Nothing is going right! Not a thing! Today is downhill!!

Oh really? Have you forgotten something? Have you forgotten your previous victories?

Previous victories mean there are more to come. We need to put a pause on the downcast moment of the present and recall the triumphs of the past.

Remember when?

• You got your first job
• You earned your first paycheck
• You passed your driver’s license test
• You graduated from high school or college
• You found a wonderful spouse
• Your first baby was born
• Your good idea earned you a promotion
• You overcame a long-standing bad habit
• You learned a new language
• You learned a new skill
• You figured out a difficult situation
• You made the right decision in a very hard moment, and it was the best decision

‘Oh, yeah, I forgot about all of these. I guess I have had a lot of victories in the past.’

Don’t let these remain forgotten. Pick a time and write them down for remembrance sake. Keep a file of all the positive emails or correspondence you’ve received so when the ‘Nothing’s going right’ strike, you have a rebuttal against them.
