Our feelings are usually influenced by what we’re paying attention to.
So if we’re noticing all the:
- things that are going wrong and the mistakes we’ve made
- obstacles, pitfalls and dangers in our way
- things we don’t want
we will feel negative.
If we pay attention to the positive things we feel positive.Because of the way we’re ‘wired’, it’s often easier to give the negative aspects in our lives more attention.
So how can we develop the habit of paying attention to the positive things in life?
One way to maintain a positive focus is to ask ourselves positive questions…questions that get us to reflect on the things we have and want more of in our lives.
For instance:
- What am I happy about in my life?
- What am I excited about?
- What am I enjoying most in my life?
- What do I love? Who loves me?
- What have I learned that will be positively useful for the future?
- What have I achieved today?
- What can I be grateful for today?

Ask your positive questions every day and notice how your positive focus grows stronger and gets muscles. It’s like putting yourself in a gym for your mind. (Image removed)
