This is always something I am working on. I call it the shoulds. Thinking the weather should be better. People should be kinder. Life should be easier. It's not a healthy way to think. Instead focusing on my own attitude is in my control. And a little gratitude goes a long way in framing situations.
Thanks for sharing, Janis! Yes, the "shoulds" is a good name. And that's a really good point that gratitude can also help when reframing situations outside of our control. I'm glad you mentioned that.
