It is easy for us sometimes to make a generalization on an unpleasant event. It is amazing how one unpleasant event can make our whole week feel like a disaster.
Our generalizations can blind us of the pleasant events that happened between the unpleasant ones. When we do remember or challenge our generalization by counting how many pleasant events we had, we begin to realize that the week wasn’t that bad after all.
We don’t have to laminate on things we can’t change but focus on how we can change our perception or how can we learn from them and know that things happen in our lives are things that happen to all of us. It’s just some of us deal with them better than others.
