As human beings, we all too often have so much going on in
our lives we miss the positive things we are experiencing. It is true we may
have negative things happening in our lives, but that doesn’t mean we have to
choose to completely focus on the negativity. In fact, by refocusing our
attention to positive things around us, it can help the negative not seem so
bad.
For example, let’s say you are dealing with a chronic mental
and/or medical condition(s) that constantly reminds you of the pain you are in
and what you are not able to do. If this is the case, try to think about and
focus on what you CAN do.
This doesn’t necessarily mean the pain will go away, but you may find you’re
better able to manage it. The mind and body are connected, this we cannot deny.
If our mind is in a negative state, our body will respond to this by being in a
more negative state. If our mind is in a more positive state, the same will
happen with our bodies.
