I have been in a bad mood these past two weeks with exams and stress from my classes. It has been difficult to maintain a positive energy, and I figure if one thing keeps ruining my days I know there are far more positives to direct my energy towards. As a way to keep myself sane and put myself in a positive mindset, I have thought of 101 different things that make me happy. It shows that there are far more positives than the few negatives in my life. I will gear my energy towards and focus on the positives more than the few that bring my mood down. Try to make a list of your own and it will help you see that you should not worry about a few negatives.
