It sounds obvious but often we forget to focus on how we want to think, feel and act. Instead our attention may be on how we don’t want to think, feel and act. Giving attention to what we don’t want creates negative expectation and can be a type of self-fulfilling prophecy.
Action: As you go through the day every so often stop and ask yourself how you would rather be approaching the current moment. Don’t try to force yourself to feel a way you don’t; simply recognise how you would like to feel and then let the feelings stay or leave.
