Ray Of Sunshine

How is it possible to stay positive when you feel like the entire world is crashing down on you???

This is a question that most of us ask ourselves at one point or another in time. Obviously, all of us cope differently in hard times. Here is a list that of ways that have worked for me:

1. Confide in a friend, family member, or significant other.
2. Listen to some "feel good" music that makes me nostalgic.
3. Create a list of all the things I am thankful for in my life. Usually with this one, I keep the list displayed in a visible place or keep it handy for when the blues strike again.
4. Take a deep breath.
5. Journal, Journal, Journal!
6. Write or read poetry.

Please feel free to add questions, comments, or your own items to the list I started!
