Remembering your successes

It is important that we focus on what we have been successful in in life. This is especially needed when we are facing challenges. Take inventory of your accomplishments. What was it that you did that resulted in a positive outcome? Was it a new task that you learned, passing a test in school, or obtaining your driver's license? It doesn't have to be comparable to changing an entire organization or writing a Pulitzer prize winner although that could certainly be on someone's list. Think of what you did for that to happen. The more you focus on success, the more it will enter your life. When we concentrate on what is not going right for us, we attract more of the same. This can place you in a downward spiral which is counterproductive to why you are here. When you make your list of successes, post it where you can see it as often as possible. Recall how good you felt when you made it to this point knowing that you can feel this way again. What successes do you remember?
