Think about the news. It's mostly bad. Planes crashing, people killing each other, houses burning down. What about the good things that happen? So many more planes land safely, than crash. More people help one another, than kill. More houses are renovated or bought, than burn. Sometimes, we like the bad news (as long as it is not happening to us), than we do the good news.
I challenge you, to focus on the positives. Get a journal, and try to take a minute before you go to bed, to jot down one good thing that happened during the day; one thing you are thankful for. Every day, there is at least one thing to be happy about: health, food, shelter, job, family, friends, etcetera. If you do this for a few days, you'll find it easier to find the good in the day, and step away from dwelling on the negatives. And when you do have a horrible day (even that day has something to be grateful for...maybe that it is over?), reading through the other day's entries might make you feel better.
