A grateful list
When your mind goes to a bad place, focusing on all negative things, feeling as if every event is against you. Try to name one thing you are genuinely grateful for, or happy for. Then continue working on that list.
It might prove challenging at first, yet it works.
What we perceive is often not what is happening. We need to train to make the distinction.
Not getting it your way
Being around others means that most of the times you will not get it your way.
You can fight that. Most bad managers do. Parents and kids alike often do. Partners sometimes do. And that rarely changes the fact that you will not get it your way.
Better to embrace it then. Allocate space in your plan – both mental and physical – for others to be. Be ready to accept and flex boundaries. Clarify where the limit is and stick to that in all circumstances.
We are all in it for our own betterment.
To be continued
If you haven’t started earlier, and you are rushing into finding a good resolution for 2022, be mindful that success is not achieved in one magical night.
Continuing with the good that you are doing is a great way to start the new year.
You’ve got this!
Resentment
What good does your resentment do?
Perhaps you have been treated unfairly. Perhaps you did truly deserve that promotion. Perhaps that person in your team is really after you. Perhaps everyone should really buy into your idea. Perhaps you do deserve more.
And what good does it do to act up because of that? How closer does that take you to your objectives?
Resentment is bad not because others might not deserve it – they usually don’t. Resentment is bad because it is not efficient.
The moment you feel it, do acknowledge it, do talk about it, and then do move on.
