You would have heard the expression, when life gives you lemons, make lemonade.
I often hear people say I just need to think more positively. But this is really difficult to do, especially when life is stressful and you are thrown many of life’s challenges. It is ok to acknowledge how tough one’s life is. But I would suggest it is more beneficial to work on making our thoughts more reasonable, rather than simply more positive. Notice your thoughts when you are going through a hard time, and ask yourself, are my thoughts reasonable? Are these thoughts helpful? What would one of my wise friends or family member say to me now?
