Maintain a positive attitude
I’ve been a bit depressed for the past week as I made a mistake and bought some stock right before the market dropped 1,000 points. It made me feel stupid.
While I was out getting my 30 minutes of exercise today I decided to take a look at my current situation from a positive point of view and see how it looked.
Without getting into all the details, I was able to come up with about half a dozen things in my life that were going well and should make me feel good. Balanced against the loss of some money, the good clearly outweighed the bad.
I feel it’s all too easy to feel bad, either depressed, sad, or in a bad mood. We have control over how we feel, and it’s important to exert that control and take charge sometimes.
I hope someone will read this and take it to heart, and feel better as a result.
