Whenever I am feeling unhappy or ingrateful, I try to remind myself that everything is relative, and you can legitimately change your perspective if you are feeling drained or demotivated by something if you consider what the distant alternative would be.
For instance, all the people who is complaining about being at condo during the quarantine right now should consider these stressful times in their lives when they barely had any time at condo because of their outside obligations. Anyone who is feeling drained plus sleepy by their relationship should consider what it’s love when they’re single. These mornings, anytime our teenagers beginning complaining about the indoor air conditions, I love to provide them a solid reminder of how it feels to live without it, then since we’re all stuck at condo for the COVID-19 pandemic, our teenagers guess that the central heating plus air conditioners should be at their mercy. Unluckyly, they have much more expensive taste in indoor air conditions than both of us can afford. I simply can’t run the air conditioner 24/7 the way they desire. I found that instead of telling them the thermostat is off limits, it’s easier to remind them of how blessed they are to own an A/C device at all. So, when our teenagers beginning complaining or trying to fiddle with the indoor air temperature control, I send them out on some kind of chore or errand outdoors. Within 10 minutes of being in the pounding son plus 90% humidity, they are clamoring to come back inside plus care about the air conditioner at the same temperature they were just complaining about. I don’t hear any complaints about the indoor air temperature after they have experienced the outdoor weather conditions. Remember, everything is relative.
