Gratitude lifts you.
Pep Talk: Sometimes everything seems shitty. It’s not, but it can feel that way. Everything sucks and all you want to do is complain, but even the person you normally complain to is annoying you. Boo. No matter how bad things are, there is a bright side. It might not be blindingly bright, but there’s a glimmer somewhere. Stop thinking. Look around you. Find something that isn’t obnoxious and be grateful for it. Yeah, that thing is awesome. Now find something else. Man, that thing is good too. Dude, you’re surrounded by goodness. When you stop dwelling on the ugh/blurg of it all and focus on your gratitude, life isn’t so bad after all.
Today remind yourself: Gratitude lifts me.
