Comparing what we've got with what we want or wanted can sometimes lead us to make beneficial changes - but watch out: comparisons that go on endlessly trap us in permanent dissatisfaction. At that point it’s time to let go of the comparisons. 

Try: What are some things you value that you’ve already got and that perhaps you haven’t taken the time to appreciate lately?

Yesterday's Daily Bell
Usually, in daily life, we are motivated to do something, then we do it. But when our mood is low, we have to do something before the motivation comes. Motivation follows action, rather than the other way around. Mark Williams & Danny Penman, Mindfulness. 

Try: List a few things  you need to do but that you don’t feel motivated to do and spend five minutes working on each one -if you suddenly feel like keeping going, do so.

New book on the way: Acceptance - Create Change and Move Forward

Chapter headings include: Accepting Uncertainty; Accepting Our Bodies, Sexuality and Gender; Acceptance and relationships, during and after;Acceptance In Conflict; The Acceptance Dynamic.

How I use the Daily Bell
"The daily bell sets me up for the day.   I read it on waking and it helps me to start my day in a positive, kind, compassionate way.   I remind myself all the time about what I read. It is a great help in self regulation." KL
