Whenever someone asked my grandmother how she was doing, she would respond with a quote that I grew up hearing constantly. At the time, it seemed like nothing more than a funny saying because I was so used to it. It wasn't until much later in my life that I realized it was a powerful mindset hack. She understood that not everything was good, but except from the bad, everything else was. Her positivity and happiness always lit up the room, and now I understand why. She had an abundance of wisdom nuggets, and she shared them because she truly lived by these principles. She chose to separate the good from the bad and used family gatherings and meetings with friends as opportunities to cherish the moment and highlight the good things she had carefully selected to share. Instead of listing her problems and engaging in complaints, she created simple and joyful moments with those who asked about how she was doing. I miss her deeply, but I still feel her presence in everything I do because many of my positive mindsets were seeds planted by her.

Here's a tip: when asked how you're doing, try highlighting positive experiences or things you're looking forward to instead of dwelling on problems. When people ask you how you are doing, how do you respond? Do you focus on the positive and spontaneous, or do you lean towards the negative and complaining?
