LET'S PRETEND
' Fake it till you make it'? The positive side to pretending is that you may be about to really enjoy yourself. Happiness is much better for your health than sadness. It is worth imagining a whole new life! You may need to experience a spiritual rebirth. It could boost the confidence in yourself and increase control of your life. Your facial expression will change if you are able to focus on something else than the apparent dreary reality.
Your life is not unchangeable. Go back to the time, when you were a baby. You then began to walk and talk. You also began to pretend, as you played with stuffed animals and colourful dolls. You should realize, that thoughts, not reality, guide most of your actions and emotions. In order to get on in the world, you have to be creative and flexible. That may mean not to go with the flow. Then you'll have to deal with all the consequences of being considered to be an eccentric. It is what it is.
Practice the art of simulation. That's when your creativity comes into play. Turn your dreams into reality. 'If your dreams don't scare you, they're not big enough'. Think of the times, that you lost loved ones. From time to time, you'll have to take a few moments to reflect on them still being there. Let's pretend. Otherwise, you may have difficulty in dealing with their loss.
