"Distract Yourself - Keep Yourself Busy."
This is what everyone tells you when you are down in the dumps. Career is going nowhere, ur enjoying a non-existent love life, exams round the corner and parents screwing ur happiness along the way. And them some do-gooder soul, who has your best interests at heart will tell u those 5 words -"Jus Focus on Something Else" or "Distract Yourself - Keep Yourself Busy."
Ummmm Helllooooo, NOOOOO. I always like to face the issues - Right now and Right here. If things do not go your way, if some one has screwed you over --- life has brought you to your knees, is distracting yourself the answer? The answer for me, lies in these 3 easy steps:
1)Whine, Yell, Cry, Complain, Be Miserable --- hey we all are human! right?
Seriously ur not a robot from some alien planet where ppl behave like they dont feel anything, no point being an ice princess, jus feel what u want to feel !!! Whenever i would get super pissed or super emotional about something or someone what i do is: i) confront and yell or ii) write a super pissed of letter (dont send it though) or iii) do all of the above. Trust me, it feels frikking awesome to release ur frustations on the offending parties shoulder :P
2) Make a plan - and then do it.
Take out a pen and paper, write wht u want frm life and prepare short steps on how to get it. Then do those steps. Does not matter if you dont end up doing what u have planned, the sense of direction and purpose will give you a all new high.
3) Move On - its a pain, but do-able.
Seriously, now that half your problem is solved (ie emotions released and you have a plan), you should be able to get up one morning and look at the problem, shrug ur shoulder and gooo "huh." LIKE U DONT CARE, cause face it, at this point u dont. So jus accept it and move on.
Finnally, a piece of advice for those do-gooder souls, who jus cant wait to unload their "gyaan" on friends, please dont. Jus buy that poor unhappy soul a strong drink, make em laugh and give a nice loong tiiiggght hug, Thats all they want.....
