We often tend to focus on negative situations more than positive ones. We brood on negative events, and ignore things that just go smoothly.
Instead of focusing on what you don’t have, focus on what you do have. Irrespective of current situation everyone definitely has a lot of things to be grateful for. You can look at your glass as half empty or half full, it’s all about the attitude.
People with children sometimes take their children for granted, but ask a person who cannot have children and you will know how fortunate you are…..have you ever heard the quote ”I complained that I did not have shoes, till I saw a man who had no feet”
Find things to be grateful for, that perfect cup of coffee in the morning, a beautiful sunny day, people in your life and experiences they bring you, which help you learn and grow. You can always find things to be grateful for. Being grateful, being appreciative of what you have makes you feel happier.
This one ritual has been helping me a lot. When I retire to bed at night, I go over everything that I am grateful for, the people in my life, material things that I have and my experiences. Next morning I wake up fully rested and feeling great. I am sure you will agree with me, it is way better than going to bed all stressed about what did not get done.
