When we mull things over in our minds do we focus on the negative or on the positive?

To mull is to think deeply on a subject. So, do you think deeply on all the bad and negative events? A lot of people do and then work themselves up into such a bad state of mind and mood.

There are people who do reflect on the good events but do they mull them over in their mind to relive them on a bad day to brighten their mood?

When we find ourselves in a bad state reliving the bad events because our brain has been trained to do this activity, we can stop this behavior and start mulling over the good events in our life to lift our mood.

Negative people will always look for the negative.

Positive people will do their best to look for the positive and while negative events affect them, they do their best to remember the good.

There is a blessing in everything bad or negative that happens - we just have to look for it.

I thought having a severe case of the flu was a very bad event. What having the flu did was jump start my metabolism into working again so I could lose weight, which I had a difficult time doing over the past six months.
