This is a technique to change how you think to the more positive.

all you have to do is list things you are blessed to have  ( even just one thing is a positive step )

Visit on a regular basis to change how you think.

    Grateful for nature, a loving family,  pet, neighbours, job I love, who I am. Grateful for a change in thoughts which are gradually occurring and which I need to practise more: Accept people as they are whatever their "neurological" ststus,  know that most people only try their best, but have their own limitations and not to measure others based on my own expectations of myself. To not compare myself or what I have or who I am with others. If someone has a good heart i can't ask for more, even if they bore me to death or are not on my wavelength. I'm grateful for this ongoing change in my thoughts as it's helping me see more clearly, reduce self inflicted anxiety and making me appreciate others more.

    there is a lot of sound advice in this statement, and really good aspirations, which if followed will move you from suffering ( the cause of unhappiness ) to a better way of thinking. I have seen similar in Bankei (1600) and other Buddhist monk/Taoist writings. So you are in very good company. Awesome, especially the, "Who I am". 

    Really love this statement, really powerful.
