5 Ways to overcome Negative Thoughts

I don’t care how positive of a person you are, once in a while everyone is bound to go to that deep dark place. I’ve been there well too many times.  I am going to provide you with 5 steps that is going to help you.

Everyone has a way that works to get out of negativity. It works differently for everyone . But the following are few ways that are known top ways to help move your mind forward.  It’s not going to one, two easy but reputation will work.

1. MOVE /Movement :

This one I think is pretty tough. When we are down and depressed, we tend to sit and stall in one place. It’s hard to move and your thoughts are way to heavy. You must physically get up and walk away from that quick sand. Get out of the house or wherever you are . Just move, it gets your blood flowing creating a sense of freedom.

2. Music

Music really is the gateway to the soul. Listen to uplifting, inspirational music. Give it about 20 minutes to kick in. Lie down on the floor and put your headphones on. Go outside and sit down and just listen to good music that will soothe your soul. I always found music to heal me, whether I was angry, down, sad or really not able to move. It just puts a sealant on your soul.

3. Write

This step has been always been one of my favorites. When you are down or going through anything in life, we actually need to let all those emotions out. It’s hard to speak to a friend, family member or even someone you really truly trust. Sometimes you just dont want to talk to anyone, that is the beauty of writing. Get a journal, or make one online b/ make it private. You can also pull up your notes app on the phone and just start writing. Write your true and raw feelings, emotions, every bit and piece that you are experiencing, that you would not fully disclose to anyone. This will help to clear your soul.

4. Get out and about

This part is kind of difficult, because you really don’t want be around anyone. It is really important for you to get out and be around the world. You do not need to talk to anyone, but you need to walk, move, breathe and experience different settings. Even if it’s to go to a park, mall, library, walk on the streets, coffee shop. Just go. Get out and be in the world, do not engage, but be there. You will notice, the change in your mind, when you are observing the world, looking around, breathing, feeling, and just seeing a bigger picture. It will get you distracted, even if it is temporarily.

5. Last but not least, Feed yourself positive thoughts

What I mean by this is quiet simple. At one point, I had so much clutter in my head that I could not breathe. I was walking outside, it wasn’t feeling that great still. All of a sudden, I started to tell myself positive things. I told myself that I am strong, brave and amazing. I just kept chanting these few words in my head over and over again. Within a few minutes, my mind started to clear. I started to breathe, and felt relieved. Whatever your mantra is, you make it and you tell yourself.

There are many things you can do to de-stress yourself, get out of the negative space and be an amazing person. These I believe are the top 5, which have always time to time helped me till today. I am not ashamed to say I have downfalls, that I am emotional, because that’s what being a human is. We are emotional creatures, may one thing be more overtaking on our soul than others, but we are run by emotions.

Please let me know if these have helped you, or what else you do that helps you.

May makeup look

 

Hey guys,

 

I am back with my makeup look for the month and what I have used to achieve this dewy, glowy goddess look. I started out with prepping the skin with moisturizer, and face oil.

The combination of using moisturizer and face oil is intense hydration. It literally makes your skin look “plump”. You combine your favorite moisturizer with a nice face oil and simply pat not rub into skin from cheek to cheek, forehead chin and neck.

After this I use my favorite toofaced foundation. The great thing about this foundation is that, it itself has a glowing result.

$39 Too faced  ( it is not dense , or oily )

 Blush by Becca – Camelia – Ballerina pink ( I think if you use your middle finger to apply onto your cheeks it gives it a natural subtle finish

Lipgloss is back ladies !! get ready to shine 😉 – Anastasia RIO- Tropical Pink – $16

 Just a hint of this bronzer on the cheeks $29

 This baby ( Champagne -Becca $38) on cheeks , jawline, lids, neck and chest blended out for a summer perfect glow

 

KEEP shining ladies

Cutex Advanced Revival Nail Polish Remover Pads REVIEW!!!

I recently had the pleasure of trying these nail polish remover pads by #cutex. I have to say I love it one pad is enough for all ten nails for the dirtiest colors. Cutex patented formula is designed to remove polish faster than any other brand, and features an exclusive combination of ingredients that will help strengthen and nourish your nails while moisturizing and softening your cuticles at the same time.

 

The pads are big and thick and do not leak the remover. It also doesn’t stink and comes in individual packs so you can take them on the go anywhere. The advanced formula is the one I have tried and that one combines botanical oils with Cutex’s patented remover formula that strengthens and nourishes nails after just one use.

 

Surgery and recovery of Lasik

This a follow up of my surgery and recovery of getting lasik. I had my surgery done a little while ago. Had to buy couple of antibiotic kind of drops which cost a lot even off of insurance. But you do need them. You use 1 drops starting I believe the day or two days before the surgery. The day of surgery you go in when it’s your time, I tell you it is so quick and pain free, but there is bit of discomfort and pressure. Besides that you cant see when they are operating on you. It is quite amazing, well also since they block off one eye. The procedure is about 20 – 25 minutes and once you are done the doctors examines your eyes and sends you home with set of rules that you must follow.

Okay so the day when you go home you’re suppose to rest for few hours no going anywhere or looking at anything. Take a nap or sleep. And also put eye drops as directed.

You do see much clearer. Follow the exact directions your doctors told you. Also stock up on the “NON-PRESERVATIVES” eye drops because if you try to be a smart ass like me and get the one ones w/o it will mess with your eyes. My eyes were so dry and vision was bad for few weeks because I was using the drops in bottle rather than the preservative free individual vials. Also get Soothe XP Emollient drops, you are allowed to use them, but still ask your doctor for your own eyes just in case. For me these have worked wonders in keeping them moisturized along with the reg. drops and intake fish oils. Along with this use heat pack for eyes to keep them from loosing moisture.

I have been following this regime strictly and slowly by slowly my vision is getting better, clearer and my eyes are healing nicely. It is very important to take care of your eyes once you have them operated.

I think it is def. worth the money but remember your eyes get very very dry especially in winter. Which can very much so impact your vision and make it blurry. So keep them very hydrated and it takes time for them to heal so just be patient and don’t freak out.
