Sometimes, life can get pretty rough. We have all been there - those weeks where it seems as if nothing is going right. Those weeks where it seems that the entire world is against you. This is a real feeling, and everyone is entitled to feel this way at some point or another. But, as we all know, life does go on - and a lot of the time we're too caught up in these moments of stress and worry to effectively go about our days. Yet, we can take small steps to change that. And one of the first things to do is to make a list of all the little things in life that bring you happiness. Whether it is as small as sleeping in or as big as family, recognizing the things that make you happy can help you to forget about those not so nice things.
