MENTALLY SUBTRACT SOMETHING GOOD FROM YOUR LIFE.

                     MENTALLY SUBTRACT SOMETHING GOOD

                           FROM YOUR LIFE.....

                    
          

People spend a lot of time thinking about good things that didn't happen,but might have done.But what about the good things that did happen which might not happen?Say you'd never met your partner or friend or got that job?What would life be like without some of those things we take for granted?
Thinking about what might not have been can be tremendously powerful if used in the right way.Counter-factual thinking can create meaning in life and,can increase satisfaction with what you have.So,mentally subtract something good from your life to  really appreciate it.

Send a thankful message:Gratitude is a powerful emotion that helps us enjoy what we have.Evoke it right now by sending an email.Thank them for what they have done for you,however small.It's easy and quick and one study has found that practising gratitude can increase happiness by 25%.
