Is it cynical of me to want to inspire calm and joy, even when I sometimes feel sad or stressed? And that leads me to this question: Must we be either happy or sad? Or is it possible to feel both? Can we even experience both calmness and restlessness at the same time?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My life isn\u2019t always a bed of roses, as I\u2019ve shared in the \u201cAbout Me\u201d section. That shows both between and on the lines. And life isn\u2019t a bed of roses for most people either. I started this profile because I care deeply about how we respond to difficult days. Along the way, I\u2019ve asked myself some questions I\u2019d love to explore with you:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Does anything really improve by only focusing on the negative and what\u2019s wrong?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Can we become too positive?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Can we feel sad when hearing birdsong?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Is the glass sometimes half empty instead of half full?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The questions are as diverse as the answers. There\u2019s no one right solution. Our perspective will shift \u2013 from day to day, or even hour to hour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In my experience, trying to stay positive can often brighten the day, for myself and for those around me. It\u2019s hard to stay in a bad mood when you truly listen to the beautiful birdsong. A lovely color in your craft project can lift your spirits. Soft yarn or a tasty meal can also bring joy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But if we become too focused on being positive, that can backfire. We are maybe ending up ignoring the fact that something is truly sad or scary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What if we simply allowed ourselves to be mindful? Notice smells, sounds, and sights. Feel what the wind or the yarn in our hands awakens in us. Take a deep breath and just be \u2013 with our thoughts and emotions. Allow it to be okay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maybe you\u2019re like me and sometimes notice a few deep, unplanned breaths. Those genuine breaths all the way down into your belly. After being here \u2013 both with the good and the difficult \u2013 the birdsong is maybe feeling more real. The colors around you are hopefully brighter. The feeling of wind or yarn is more tangible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re anything like me, you know it\u2019s okay. It\u2019s natural to be both sad and happy. Calm and a little stressed. Life holds it all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s not cynical \u2013 that\u2019s being alive, in both joy and struggle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So far, I\u2019ve never felt worse from noticing beauty around me. On the contrary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019d be so happy if you wanted to share your own thoughts or experiences. Feel free to contact me by email. You can also send a message on Instagram or Facebook. Alternatively, leave a comment below. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Life isn\u2019t just black or white \u2013 there are countless shades in between.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wishing you a beautiful day with birdsong and color.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Warmly,<br>Bente<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Want more mindful creativity in your inbox?<br>Download my free e-book and\/or Diary while joining the newsletter!<\/em><\/strong><br>If you choose both E-book and Diary, you&#8217;ll only receive one newsletter when they are sent out.
