Too often when things aren't going our way, we're having a bad day, not feeling too well, etc. that tends to be where we focus our thoughts and our efforts. Most often when we do focus on these things, it only tends to multiply them.
Instead of focusing on ourselves, we need to learn to focus on others. If you are feeling kind of cruddy, go visit with someone else that is feeling cruddy and try to lift their spirits. If you are stressed about not being able to find a job, try to help someone else reach their career goals. If you are depressed about not being able to lose weight, go encourage someone else in their weight loss efforts. If you are worried about not being able to meet your financial obligations, go donate time and money to someone who is in even more need of assistance. Do all of these things with an open heart, not an expectation of repayment!
