For me I often try to compartmentalize problematic periods in my life. I won’t ignore the problem completely, it’s impossible. But I make sure that each morning I plan something that will bring me happiness and joy in the evening. It can be simple things, like watching a nice movie, eating something nice or reading a book.
Great approach! I try to do the same, no matter how bleak the situation appears. Sometimes all we need is a shift of perspective to find a possible solution. Maybe that's what's missing, regarding the world situation. People focus too much on the wrong things: possessions, when indeed the most valuable elements we can have in our life are health, in all aspects, and our loved ones close to us, one way or another.
What metaphorical light do you use to guide you through dark moments in your life?
There is light in all of us. I try to rely on my own to give meaning to other people's lives. The acts of helping and caring for others make me happy.
Thank you for sharing! Beautiful photos, as always, and a valuable conversation.
Thank you for you awesome comment ! You’re absolutely right, we do focus on the wrong things and we tend to cling on to the negative much easier then something positive. But we need to always remind ourselves of the important things and find happiness here and now.

That is one of the most important things. We shouldn’t focus so much on ourselves, because it’s through others we find true happiness. Like they say Happiness doesn’t mean anything if we don’t have anyone to share it with.
