Is life a downward spiral?
I feel that life starts to get worse after the second your born. im by no means a pecamist but it seems as though life is best when you are a baby, everything is taken care of for you, you can do whatever you want ect then by the time your a teenager you still have many freedoms and fun but life starts to suck with school ect. by the time you get out of school and have a job your burdens and responsibility outweigh your fun for the most part and when your old it almost seems as though you have the ultimate burden looming which is death. i dont know thats just how i see it. what do you think?
I feel like my life is a downward spiral.?
I just feel like everything I do, everything I've done, has no purpose. Like I'm doomed to get a job, have kids, and die. That'll be it. I'm in high school, and I haven't gone out with friends or done something outside of school in a year because nobody likes me and I don't have friends. I don't even feel sad, I feel empty. What's wrong with me? Anonymous · just now
How do you know if your life is on a downward spiral?
I’ve always worked on the basis that it starts with a small ‘knock’ then when you think you have ridden that out, something else comes along. It’s one set back after another. ou start to feel as if you are out of synch with the Universe and that God has it in for you. Whatever you do, it is or goes, wrong. You cannot do right for doing wrong. I’ve found that about every ten years I get a period like this. My worst lasted a good few years the shortest about 3 months.For perspective, over the last 6 years I have had about 5 heart attacks, yet I don’t consider that as a downward spiral because everything else has been pretty much ok. As such that means that within the next four years I expect I will hit a downward spiral. Before I start to feel out of synch with the universe I will try and get back in synch.Jump the gun, so to speak. I will look at my lifestyle and see what would be beneficial to change. Examples being, do I go out regularly drinking? I don’t but if I did(and I did) I would change that. Have I done anything ‘nice’ or charitable lately? If not, I would correct that(Again, done previously). I’m a great believer in Karma and what goes around comes around.The big question is, does it work? I would say yes. Hunker down, look at the changes you can make and remember, it will stop eventually, just sooner if you help it along and if you need help to do that, ask for it.
How do I get out of this downward spiral?
Stop flushing your mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical awareness down the toilet.You need to take four different kinds of actions.Anytime you have a negative thought, shout to yourself inside your head, “CANCEL NOW!” Immediately replace the negative thought with a charged positive one. Write on paper a couple of’em and memorize so it’ll be easier to whip out when the time comes.Depression. You are not an object. You are a living, breathing, feeling human being. You need physical movement. Three times or more per week. Get out in nature, HIKE. Work out at home or gym. Go for walks. Push ups. Sit ups. Lift weights. Yoga. Explore the city. Any type of physical movement will start to get your blood moving.Procrastination. You have to start somewhere. Start small. Take immediate action even on the tiniest detail. Put things away asap instead of waiting for a more “comfortable” time. Motivation starts with discipline. Wake up an hour earlier. Meditation. Take cold showers (practice the WIM HOF method). Martial arts. Schedule things so that you can plan ahead and take care of two or more things at once. Think about a bright future everyday so that you can take care of things today to get there.Guilt is probably the most difficult to combat since it’s deeply ingrained in your emotional awareness from childhood. Guilt is an emotional mechanism that triggers you into feeling bad about yourself anytime something in life goes against your belief system. The only way to lift yourself out of guilt is to become 100% comfortable with who you are no matter what the nay sayers think.The good news. You have time on your side. Time heals. Forgiveness enables you to move forward.You need to detach the cowardly cloak from your neck. You seemed to be wearing it proudly as though you are a super hero of fear.Become a batman. Do not be afraid of the night.Soar higher. Face your fears. Slay’em with courage.Be brave.
A sad downward spiral of a young life?
A guy I knew joined the army and it turned his life around. Contact them- they might have pograms for younger people or know of programs. Otherwise, you're obviously not academically inclined- fair enough! So what are you good at and what do you enjoy? And don't say 'nothing' because there will be something- if you can't think of it try and find it! I'm the sort of person who only really has self discipline when it comes to things enjoy- I studied in a creative field and worked like a maniac whereas I know if I'd picked something else I probably would have failed miserably. I very much doubt you're a stupid person- you will find something that you want to do! You're only 16, you don't need to know where you're life is going just yet- you just need to get out there and find things that you enjoy. Go skiiing! You might enjoy it so much you decide to become an instructor! As for a job- join a placement agency and don't be picky. Goodluck!
My life is on a downward spiral for quite some time now. I am fed up struggling for so long. What should I do to keep myself motivated?
Talk to people. Play games that distract you. Read it watch videos about other people who have gone through the same or are still doing so. I was going through a very bad phase and unfortunately my friends and family couldn't help much because I took their kindness for pity. These situations require you to meet new people, talk to strangers and completely forget about what's going on. First step is to stop pitying yourself and let go. What happened has happened and there is nothing that going to change it.But what's to come can change completely if you change your approach. Try this game called Quizup, you can meet people from all around the world on it and talk about similar interests. Be thankful for what you have and all will start falling into place. I promise
