Some days you feel upset and your spirits are low. You go into deep depression because things are not as you would like them to be. You feel lost, distressed, and disappointed because you could not get the desired results.
A simple technique to lift your fallen spirits is to invoke a feeling of gratitude.
You only need to feel grateful for what you have. Just visualize how you could have been if things had become still worse? You will change your mental focus and feel that things are pretty good.
Your gratitude for what you still have lifts your morale and you enjoy a higher level of motivation.
When you lose $1,000, you are terribly upset. However, you need to be grateful that you did not lose everything. This state of your mind helps you to analyze the situation and makes you aware of the far greater things you have than what you lost.
All these feelings are no doubt only in your mind. Your mind can motivate you and make you reach higher levels of achievement.
It is the same mind which sometimes sends out depressing signals. To maintain equilibrium, just meditate on being grateful for what you have. This gives immense peace of mind.
