A list of uplifting articles + calming books + pleasant movies

Many times when I am feeling low or uncertain I tend to google positive things or simply google the words I am feeling at the moment and read up some article online..

There are a lot of websites, blog & articles which really lift you up, give u a perspective, offer solutions, and motivate u.

But often times I have come across articles which randomly use negative words to describe difficult, but not negative, situations. like failure - to describe a set back, or  defeated - to describe disappointed. Coming across such superficial content is basically unhelpful, and sometimes confuses us and makes us doubt our perspective for no reason. However there surely are a few posts out there which can infact help us lift our spirits up in the most genuine and natural way. 

I have decided to maintain a blog post that includes articles / books / videos which I found extremely helpful while dealing with a low. I will also share some methods which have helped me. I hope to spread some positivity with this post. 

Online articles :

1.  http://blog.iqmatrix.com/overcome-disappointment.

( One of the best ones I have read on this subject )

2.  http://newkings.co/overachivers-treadmill/


Books :

1. 7 Habbits of Highly efficient people

( This is a very motivating book, and something you should read when u r at home and trying to make a plan for urself )

2. Ikigai

 ( This is a one time , one afternoon read. A very calming and feel good book )

3. Feeling Good by Dr. Burns.

( This is a book on cognitive behavioural therapy to deal with anxiety and depression. It helps us improve our behaviour and thinking patterns. I personally found it very very useful )

Pleasant movies :

1. A Beautiful day in the neighbourhood.

A semi - biopic on Mr. Fred Rogers and his television show for children " Mr. Roger's Neighbourhood" and its impact on children & a generation who grew up watching the show. After watching the movie I was sooo touched and full of wonder that such kindness and honesty can exist. The only other time I felt like this was after reading about , and then attending Dalai Lama's lectures.

2. Julie and Julia

3. A Man called Otto
