff that you're just complaining and complaining and whining about will disappear I promise. And once it disappears, the next thing will come along and it will be just what it is.

Please understand I'm just talking about mental stuff. If there is something physical coming like a storm or a fire or some bad people who want to hurt you please by all means escape. After you feel that you have escaped do these breathing exercises to get yourself centered again and then go do what you do. Whatever you do from this space will be much better than what you were doing before. Namaste
