"What Inspires You When Nothing Else Can?" I got to thinking about this question rather seriously, and what I discovered was interesting.
The spirit of the question was intended as "When you can't get yourself going, what do you do to get going?" Inspirational quotes, thoughts, videos, poems, stories, etc.

And while I use those on a regular basis, if we don't take them in fully, they become just more platitudes and cliches for false positive thinking.

In my serious discovery, I decided to take the question further and explore it from a "Dark Night of the Soul" perspective. In other words, what can we do when we experience life as so beyond miserable that NOTHING else can inspire us?

The answer surprised me...
When *nothing* else can, only 1 thing works:

Entertaining distraction.

That's because when life seems miserable, your mind is so consumed by a negative state that it can't even recognize there's a positive aspect to the world. This negativity becomes a habit so bound to your psychological state that it can only be broken by completely severing your connection to that negativity.
That isn't easy because it requires an equal and opposite consuming force.

Something so consuming that you completely forget about the negativity long enough to break the downward spiral your mind is in.

And in a moment where you lack even the basic self-awareness to realize you're in a deeply negative state and you don't want to be, there's almost nothing you can do to bring yourself up.

That's why in my experience with extreme circumstances, entertainment and distraction are the keys to opening that door. It becomes a way that the mind can literally "forget" about the negativity. All it takes is a small crack to let a little bit of the light in.

There's two things to keep in mind about this though:
(1) Make sure that your entertaining distraction includes humor and/or inspiration.
No horror movies. No purely action flicks. No dramas. All of those will only serve to reinforce your negative state in one way or another.
Instead, fill your mind with stories of success and triumph. Fill your heart with moments of laughter and joy. In other words: choose something that can help align you with the way you'd like to live.

(2) Don't make the entertaining distraction a habit of its own.
When you do that, you're only trading one distraction for another. And while it may feel better, it perpetuates the lie of positive thinking. That keeps you from living a truly happy and fulfilled life.

Instead, see the entertaining distraction as a momentary gateway to lift you up. From that initial lift, start re-using your personal transformation tools: meditation, affirmations, brainwave entrainment, EFT, and whatever else you can think of.
The entertainment and distraction won't heal the fundamental problems that brought you into a negative state.

Only self-awareness has that ability.

Still, when you find yourself completely down and out... in a negative hole you can't find your way out of -- find an entertaining distraction. And if at all possible, one that will make you laugh.
If you can find a laugh, you can find a light. 🙂

As we celebrate women's day today. I like to say, thank you to the most amazing kind and loving woman that was and will always be part of my life. Happy Women's Day "MUM".
Why Women Cry
A little boy asked his mother, "Why are you crying?" "Because I'm a woman," she told him.
"I don't understand," he said. His Mom just hugged him and said, "And you never will."
Later the little boy asked his father, "Why does mother seem to cry for no reason?"
"All women cry for no reason," was all his dad could say.
The little boy grew up and became a man, still wondering why women cry.
Finally he put in a call to God. When God got on the phone, he asked, "God, why do women cry so easily?"
God said, "When I made the woman she had to be special.
I made her shoulders strong enough to carry the weight of the world,
yet gentle enough to give comfort.
I gave her an inner strength to endure childbirth and the rejection that many times comes from her children.
I gave her a hardness that allows her to keep going when everyone else gives up, and take care of her family through sickness and fatigue without complaining.
I gave her the sensitivity to love her children under any and all circumstances, even when her child has hurt her very badly.
I gave her strength to carry her husband through his faults and fashioned her from his rib to protect his heart.
I gave her wisdom to know that a good husband never hurts his wife, but sometimes tests her strengths and her resolve to stand beside him unfalteringly.
And finally, I gave her a tear to shed. This is hers exclusively to use whenever it is needed."
"You see my son," said God, "the beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair.
The beauty of a woman must be seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart - the place where love resides."

To all the beautiful👭around this beautiful 🌍, you may not have that one special ♥, but remember that you are ♥ by everyone who known you, and you are their special ♥ today, and every single day of your life. So to all of you I like to say...
