Hello, I’ve noticed a problem about me - I keep thinking about negative stuff even though I know it doesn’t matter and I shouldn’t.
Example from today, I’m sorry it’s so long but it gives context how it works:
I went inline skating on a dam at a lake. It’s a place where you can’t go in a car so it’s good for skating, dog walking and just sitting by the lake with friends mostly in the evenings, a lot of people there are drinking beers and stuff. Everything is great except there are no trash cans there so in the mornings there are a lot of leftover bottles just standing there from the night before. And here I am thinking about it and getting angry because it’s been like that for years and clearly nothing is going to change with peoples behaviour there and yet putting a single trash can there is too hard for authorities.
After some rambling in my head about it and thinking about this negative thing I then notice the other problem of that place - there are a lot of graffiti on there, it’s mostly just some writings, a lot of it is kinda funny to be fair but I then remember how I hate it when I’m visiting big cities and everything is destroyed by graffiti and how I hate all people that do this. I’m now starting an online store so I think - what if I open a brick and mortar store for it and it will get damaged by these people that don’t respect anything. It’s like my mind wants to dig deeper and deeper to find negative stuff to be angry on and make me upset. I then realised how little sense being so negative has yet I was still in a bad mood.
So instead of being happy about doing something good for myself by the lake in a beautiful place and being happy that I managed to wake up earlier that usual(I have a problem with sleeping really long) I end my ride being frustrated because of my negativity.
Did any of you have a similar problem and helped it?
