“You were given life, it is your duty (and also your entitlement as human being) to find something beautiful within life, no matter how slight.” 
Eat, Pray, Love – Elizabeth Gilbert

I had some not really nice experiences today. I had the first public Yoga Restorative class in the studio I’m teaching and it was kind of under my expectation. I got some good responses from my students but I still feel like I could make it even better. Maybe because I was expecting too much as it’s the first class. Maybe because I expected more people to come. Maybe because of my ex’s appearance at the same time.

Then let’s talk about my ex and our relationship. I will not mention how we started and how we were no longer boyfriend and girlfriend but today is my first day I see him again after more than one year. I wanted to talk about our relationship and ask him further about how we finished but I just didn’t have enough courage to do that. We were talking like nothing happened, like we’ve never ever had a relationship before but I still feel really weird.

Both of those things gave me a feeling of something missing, of emptiness…

But as I mentioned at the title, there’s always something can make your day no matter how little or how late it is. We always can find it if we really want to focus on the positive things. For me today that was the call to one of my best friend, just to tell him about my day and listen to him speak some German. (By the way, German words is becoming really beautiful to me, especially when my friend speaks it. I told him that his voice is so amazing to my ears but actually I should have said that it’s the most amazing voice that I want to hear :P) That’s enough to clear my not really nice emotions, my emptiness. Now I feel like nothing can bring me down as long as my friend is always there for me whenever I need. This is really important to me. I’m not stronger myself, I’m stronger because I know I always can take the support and I’m so proud of it.

I know for most people it’s not easy to think positive while we’re really deep in bad thoughts and bad emotion but everything is possible to learn. We can learn to overcome the negativity just as easy as you learn to stand or to walk. The first thing you need to do is be aware of your emotions and your thoughts. Notice them without judging. Accept that you’re feeling bad, try to dig deeper if you can. After recognizing it, allow yourself to looking for the help, either from your family or your friend, they are always there for you if you open yourself and let them know about how you are feeling. You always can try many other methods if you want. Going for a walk, watching a comedy, doing something crazy…Believe that you are creative and you always can find the solution if you really want. For me, this one is the best. It’s always beautiful to take the support from your love ones.

What is the beauty of your day today?
