Regularly reminding ourselves of what is going right in our lives counteracts our natural tendency to focus on our problems. We tend to focus on what is not right particularly when we are struggling with a low mood, anxiety or depression. It is during these times that we particularly benefit from a focus on what we are thankful for, even if it is a struggle to get going with a gratitude list when we feel like this. do it anyway! While it won’t immediately transform our current mood, if you develop a regular practise you can retrain the mind to focus on what is going well.
