Thich Nhat Hanh wrote, "If the presence of the other is refreshing and healing to you, keep hold of this presence and nourish yourself with it. If there are negative things around you, you can always find something that is healthy, refreshing, and healing, and with your mindfulness you can recognize its presence in your life."
What people, places, or things do you find refreshing and healing? How do you recognize and benefit from them? How do you keep hold of these things and nourish yourself with them?
I tend to get stuck on things that are depressing, condemning, angering, guilt-inducing, and overwhelming. I want to search for the things around me that are healthy, refreshing and healing, and focus on those things instead.
