We all have those days where we just get so worked up or over-worked that it almost seems like the world is against you.
But we also have those things in our head n in our hearts that turns that shitty frown upside down, thus pushing us out of that tense mindset.
So my question to you is...

When you find yourself stressed or in that meaningless rut, what makes you realize that the world really isn't such a bad place n it is what you make it??
What gets you through your day(s)??

Well, those are two very distinct questions. For example, I don't think anyone in his right mind believes that "the world really is a beautiful place radiating with joy."

I like to envision people who had it so much tougher in the past or people who have it so much tougher today. Whenever I imagine them, I wither under their accusatory gazes that seem to suggest whatever I'm going through is a piece of cake. Proper perspective is a surefire antidote to exaggerated troubles of your own making.
 
I realize that love is truth and truth is love and that in this great cosmic illusion, our consciousness is a beautiful gift. I cherish the loved ones I have and the ones I don't. I find peace in knowing there is something larger than our material world. I look at all the things in nature that we haven't destroyed (yet!, haha). I look at the good side of people even when they care nothing of me.

2 polar opposite methods: same result
 
There's a lot of ways to get through a tough day. I like to daydream to pass time, whether it's about the last time I got good dome (it's been a while) or a triumphant moment in my life when I felt like a shining star. Sometimes I just anticipate how it will feel to finally get home and hit a blunt. Other times I think about how much money I'll save in the short term. Yet other times, I start reading about a really interesting new study or something I'm curious about, while time elapses. I try to use a variety of approaches because the same tactics don't always work. For example, what might work splendidly one day might have no effect on another day that's more dreary.
 
Cyclical

Music, as said - I suppose. Then, music also really can make me feel a whole lot worse. Sucks me into the already endless hole and keeps me there. But - at least it's warm like a blanket, and doesn't leave me. "I" get to take it off (or turn it off, if you don't follow) when I choose to.

Other than that (music) - the few glimpses of the one I love. That being said, this is also what makes me want to disappear, as I'll never again share life with aforementioned being.
