Good morning all,
I just saw a post from Khan academy which quoted Daria (an MTV show) about getting pizza and complaining, and how that would make us feel better. The science says not, apparently (I will do the Khan lesson later). However, what it recommends, in short, is gratitude instead. If we shift our focus to the things we're grateful for instead of the things we could complain about, we might achieve more happiness.
So, here goes:
a) I'm grateful that we have the technology to still reach students while Corona is here.
b) I'm grateful to every single person who has donated a computer or their time/energy to the @gr8fullyfeclub, or shared or liked it on social media.
c) I'm grateful that the pandemic hasn't removed the ability to take care of Maslow's hierarchy of needs (food, safety, warmth) for myself and my family.
d) I'm grateful for my hobbies (fly tying and fishing) that keep me socially distanced
e) I'm grateful that I can express all of this digitally
f) I'm grateful for people that check in on me
Have a great day all, and I hope you can find gratitude for things in your life.
~Mark
