When you feel bad or start going down a negative thought spiral, shift your focus.

This is something I do regularly. I did it today because I was in a bad mood. When I catch myself being negative, and  I don’t want to stay in that state,  I shift my focus.

To do that ask different questions.

I like to focus on the beauty of mundane things. Of the simple things we take for granted. The smile of a stranger, the feeling of warm sunlight, silence. Shifting focus towards appreciating these simple everyday things is much more fun. The speed at which you state changes is impressive.

What are those little things you take for granted?

What is something you could appreciate right now, if you wanted to?

Remember, your focus is controlled by questions. If you don’t like your focus, change your questions. It’s in your control.
