I’ll be Alright…

Life is such a baffling proposition that I’m often awed by the ONE who conceived it. But the thing that perplexes me most about it is the uncertainty. How fast it seesaws between the shades of joy and sorrow. Or, how fast it oscillates between an inviting and a melancholic future. Or, how just a small inconsequential thing sends everything spiraling downwards? Bewildering right?
Something which seems right at one moment gets pushed to the deepest of abysses at the very next. 
Why is it so hard to be happy at times? Don’t you wonder?
There are occasions when we might do everything right, follow every rule to the tee but all that awaits at the other end is disappointment. Why does that happen?
At such forks in life we begin questioning our worth, doubting our journey so far and sometimes even avoiding the future.
I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that our happiness rests on those we love or on transient aspects of life. While all that is fine and absolutely normal, I think it is beneficial to remind ourselves from time to time that we are good enough too. Just tell ourselves as often as we can that we are the best of what we can be, that we are making the best effort to live with our quirks and short comings. It is imperative that we stay happy with ourselves too.
You know from the moment I woke up today I have been feeling blue; an uneasiness perhaps. I don’t know why. Just one of those days probably. So I thought why not do an exercise today, in tune with taking it easy on the blog topic front this week?
I think it is beneficial to remind ourselves from time to time that we are good enough too.
Why not remind myself that I’m good enough too? Why not pat my own back? Not about the good people or things that surround me just for being ME. A list perhaps of all that is me? Who knows I might end up feeling better at the end of it?
What do you say? Shall I give it a try?
Did I hear you say YES?
Alright then. Here goes!
I’ll be alright since….

I’m a beautiful person at heart.
I’m independent and that’s liberating.
I don’t fear travelling alone.
I’m like a bird who flies at her own will.
I’m not afraid to cry when it hurts.
I don’t pretend to like someone if I don’t. I’m real.
I’ve my own views, opinions and I’m definitely not apologetic about it.
I remember my hurts, they make me strong.
I cut off people who upset me from my life for I know I’m better off without them.
I try to solve most of my problems myself. I like to be in control.
I get depressed and I’m not ashamed of showing my feelings.
I don’t change into anyone’s doormat to get my purposes served.
I get angry too but that’s alright for I’m human and not a puppet.
I’m weak sometimes but I know how to hold myself strong in spite of that.
I can be devastated but still I can walk the distance if need be.
I sulk, I fret, at times regret but that’s all me and I like me.
I know I’ll be alright!

Well, that’s the list. Though it didn’t completely turn my frown upside down but I think I’ll get there. At least, whenever I feel low I can see the list and start feeling better.
Wait. Why don’t you do a list too? Once in a while it’s alright to applaud your own self you know!

  2. This was wonderful. What a great idea to make that affirmation list! I must try that, too. I get blue days, too, and don't always understand why. I subscribe to Queen of your own life on Facebook and they give lovely daily affirmations to remind women to love ourselves daily and that we are enough.

    And yes, you are ENOUGH and then some! Celebrate your greatness daily.

  3. I loved this and needed this so badly today. I wa thinking why people can't be happy and accept as we are? Why they try so much to change us to someone who's even remotely not us? Sometimes we need to kick these so called dear ones form our life to be happy. And yes girl, we are just enough. <3

  4. I think it helps to remind yourself of how great you are. It is so easy to get caught up with everything that is wrong. I know I struggle with it. You rock…make no mistake about it!

  5. We need to do this, at least once a month, Naba! What a positive, affirmative post. You are more than enough, my dear. Way more than enough!

  6. You are important….God doesnt send anyone if they cannot make a difference. How much ever tiny . Even if we dont notice it. 🙂
    You have such a positive vibe attached to you 🙂

  8. Naba, I so agree when you said you felt uneasy and blue when you got up, the good part is you shrugged it with a 'its one of those days'. I believe we have a universe within us and if we decide we can do all we want to be happy, isnt it. The list is an instant energy booster, i am going to make one for myself too. Thank you for a new thought. And cheer up girl.

  9. We are good , everyone is good .. someone who is bad to us is sure to be good to someone in the world ..

    this is such a positive one ,, very true .. so what .. lets just shrug off the gremlins and have the attitude to bring it on .. everything is always fine ..

    take care and all the best

    "I will be all right" is a lovely song from Dostana Hindi movie 🙂

  15. loved the post! The reason I love it when people appreciate their presence in their own life. When people are happy just to be themselves
