Consider paying attention to the times that you think to yourself – YES, BUT – when you have something, and yet you continue to see a deficiency.
I do this. We all do it.
I also notice – particularly recently – how great it feels to acknowledge what is present, full-stop. Shining the spotlight on what I do have – and away from the perceived deficiency – has a lightness to it.
It’s the perception of deficiency that is a heavy feeling.
Some examples:
~ You notice a positive comment or ‘like’ on something you posted on social media.


~ You think of the fact that you have one close friend, or one person you resonate with at work.


~ You consider where you live.


Because sometimes ‘being grateful for what you have’ is a concept that’s hard to grasp.
Gratitude can feel like a lot – it can feel effortful, when all you see is deficiency.
So, how about just start with acknowledging the things that you do have, and just letting that awareness sink in a little.
Allow yourself to rest your attention on what you have. Put mental blinders on, pull down the shutters on comparison – so that you aren’t looking around to see what else you think you could / should / or don’t have. Do this so that you can focus on the value of what you do have that is already in your life experience.
Things are always changing and shifting. Be curious about nurturing a favourable view of what you do have and how it can serve you at this moment. 

Wishing you a day full of finding ways to savour the moment and the circumstances you’re in.
