How Can Focusing On What Goes Well Each Day, rather Than The 5% That Doesn't, Improve My Mood?

You had a great day but are still feeling somewhat down. What could be a possible root cause? Are you a perfectionist? A pessimist? Are you someone who focuses most of their energy on the 5% of your day that didn’t go well, rather than the 95% that did? Changing your focus on what’s really important can help.

The reality is we’re not perfect and we’re not living in a perfect world. Things will not go as expected at times which can result in mental health concerns, such as stress, anxiety and/or a decreased mood. If we spend our time dwelling on these minor setbacks, we’re missing the opportunity to build resilience and improve our mood. This can have a long-term positive impact with greater capacity to deal with small challenges without them blowing up your day.
