Hi,

I've done this sometimes too. I've tried to do better in recent years. If I start doing that, I try to tell myself I'm not going to do that and it's not necessary. I try to tell myself I'm just going to enjoy the good thing for now, and let the good feeling be there. If I want to think of negative things some other time, I can, but for now, I'll just think of the good things. This often seems to work for me.

I also have been doing a special time when I go to sleep every night. I go over the day as I'm getting ready for sleep, and remember the best thing about the day, and the hardest thing about the day, and hold them in my heart. It seems like this has helped me over the past few years. It helps to remember both the good things and the bad things each day - some of both - and I think it's helped me remember it's okay to celebrate the good things and acknowledge the hard things, too. It's been a practice which has really helped me a lot.

Take care,
