Practice makes perfect
Hello,
.
Why is it always easier to remember the bad things that happen in a day than it is to remember the good things.
.
Why is discontent easier than contentment and resentment easier than generosity.
.
It is unfortunately easy to adopt bad habits and to build on them.
If you ask a person to say when they were last happy they often need to think about it properly, but they can more easily remember all their grievances.
Nothing so easy is worthwhile.
.
Develop the appreciation of happiness . Look for the good things and it too will grow to be a habit.
Cultivate being grateful.
.
Make a point of noticing the shining things in each day.
Repeat them to yourself last thing at night before you go to sleep.
.
Take control of your thoughts.
If you find yourself thinking negative things then cut that line of thought off instantly and deliberately think of something positive , even if it is something as small as a nice cup of coffee when you get home.
You could even promise yourself a nice biscuit to go with it, or a Warburtons Potato Pancake.
.
Treat yourself well, make it a point in each day to look forward to a little nice moment for yourself.
If you can do a nice thing for someone else, then do it. It is better than to gossip or be casually cruel or dismissive or follow the others. Kindness is a ripple you make.
Eventually it comes back to you.
.
You will benefit from this in so many ways, and like any ability , it will grow ever more easy until it becomes like second nature.
