In these current times a lot of negative events are going on, global, provincial, city, and my home. All of these negative events can easily put me in a very dark path mentally. I have been working hard on my mental state to try and resist the route of unhappiness. It is not the best yet, but I am growing positively.
I have been trying more often then not, to practice gratitude. Whenever I am in a very negative head space I start listing things that I am grateful for. I start with the obvious ones, then I move to the really small things I know I never really appreciate them; like being able to see. I never ever think about it, because I have never lost it. I do not want to wait to appreciate the things I have easily for me now. Why wait until something bad happens to be grateful for it.
Going over these small things started to bloom into going over small accomplishments. Like being able to say I have done 355 push ups now. My wrist still hurts a lot, but before I could not even walk 20 m out of my house without my dad helping me back to get back home. I am improving small amounts, but still forwards.
I cannot control the inevitable bad events to come, but I can control how it effects me mentally. Thinking about all of these small gratitude's has really made me feel happy more often.
