Choose to Focus on the Positive and on What You Have Achieved

In every bad situation, there is always something good. You can focus on the good, or you can focus on the bad. It’s your choice.

You can focus on the hole in the doughnut, and you can focus on the doughnut itself.

You can focus on the empty half of the glass, and you focus on the full half of the glass.

Your attitude and where you direct your attention affect your mood and state of mind and, consequently, your actions and the results you get.

Do You Focus on the Things You Didn’t Do?

Do you sometimes feel at the end of the day that you have not done much?

Often, if you stop to think, you will realize that this is not true. This feeling arises because you are focusing on what you have not done instead of focusing on what you have done.

Sometimes, a few things that you had no time to do affect your state of mind, obsessing and disturbing you.

You might have accomplished a lot by the end of the day, but the things that you did not have the time to do occupy your mind and distress you.

You might start your day intending to carry out a number of tasks, but when the day ends, you realize that you have not accomplished all the tasks you set out to do. This makes you feel bad.

Instead of being happy that you have accomplished most of the day’s tasks and goals, you focus on what you did not do.

It’s as if you forgot what you have achieved, which could be a lot, and feel that you haven’t done anything. Occupying yourself with this feeling wastes your time and energy and creates stress and unhappiness.

A better option is the focus on the positive and good in your life and the things you have achieved. Always focus on the good things.

Focusing on what you missed or did not do creates unnecessary unhappiness.

Think about the Tasks and Goals that You Have Accomplished

Why not focus on the positive in your life and on what you have accomplished today? This will make you feel good and happy about yourself.

The things you didn’t manage to do today, you can always do tomorrow.

Thinking about the things you have accomplished awaken happiness and satisfaction and the confidence. Such feelings are good for your mental and emotional health.

Always focus on the half full of the glass, not the half empty. This would save you unnecessary stress, anxiety and unhappiness.

Two Tips to Focus on the Good Things

1. Every time you finish carrying out a task, no matter how small or big it is, stop what you are doing and feel satisfied. Congratulate yourself for what you have done, and a few moments enjoy the feeling of accomplishment.
2. At the end of the day, and before going to sleep, think about what you have accomplished today. This will teach your mind to focus on the positive in your life.
