Harness the Power of Thinking Positive – The Universe is listening

stay positive the universe is listening

Happy weekend Ladies!

Call it “The Secret” or what you want. But there is a grain of truth in how the universe treats you depending on how YOU feel.

Personally, I’ve experienced some really down moments when all you really want to do is to dig yourself into a hole and hide away from the world and cry. Times when nothing goes right and everything you do goes wrong, people ignore you, you say the wrong things, people get mad at you, you get mad at people, your skin breaks out, your makeup looks crap … its a vicious cycle, if you notice. And the more sorry you feel for yourself, the deeper down you spiral.

When you are mad or down, you will find yourself picking at the smallest thing and blowing it up into something big, be it in reality or in your mind. Everything looks wrong and you start going “Why me?”

Over the recent years, when things start going belly up, I pick myself up and force myself to look on the bright side and to think positive. There are always 2 sides to everything, I’ve learnt. You can wallow in the dark side or look on the brighter side and go from there. There is a lot one can learn from Star Wars LOL!

But seriously, I’ve found that when I look on the brighter more positive side of things, the dark clouds don’t hover too long and everything will start taking a turn for the better. It takes a lot of effort to smile when you feel like crying, but it gets easier as you go along and soon those smiles will be unforced.

And when I stay positive, good things are easier to come by and they come by more often. Be it a friend dropping a line out of the blue to say hello, meeting a new friend you get along with, a fun event I might be invited to, or just good things in general. And skin breakouts heal a lot faster too!

So, hard as it is, do not underestimate the power of thinking positive. The Universe is listening and watching.

This feelgood message is brought to you by…

Paris B 🙂

    I agree that it is important to think positive. I’ve seen people around me unable to enjoy what is an otherwise comfortable life because they were so focused on picking on the negative aspects of very trivial issues. Life will always have its ups and downs, so might as well enjoy what we can 🙂

      Yup! You are absolutely right. There’s no point dwelling on the negatives when we can look at the positives 🙂

    PARTEY TIME!!! :DHope to see you someday!

      You are one of the most positive people I know! And knowing what you went through and are going through, I’m sure your positive attitude is making a difference to everyone around you too. I’m sure we’ll meet some day. Come soon! 🙂

    Thanks for the smart reminder, PB! Ah, I can be a horribly pessimistic person at times and I have a tendency to simply break down and stop functioning when I my expectations seem far-fetched. When I start to get going and put things into perspective, it doesn’t get too bad but it’s not often that I do!

      We just have to take it a step at a time. I’ve learnt that anything big can be tackled if we start breaking it down into small bite sized pieces. Glad that you realize how you can pick yourself up!

      It is! Just don’t expect the impossible. I find that being positive attacts more positive things so anything negative seems less daunting

An “I’ll be out all day and need my makeup to An “I’ll be out all day and need my makeup to stay on” look 😅 Super simple and using stuff I already own. How many do you recognise? 😅 

For the base I think the key is the Nars setting powder which is basically a silica powder. Many brands have similar white powder for setting. I did this same look yesterday and it barely budged/faded by evening. Only lipstick needed a little topping up 😊 

And this is about all the makeup I can handle these days 😂 no eye makeup cos I can’t be arsed 🤪

Excellent good fun! 😆 Your eyes always want more than your stomach can handle. Ate a lot and bought even more food back home. Diet? What diet? 😂

Posting for posterity because I like this photo 😆 Also hello! 😜

It’s interesting that when I meet people they always ask me “Are you still blogging?” which tells me they don’t read my blog anymore (cos if they did they’d know I am lol! Weekly generally, but still writing) Yet I don’t blame them because a lot of social credit is placed on one’s Instagram presence. This I fear, is an area I am lacking. I pop in every now and then, share stories that are totally unrelated to what people follow me for, then wonder why they unfollow lol! Other times, spider webs gather in the corners of my unused account. I don’t blame them. Not everyone wants to know what my dogs are up to 😜

Anyway I make no apologies. It’s ok if you follow. It’s ok if you don’t. It’s ok if you’re interested in stuff I do. It’s ok if you’re not. Life goes on for both you and I and ultimately, we just both want it to be happy. So do what makes you happy 😊 I’ll still share my beauty finds and I still blog once a week. I may share what I’m up to from time to time, or I may not. I can tell you that I’m keeping busy and that I have a lot on my plate, none of it glamorous unlike that of most content creators/influencers. It’s too boring for most for me to share here so I’ll just share the good bits - as Instagram intended 😂

But if you want to find me, you’ll know how 😊

The review for the product is somewhere on the blog mywomenstuff.com
Yes I know many of you are terrified of lizards 🦎🫣

But I liked this sunscreen - for the body. Even though it left a white cast. Even though it is hard to remove. It kept my arms protected through a weekend of brutal sun exposure and I survived without burning! ✌🏻
