I think I have an addiction to negative thinking and on avoiding happiness if it is not exactly the way I want it. That sounds really odd but it seems to be the case. Perhaps I like to blame everything on something or somebody else because that way I can escape the responsibility that I have on my life. I've seen this topic discussed before here and if I look back I have always flinched on it when I read it.
This past few weeks I asked about an affirmation about changing my life but before deploying it and after realizing that anywhere that I might take my life to probably isn't worth getting to if I don't do it joyfully I would like to add some positivity to it but one thing I don't want is for it to become "brightsided"
Do you have any advice on how to cultivate a positive mindset about the circumstances I encounter in my life, despite that I want to change them? It certainly isn't good to go about hating my day to day when at least at present, is the best that I can get. I feel that with my present mindset nothing I get would be enough and that seems as much a part of the problem as the circumstances by themselves.
