BITE ME! .the movement.



"Bite Me" is a movement that gets rid of negativity and enforces 
optimism in life. 

When you are chronically ill like myself sometimes everyday is a bad day. Everyone has their bad days where every little thing makes you want to curse and shout. So "Bite Me" is inspired by my chronically ill friends suffering from Lyme disease, but is a movement that everyone should try to embrace.

Every month I give myself one "Bite Me" day. That day is the day that 
I have designated as my day to just say to the world "Bite Me!"

Use that one day to express every bad feeling you have. Be mad, be 
angry, be grumpy, hell even be b*tchy! Let it all out! Scream in your 
car, shout some curse words at the top of your lungs, even punch a 
couple pillows. The purpose is to do anything and everything you can 
to express and purge yourself of those "I feel like crap!", "I"m tired 
of being sick and tired!" emotions. Then before you go to bed release 
those emotions and allow yourself to be free of them. Then hopefully 
the next day you will wake up at least feeling a little less angry and 
frustrated.

This approach uses anger in a therapeutic way and gives you a sense of freedom from expressing and releasing those emotions. Let’s be real, everyone, and I mean every single person in this world gets angry, frustrated and harbors some form of negative emotions. Suppressing those feelings and holding them in only makes them fester and grow. So why not use negativity to benefit you in a positive way? Use your anger, use your pain and just force it out all in one day. Then once your emotional reservoir is empty you can fill it with positive thoughts.

Sometimes you just have to get angry and fed up with something to push you to the breaking point, and then when you reflect back you tend to have a new perspective on the issue and may even see new ways to resolve or healthier ways to deal with the issue.

So when you are having a ‘bad day’ take a moment and think to yourself; “Is this going to be the worst day for me this month?” If that answer is no, let it go and keep pushing forward. If the answer is yes, if today is the absolute worst day of the month you can imagine yourself having and everything has just reached its breaking point then say; “Yes, yes world! Today sucks so just BITE ME!”



If you ever feel like your dreams are broken and you've lost your way, just remember all dark clouds have silver linings and the North star is always shining to lead you home.
