The vicious circle of negativity

I think I have been quite negative in the past two weeks. If you look at the past few blogs, you can sense it. There is obviously a reason.
I have had a lot of bad news in the past two weeks. One after another. That is why even the slightest bad news made me spiral into negativity. That is how negativity works.
When things start going bad your mind only looks at the negative. Any kind of situation happens you turn it into a negative. You start remembering all the bad things that have happened recently and your head kind of explodes.
That is what happened. I tried resisting it but I did give in. Sometimes you just have to accept that you are going through a bad time. You can’t just turn everything into a positive.
If you are someone going through a similar phase, take things slow. Do small things that make you feel better. Just understand that it is a phase. It will pass. Don’t try to fight it.
