[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have you not taken short vacations before? Then consider yourself lucky :)

You’re already operating in a deficit mindset. Poor me, we don’t have as much time as I want, we only have one activity a day planned. You need to go in with an asset-based mindset. Even if you don’t believe yourself at first you have to think/say the positive/grateful thoughts. You can actually change your mindset this way if you’re open to it.

“We get to celebrate the milestone of our daughter’s graduation! So proud of her!”

“We get to go on this exciting vacation!”

“We get to have relaxing time AND have planned events every day.”

“We get to spend time as a family”

“We get to have….” (Now it’s your turn to fill in the blanks)

Anytime you have a “we only have” or “I wish we had” thought—acknowledge it and say BUT we also…. (And fill in a thought like the ones above)[/quote]

This is such great life advice for really anything. Thank you to this person. A positive mindset and gratitude is key. [/quote]

You’re welcome! It’s taken me decades to work on this. I didn’t have an easy childhood and while I have a wonderful family now, we aren’t wealthy and do a lot more than I did as a child, but am surrounded by families who have the means to do more. I have been jealous in the past and I realize it’s been a waste of my time and energy. So I’ve had to adopt this asset based mindset and it’s helped me through many many difficult issues. I’m not always positive, but I usually can flip it back so I don’t dig myself deep, if that makes sense :) Hope this is helpful to you!![/quote]
