But don’t stop with these ideas.

Discuss this concept with your colleagues, employees and family. Ask them for suggestions. When we take part inrepparttar 101589 planning and figure things out, we’re more invested.

No matter how “bad” you think your day has gone, there are dozens of things that go well. Burningrepparttar 101590 dinner amounts to an hour’s worth of time, while you successfully completedrepparttar 101591 grocery-shopping, found a parking place, cleanedrepparttar 101592 kitchen, foundrepparttar 101593 perfect gift for your mother-in-law, read torepparttar 101594 children, and many other things.

You may have failed to get a donation from a certain donor, but you engaged some new volunteers, organized your office filing system, got a call fromrepparttar 101595 press, got a grant accepted, and got a compliment from your boss on how well things were going.

When we focus only on what goes wrong, we magnify it way out of proportion. Fromrepparttar 101596 minute you wake up inrepparttar 101597 morning feeling good and having a house and food onrepparttar 101598 table, torepparttar 101599 time you tuckrepparttar 101600 children in bed at night and crawl intorepparttar 101601 clean sheets with your honey, there is much to be grateful for.

Focusing onrepparttar 101602 positive, and being grateful for what goes right, feels good, works out, and succeeds can make your day go a lot better – and possibly affect your health as well.
