Take a break from your day and share some food for thought with me. I was recently asked a rhetorical question the other that I did not have an answer to, but has got me thinking about. This person was talking in general about her life and stated something to the effect of:
Why do we only hang on to the bad stuff that happens to us? Sure, lots of good things have happened to me, but why do I not carry those with me like the bad stuff?
A very good point and as a human being and a professional, I didn’t have an answer. Of course, the things like severe trauma will stick with us for a very long time if help if not sought out. Although, on a more simple level, I can remember MANY happy times in my life that I thought life could get no better and then I walk home to find the dog had an accident on the floor again and there goes my happy mood! So that’s a pretty basic example, but I think we all react that way on some level.
Again, I would love to hear your input on this one and if you have any tricks that help you to stay focused on the positive and carry with you those “good things” and leave behind all the rest!
I hope you all have a GREAT rest of the week!
