INPUT ARTICLE: Article: You might come to a point in your life when you notice lots of problems around you. Perhaps you feel stuck in your marriage, want a different job, and want a fresh start somewhere else. While you might feel these things, you don't have to act on them. If you feel like running from your problems, try working through them first. Think about what specifically is making you unhappy, then try to create solutions around that. For example, if you feel unhappy in your marriage, keep in mind that changes often occur in a partnership and you may be able to work through it. Consider seeing a therapist or talking to your spouse about creating solutions. Make sure that you are on the lookout for any thoughts of hopelessness. If you notice anything like this, then make sure to use positive self-talk to replace the negative thoughts with positive ones. You might have large aspirations and goals that may not be realistic. While you may need to give up your dreams in some areas, create goals in others. Maybe you never got your book published or achieved fame, but you've had a fulfilling life in other ways. You won't reach your childhood dream of being an astronaut, but you can achieve other dreams. Create financial, family, romantic, career, and health goals. For example, aim to finish a marathon or completing a silent meditation retreat. Make sure that you do not compare yourself to other people. If you find that you are doing this, then try taking a break from social media to avoid seeing what other people are up to. Accept that you are an adult and have responsibilities. Instead of resenting your roles and responsibilities, find what you can be grateful for in your life. For example, if you envy your children's carefree lives while you work tirelessly at a job you don't enjoy, remember that you play a vital role in their lives and are blessed to have a job. Instead of seeing things as burdens, see them as gifts that contribute to the life you've created and that you're creating. Keep in mind that there are people who desperately want, pray for, and need the things that you may see as burdens. Start a gratitude journal to get into a regular habit of practicing thankfulness.

SUMMARY: Face your problems. Find new goals. Appreciate the life you have.
