Be mindful of what has your attention and focus on people you care about

the suggestion has two parts: “Really watch where you’re directing your attention, and when you can, direct it towards people you care about”

The first part of this equation hones in on your need to be more aware of what you’re giving your attention to. For example, if you know that certain things, like doom-scrolling on your ex-friend’s social media makes you unhappy, you should aim to do them less.

On the flip side, if talking with your close friends about your dreams and aspirations motivates you to achieve those goals, then do that more.

Practice shifting your attention from the things that make you feel bad to what makes you feel good and the people you care about.
