We tend to worry if we think positively something bad will happen, this isn’t the case. Just because you think about negative consequences and then something good happened instead doesn’t mean it was your way of thinking that helped. It didn’t, it just made you feel miserable and you missed out on so much.
When we have lived with so much mistrust, bad news or have had a run of bad luck, it doesn’t mean we can control the future with negative thinking. Yes I know, we think if we think about bad stuff happening then when it does happen we can tell ourselves, “Yep see nothing good ever happens”. But what we miss out on is all the good stuff in our lives instead. We fail to see what we already have around us and only focus on the negative stuff.
So just for today remember it’s okay to see the positive in life.
