You wake up some days feeling very low, down in the pits and then you do not really know why you got into this. you wake up some days and feel bright and cheerful - but do you keep questioning yourself "Why am i so happy today?" . No you hardly ever, you just feel it and go with it. This should be applied to the days when you feel dull also, and it will all get easier. Its "not even funny" how situations can become easier once you stop asking questions.
Honestly, I am not the best at this but I have taken the tiny step long back to try to remember this - STOP ASKING QUESTIONS. PERIOD. You ask me why?? .. . there you go again...DINT I JUST WRITE THIS IN BOLD - STOP ASKING QUESTIONS. PERIOD. Simply because there is one more important sutra(a knowledge point) to remember - "Accept people and situations as they are" ... and that is the trick to getting into the "And this shall pass away too" mode.........because ASAP you start accepting, you drop the whole bag of questions. Because where will the questions get you anyways? They might lead to putting people or yourself in even more uncomfortable situations - you thought the questions were harder? Maybe the answers will be worse - in such situations "Ignorance is bliss" applies 100 percent. What you do not know does not hurt you as much....digest this or swallow it down with a pail of water, but once you get this in to your system - you can breath so much easier.
One important thing you would notice about the sutra - "Accept people and situations as they are" .... PEOPLE - very important. Its easy to fend off stuff on to other people and then keep bugging yourself "why did he do that" - No he did not. You yourself did it. You got yourself into this mess, you did something you always do or something for the first time but you goofed up.But its ok - PEOPLE includes yourself too - so pat yourself, say better luck next time or in the next round if you get the opportunity and move on - do not just sit there and be sore about it. Because every minute you feel low, you are depriving yourself of 60 seconds of peace of mind - your mental peace is in your own hands so take responsibility of guarding it, and guard it with your dayum life :) You feel low, do this - smile hard - bare all your teeth, brushed or un brushed, broken or beautiful, yellow mess or pearly whites...just do it....oooh...felt a lot better dint it...now smile harder...not just with your face but with you mind, body and soul....do it and you will feel peace taking all over you and you will be A - OK.
Meditation - I cannot emphasize it more - meditation is what lets the positive stuff stick to you and negative stuff just clings for a tiny bit but falls off right away. HEEEEEEE. I am grinning...I love this line, I love visualizing it ... and it has worked wonders for me this year in helping dropping off the loads of emotional baggage that I carried on me self (I know it needs to be myself, I just find it cute so stop correcting me :P ). working out feels good too...been doing that very regularly and it feels like you just made love to yourself...no kidding you feel like you did something real good to yourself, the pain and ache in the sore muscles just tired you out enough for your mind to stop thinking and letting stuff ease away .... eat well, sleep well, play well and then go to work. Awesome routine...no time for misery of any degree ..... did i just write that.....nice line i think .... "No time for misery" .... heheh....life is too good to be wasted in misery...every moment needs to be given the credit it deserves...
