How I turn bad situation into
something good?
I take a pause and process my feelings. It is not an easy step yet
taking a pause can help me think where all of these things inside me
came from. Bad situations may be a real situation or something that
I just overthink. Sometimes, in a world of productivity, it is so
hard to make time for you to process so I make time for it by waking
up earlier than I usually do, journaling and praying for it. I also
talk to my loved ones about it. BTW, it is not their advice alone
that turn me optimistic, it is my decision that I made, to step
forward and move on.
Turning being annoyed to
being calm
This is one of the hardest especially since this one's tested every
day. When I read faith-based books, I realized that there is no such
thing as an evil person. People seem bad because someone molded them
to become one. As I turn my annoyance towards other people because
of their silly actions, I always take a deep breathe and remember
these two quotes:

"Hurt people, hurt people." and "Madaling makipagtalo, mas radikal


ang magmahal."
From being depressed to
feeling enthused
It may seem that both of them are though, hence I still want to say
that every time I feel depressed, it feels like it is a motivation
for me to conquer. Feeling depressed was genetically passed to me by
my Father and his death constantly reminds me that fighting and
winning over it is something I can be proud of. It is a tough
challenge yet it is molding me not to end up like him. Every time I
feel this, I cope with it by crying and talking about it. It may
sound that I am such a needy person but knowing yourself and what
you really need is a sign of maturity.
Being anxious into
thinking optimistic
Along with my faith in Jesus, I also believe that whatever you
manifest, it comes close to you. I am an overthinker, and being
anxious is part of it. To be honest, this one takes a little bit
longer to process than the real bad situation. As I conquer this
feeling, I declare (to myself) that positive energy and good things
are more powerful than darkness. Light will shine upon me. I
manifest that rainbow will show up after the rain. These are the
things that made me feel optimistic!
How I get energized again
after being tired?

Rest is essential. Not only physically but in all aspects of our


lives. One thing I learned in this pandemic is there are times that
you don't need to achieve or do something. You can just exist for a
moment then when you get the energy to function again, start doing.
By doing so, it makes you more productive and happier.
From being disinterested
to being interested
I shared this several times with every people who ask me why I am
taking Public Administration. I already lost my interest in law, and
things related to Philippine Politics yet when I researched and
think of how I can make an impact if I pursue this, I became
interested in this course. Same with things I am once against. I
take time understanding things why it needs to be part of my life,
and then from that, I start feeling interested about it.
Changing discouragement
into something exciting
If it is not me, then there is something better coming. This belief
of mine happened in my life, so when a door closes for me, there is
something waiting for me to discover. The quest is not yet done I
need to continue seeking.
Feeling overwhelmed to
being challenged
Just like in a buffet, we all have the same sizes of plates. We have
a lot of choices of food to put on it. I believe that in order for
those to fit in one plate is to get what's enough and don't
overflow. When I feel overwhelmed, I think that there is an aspect
that took most of me so I write about it. The things that I do, the
things that consume most of my time, energy, and strength, and
finally organize it. Learning to say no, saying yes to discipline.
And that's where I am always challenged.
Embrace
or Resist?
Not like our physical body, emotional,
social, and mental health grow too. It
is in our hands if we allow it or not.
When I was younger, I hated changes
yet as I grow older, I realized that
in order for me to exist in harmony, I
must embrace changes. I am still a
work in progress but I see myself now,
embracing changes :)
