Negative to positive mental state

Many hurtful things happen in life which badly hurt us, or end-up breaking us. These hurtful things or incidents can damage our personality and have many ever-lasting effects. I have learned that the key to alleviating our self from these long-lasting negative effects, is to finding the strength to cope with those events. The longer a person stays in that hurtful state, the worse it is for that person's mental and physical health. A quick transition from that hurtful and negative mental state, to a normal or positive mental state is very, very critical. Our resilience and recovery should be very speedy, and it requires strength inside us and support from our loved ones.

The issue here lies in finding the strength in that mental state, and how soon we can find that strength. We are very weak and fragile during that state, this makes our existence even more vulnerable and prone to collapsing. If the transition is not fast from negative to positive, our emotions get trained to become negative and fidgety, not only towards ourselves but with others as well. If we take a long time in recovering, and spend a lot of time in that negative state, we can easily forget to live a happy life, as we will slowly forget the meaning of being optimistic and positive.

This negative mental state is where most of the sensitive souls get stuck for long periods of times. This is the state where darkness, depression, negativity, frustration, and anger lies. We begin to complain to our selves and to our Lord. We begin to think that everything is useless and get suicidal thoughts. This very moment either breaks, or makes,  a person. That determines the type of our life, and the quality of our future.

In this type of situation, it is very important for us to get some spiritual guidance. Many people seek therapy which is also equivalent to seeking guidance and dumping our emotions out of our spirit. We then learn to train our emotions to act in a positive and healthy way which can bring us out of that negative state. We need to be prepared for these incidents. Make yourself strong and positive now, while you have the chance. Face those moments with courage and spiritual strength. Do your homework and seek spiritual guidance, even when you're not in that state, so that it prepares you to face those painful moments of transition in a healthy way.
