snoozi8 Posted June 24 Author Report Share Posted June 24 yeah the only thing that gets me through the week is knowing I'll hear some really good music and lose myself in it.....Joe, that's me now if I have any successful attempts in trying other methods of getting thru I'll let you know...

phatman Posted June 24 Report Share Posted June 24 My main mantra is not about Happiness but Acceptance:Embrace Your FurrinessEmbrace Your FurrinessIt's one of my away messages.I also say:Let it go, Let it flow (The Way of the Peaceful Warrior)OrNot a mantra, but a big pause and a thought:"What the f-ck are you reall upset about? "(that will usually put it all in perspective and if it doesnt a big scoop of Ben & Jerrys does the trick) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ananda Project - Cascades of Color (track 4 on DT London disc 1, if that helps at all...)I also think of things in terms of "spheres of influence"... some things are quite simply beyond my control (i.e., outside my sphere of influence), therefore it's not worth it for me to get worked up about them, since no amount of stress or worries will change them. That kind of "oh well" thinking has also helped me a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liteflyr Posted June 25 Report Share Posted June 25 i'm not one to get upset or mad easily but if i do, i jus tell myself it's not worth getting upset over, deal and get over it. usually i'll call one of my friends and we'd talk for a couple hours, and it gets me in a better mood.if not, music, writing, or drawing - anything i like to do - helps too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just look at everything... and say "wow... this sucks... what the fuck do I even bother waking up in the morning for..." yeah i can completely relate to that...but usually i'll just play a cd that energizes me and that i can sing to - like tool or something equally aggressive/emotionally charged - and/or write/sketch...by the end of the cd i realize i was being ridiculous by worrying and i'm off on my merry way....

barvybe Posted June 25 Report Share Posted June 25 u don't need a mantra - just realize the following: without pain their is no joy or pleasure, without depression there is no happiness. you can't enjoy the highs if you have no lows to compare them to - u just can't appreciate them.so, just repeat to yourself: "LIfe is pain. What doesn't kill me makes me stronger" and you will be pleasantly surprised at how many things better than that happen to you each day.
