    I like to listen to something beautiful every morning. 15 min of a book, a song, a video. Replacing the scrolling of social media is crucial.

    As a therapist I absolutely love this exercise! Breaking down large task into manageable smaller pieces is so much easier to handle and gratitude journals really train the brain to recognize that positive good things do exist in your life. These concepts sound very similar to Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.

    depending how you write down what you have failed at, sometimes reminds you not to feel sorry for yourself. Because you tend to really observe them and realize how non essential they are or how little impact they have on your life.

    Cool. Thank you. Even better is to start each statement with "I am... " rather than "I will..." because "I am" makes it already so whereas "I will" makes it seem still to come. Just fyi.

    Thit theory itself is controversial , nobody wants to feel upset or seek sadness in their lives but have you ever considered the circumstances surrounding others?! you guys are just way far from being realistic , how about you wake up in the morning and say i'm greatful for not turning someone's life into hell because i want to be financially successful! have you ever thought about that!! I KNOW , Play by your rules and get a small peice of the pie for now then get scrwed later , how many retired people do you know who are actually happy in their lives?! The problem with you people is you think you're gonna live forever and take everything with you if you die , don't give me this crap give me a better life .
