If you have a picture of some loved ones or a song that really reminds you of better times or a card someone left you, having a collection of things that widens your focus. So if you get a disappointing email or you learn that something that you worked for didn't happen,

Instead of being narrowly focused in such a painful myopic way on all the things that are going wrong, a broader sense of all the things that are going right. I mean, I could easily, if I worked on something and it didn't, you know, an article or something, and then something, an editor didn't like it, just realizing, okay, I have, you know, beautiful, healthy children.

And that's what actually, of course, there's room to validate. Of course, I'm disappointed. But when our mind plays these tricks on us, like, life's not fair to have kind of a wider perspective and a hope kit can really do that.

Oh, Mike, there's so many to choose from. One more is doing the opposite. A lot of times we feel stressed and we act in ways that stress us out further.
