Focus on What You Have

The life lesson I am currently working on is to focus on and appreciate what you have instead of what you don't have. Why is this such a struggle for me? I have so many wonderful things going on in my life but I am still so sad about the things I don't have anymore. I've lost so much in the last year that it has been easy to wallow in self-pity and regret. It is almost comforting. If anyone has any suggestions, let me know. I am stuck here, especially with Christmas approaching, evaluating and re-evaluating to the point of exhaustion. I don't think it helps that my brain works about 20 times faster than most peoples. Maybe that's why I have a hard time focusing on so many things...because I'm too hyper-focused on other things.

My own intervention strategy for myself is to take 10 minutes per day to think about all of the great things going on in my life. I hope it helps!
