You may feel burdened by your obligations today. Perhaps you are trying to accomplish a large amount of work that leaves you feeling overwhelmed, or you may be struggling to stay focused because your heart just isn't in it. Rather than resenting the time you need to spend working, you may find it helpful to embrace one positive aspect of every task you undertake today. Whether you focus on the ways your work makes a positive difference in the lives of others, the sense of accomplishment you will feel when you finish, or even the relief of being able to relax once the day is done, you will be contributing your energy to a happier state of mind, rather than allowing negativity to detract from your inner peace.

Focusing on the positive can make any task more enjoyable. Most of us are accustomed to fixating on the negative aspects of a situation, which only keeps us mired in weariness and attracts more negativity into our lives. Learning to see our viewpoint as a choice gives us the freedom to feel happier about our circumstances. Even if we don't love everything about our lives, we can still choose to focus more on the positive aspects of each situation. Not only does this make us feel happier moment to moment, but it continues to attract more positive experiences into our lives, making the negative aspects seem less pervasive. With a simple shift in perspective today, you can turn your activities into valuable experiences that contribute more joy to your life.
