Appreciation excercise

After thinking about my last post, I thought I would post something positive that I had found a few months back.

Take a piece of paper, and for the next thirty days sit down and write all the things that you appreciate about that person. Think about all the reasons that you love them. You appreciate their sense of humor, you appreciate how supportive they are. And what you’ll find is that when you focus on appreciating and acknowledging their strengths, that’s what you’ll get more of, and the problems will fade away.”

I am not sure that the problems will "fade away," but it will help take the focus of the negatives, which are often fewer than the positives that you will compile in your list.
