"The Pit of Shit"

No money... Annoyed... Angry... Mess... Noise... Burn't toast... Late... Rushed... Tense... Worried... Scared... Cold Tea... Split Ends... Useless... No Good... Bags Under Your Eyes... Tired... Rubbish...

Experienced any of these?

It takes courage and determination to get yourself  out of feeling miserable... but sometimes life takes you to these places.... and do you know what??.. It's ok to feel. I mean if we weren't to feel we wouldn't be human... everyone has their downs in life and we all experience different challenges and hardships, in many ways.

You can end up in a very dark place.. this place I call "the pit of shit" the more you throw your toys out of your pram, feel rubbish the more "shit" gets chucked in! It can go on and on until you can hardly breath and it can be the hardest climb of your life to get out... quite literally.

So...  How do I get out? How do I get out of feeling like this?

Everyone has different coping mechanisms... it's a life lesson to learn... how to pick yourself up and carry on. Like the First World war tune says, "Pack up your trouble's in your old kit bag and smile, smile, smile." There is no right or wrong. And we musn't judge one person's way of dealing with life's difficulties to another. 

Whatever you have been through however big or small is important because you feel it!

Through my blog i'm going to share with you my experiences, coping mechanisms and what I love and makes me happy. And through my journey I hope to inspire and bring happiness to you. :)

The first nudge I'll leave you with is: to live a life in misery, let's face it would be miserable! But to live a life in happiness would be amaazzzing! So... climb out of your pit, breath the fresh air, you're alive, you're here.....  Let's go! :)
