"Reframe Your Thoughts" Printable
Happiness is a state of mind; it lies in the way you look at things - and this can be practiced, influenced, shaped and changed. Our thought about something affects how we feel about it. So if we want to change how we feel, we have to change our thought - in other words, the way we think.
When a negative event arises, practice looking at things from all angles and seeing things from a different point of view. Instead of focusing on the negative, focus on the positive, the lessons learned, and the growth. When things don’t go our way, learn to accept and understand. This practice is not easy. But it will get easier each time we practice it as we keep rewiring our brain until it becomes a part of who we are.

"What A Pain I Can Be" Printable
Being self-aware is important. Besides being aware of our personality traits, strengths & weaknesses, and core values, in order for us to foster better relationships with others, it is important to understand that we are sometimes difficult to deal with and how.
No one is perfect. We are all flawed in some way. No one is happy and cheerful all the time. There are times when we're not our best selves and not in our best mood and behavior. We may be cranky and moody. We may respond to certain things in a certain way.
- By becoming aware of what a pain we can be, we can learn to communicate better and manage our emotions & behaviors better.
- By communicating this with our partner and people close to us, we can foster better understanding and acceptance, and build better relationships.
It is often the negative emotions, which usually arise during stressful times, and how we manage & respond to them that make or break relationships.
Therefore, these things should be openly discussed.
