After a 5-mile run in my cozy neighborhood in Hawaii, I saw these stones with heartwarming messages placed under our mailboxes. 😃 The white stone says, "Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times if only one remembers to turn on the light."

Cognitive Distortions - Part 8Don't scold yourself or others for falling short of your standards. Do you find yourself telling yourself, "I should've done this" or "I should've done that"? These type of words and the tone of them can create unnecessary frustration in your life. When you have goals, it's human to fall short at times. No one achieves everything they want. Take a closer look at your journey and all the knowledge, skills, and relationships you've gained. Don't you think all of them are wins? They are! Now, the same goes for how you judge others. Don't scold them for falling short of your standards. I repeat "your standards," which could be blown out of proportion (another cognitive...

In order to see all the wonderful things around us and dispel our cognitive distortions, we must fully live in the present. 😊 - +positive masters+, 2/23/2020, Jon Riki Karamatsu - You have to be fully present if you want to go into your mind and dispel your distortive thoughts that make you anxious, sad, and angry.
