Scott Mautz writes that there are days when you can't find joy in life. That's when, in his opinion, it's worth remembering the main mantras that help you get out of the emotional pit.

People are now more eager to be happy than ever. They want to learn to enjoy life, despite the terrible events that are happening around them. Scott Mautz, author of the book “The Mentally Strong Leader,” writes that there are days when it is most difficult. That is when, in his opinion, it is worth remembering 5 mantras that help to survive difficult times.

1. “The main thing is not what I lost”

“In times of adversity, we often pay attention to everything bad. Instead, it is better to focus on what we managed to save. This is of great importance! Studies show that forming gratitude improves our well-being,” the author of the book writes.

2. “There is no perfect path”

“When you complain about things not going the way you expected, you risk getting stuck in a negative cycle. Life always has unexpected twists and turns. Accept that and try to overcome the obstacles. Think of an achievement or outcome that can bring you happiness,” Mautz says.

3. “Ignore it”

“Tell yourself, ‘Let it be, let it be.’ This is a cognitive acceptance that will help you get out of the downward spiral. Don’t try to push something bad out of your mind or change your attitude. Let go of the event. Recognize and accept that your emotions are an appropriate response, but focus on how to move forward,” advises Scott.

4. “Big picture, small touches”

“When dealing with setbacks, we can lose perspective. Small problems sometimes seem huge. Tell yourself, ‘The big picture is created by small touches.’ This will remind you of your goal: who you want to be and what kind of life you want to live. When you look at the setback in the context of the big picture, its importance decreases many times,” explains the author.

5. “Happiness is not a destination”

Mautz is confident: “Not all problems lead to negative consequences. The final outcome of adversity is determined by how you react to them. For example, is a failed interview a disaster? Ask yourself: “I would be happy if…” It is easy to fall into the trap of thinking that happiness is a destination. Meanwhile, small joys slip away from your daily life unnoticed.”
