See the Good Motivational Bracelet: Medium

Every new year, I like to come up with a "Year of ____" instead of resolutions. That way, the only resolution I really have is that I get better at that one thing. 

2025, for me, is my year of Patience, one I had a few years ago but still continue to want to improve. But as I thought about how to create a ZOX that would effectively embody pretty much any word in our fill-in-the-blank Year of _____,  this idea of seeing the good in every situation just kept coming up. 

You see, often times we find ourselves overreacting. Maybe we get upset quickly, or the second we face any hardship, we immediately doubt our abilities. But like I wrote on the card, I think that's the wrong perspective:

It's easy to find a reason to be upset. 
It's essential to find a reason to be happy. 

When you focus on seeing the good in every situation, the world begins to shift. Things that used to leave your body feeling tense and you worried about them constantly just start to fall away, and you're left with this calming feeling that it's all going to be okay. 

That's my hope for you, my friend. That in 2025, over everything else, you let yourself see more of the good all around you. You deserve it.
