1. Replace “Why me?” with “What next?”

It’s natural; when things go wrong, one of the first thoughts is likely to be “Why me?”

“Why me?” is a weakening phrase. It only serves to increase our feeling of victimhood and makes us feel incapable of dealing with the situation.

By “What next?” we not only gain back a feeling of control, but also figure out what we can actually do.

2. Force yourself to practice gratitude.

It is hard to feel grateful when you are dealt a blow, no matter how big or small it is.

No matter what you are dealing with, there is always, always something to be grateful for. Force yourself to say it out loud a few times. Your heart and your mind will soon catch up.

3. Quit blaming.

When you’re hurt, it is equally natural to look for someone to blame.

But blame only serves to prolong the hurt.

It makes it harder to let things go.

It makes us angry and corrodes us from the inside.

It brings negativity into our life.

So just stop blaming.

Best app ever! You heard it right. This app has helped me get back on my quest to get things done while equipping myself with knowledge everyday.

Ashley Anthony

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

Sean Green

Great interesting short snippets of informative articles. Highly recommended to anyone who loves information and lacks patience.

Laetitia Berton

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
