Stress and sadness can cause negativity, and negativity is contagious. Next time you find yourself stressed out or upset, take a moment to yourself and calm down. Remember, things could always be worse and when you really think about it, other people have it worse off than we do.
Instead, take that moment when you are calming down to think about all of the things that you are grateful for having. And not just the big things, but the little things too. Giving thanks shouldn't be set aside just for Thanksgiving. If we gave it a moment of thought every day, we would be amazed at all we take for granted.
For example, I am thankful for running water. Sounds silly, right? But think about those in other countries who don't even have clean water to drink.
So, the next time life feels burdened by daily responsibilities and all the extras that are out of your control...be thankful for the air in your lungs, the sun in the sky, and your loving family and friends around you. Life is too short to be negative. I hope this has been helpful to anyone that may be feeling like their life is overwhelming. We live in a fast-paced world, because we choose to do so. Slow down, let the car behind you pass you if they are in a hurry, hold the door open for the person behind you, and take time to play in the rain! Have a great night everyone! :)
