How do you focus on the good when the bad seems to overwhelm you?

It happens to me a lot but, to get over it, you need to know that no matter what you'll be all right. A good exercise to make that happen is talking to yourself through the mirror, talk to you like if there is somebody else listening to you, tell him all your problems, and at the end say to you that you're proud of what you've become, you believe in yourself and you'll still love you despite all the problems

By writing a gratitude list and remembering all I have to be grateful for. Also, feeling the emotion and letting it then pass. Sometimes even journaling, doodling, or even lying in bed to do absolutely nothing. Are all ways I cope with the bad
