Count Your Benefits Every Day
Count Your Benefits Every Day
As most of us know, it’s very easy to focus on the problems and challenges and disappointments we deal with. If we are not careful, we will find ourselves saturated in negativity. And that is a big problem. With attention only to what is problematic, several effects come into play.
- Low energy.
- Lack of clarity.
- Poor decisions.
- Pulling away.
- Isolation
- Irritable
The problem in a state like this: only the negative comes through and stays prominent. You image what’s next and how bad it might be, how long this will last, and it tends to stay at top of mind.
A Practical Defense
By using a visual stimulus, you can counter this negative force. Take a plain sheet of paper. Begin to write down every benefit you have or have enjoyed in your life. Write it as quickly as you can. After the first few moments you will slow down because what you have listed are the most obvious that came to mind.
Don’t Stop for Coffee
Here’s where the work really begins. Now dig deeper. Stay intentional, don’t stop for coffee, just keep listing everything. Do this until you can be true to yourself, that you have exhausted the process. Don’t take any short cuts.
Now take a second sheet of paper and pick the top ten most important benefits from the master list. Next, cull the list down to your top two benefits: the most important to you. If you look at all three lists you will see that you have much more positive than negative.
Here’s Your Saturation Point
The benefits you uncovered are the factors to saturate in. Think how these benefits helped you. Think how you applied them in your life.
Once you match these against your current negatives, you should have enough new positive energy to overcome. Once you have your mind in a position of strength, all else will follow. The process really does work.
