When we’re stressed out and overwhelmed, it’s so easy to focus on what’s wrong with our lives, our loved ones, ourselves and bodies. When we focus on what’s wrong, things become larger and tend to look worse. Instead, change your focus to an attitude of gratitude. We all have a long list of things to be grateful for.
Make a list of 10 people or things in your life that you are grateful for. If you can’t think of 10, list five, two, or even one. Then, for five minutes throughout your day, count those blessings. You’ll find your attitude and focus changes thereby reducing your stress. You’ll create more inner happiness for yourself. You change your mindset from a “have not” and “what’s wrong” to a “have” and “what’s right” in your life.
Try to find the “what’s right” in situations that, in the past, you thought of as “what’s wrong”……there’s almost always a lesson or a silver lining to every cloud. Enjoy the silver linings in your life.
Believe In Yourself,
Cathy
