Some days can seem quite impossible. We can feel quite down and believe there is nothing good going on in our lives. This stuff can build up and before long we read the Old Testament book of Job and think, 'That's me!" Time for a reality check.
Here's a little midweek outward-focused thought for you - and it will only take you five minutes (honest!):
Keep a gratitude journal. At the end of every day, or week if daily is unrealistic, list 5 things you are grateful for. They can be things that happened that day or week, things you have in your life, relationships that support you, or little things like "the beautiful weather we had today" or "the stranger who smiled at me in the street." It's a simple but effective life tool that can shift your perspective dramatically, and as I said it takes no more than 5 minutes.
