I strongly believe that if you are in a bad mood the best way to bring yourself out of it is to stop and take a second to realize how lucky you are, and appreciate all you have to be thankful for. If I fall into a huff over some trivial matter I try to remember that in the grand scheme of things; life isn't that bad. It sounds so silly but we take so much for granted and there is nothing worse than being in a room full of miserable people who focus only on the negatives. It's just no way to live!
It may seem like the end of the world if someone whispers some nasty comment about you, or you fail an exam - but realistically, there will always be someone out there who has it worse. I do get it though. I go through periods where I wanna lock the door and have alone time, shutting out the world but this is self limiting and no way to get you back into the swing of things.
At some point I'll be posting about what I've learnt about mental health and ways we can improve it, but right now I wanna do something I've been inspired by and write a selection of things I love and am thankful for (in no particular order).
I hope you read this and smile!
