Having positive memories helps outweigh the negative feelings. It’s effective how, when I’m in a terrible mood, I always think back to when there were zero problems. I had no worries, no feelings of resentment, none of that. I could tell myself that I wish I could go back to those simpler times, but that’s stupid. Wishing alone will never come true unless something is physically done about it.
For me, if I put the effort into fixing what’s wrong with me, everything will return back to normal. As long as I know and assess the problem I have, the negative feelings will go away. Tonight, I took a long time thinking about why I was angry. Then I compared it with when I never got angry, and reminded myself how much more significant that time period was. I want things to go back to the way they used to be. I will achieve that again, all I need to do is try and get over my problem.
The problem I’m having is due to miscommunication. Whenever I’m angry, I never tell anyone. I automatically assume that they know, and expect them to comfort me. I believe the only way to fix that problem is to say exactly what’s bothering me, instead of keeping them in the dark and totally oblivious to my emotions. The bad thing is, I encourage that people let others know whatever is on their mind, but I’m being a massive hypocrite because I tell people to do this, when I’m not following this advice myself, at all. I know my problem now, and it’s going to change.
