What is discouragement?

When you realize yourself discouraged, stop, breathe and observe your feelings: what are you feeling? Where is this feeling coming from? What are you thinking that is generating this discouragement?

Discouragement is a victimization that often engulfs us. In the most difficult moments, redouble your attention to your feelings, inner fantasies and thoughts.

It is the thought that creates discouragement. By understanding this, you become capable of changing, re-signifying everyday situations: using a soap you like, cooking something that gives you pleasure, or any other attitude.

Even if it’s a small gesture, start committing to your own pleasure.

Your problems won’t go away, but you will look at them in a softer and more determined way.
