I agree! I think we all tend to focus more on the negative and what's wrong with us. It is a shame and a waste of energy.
If I am feeling down I will make sure I give compliments to other people. For example, 'that color looks great on you'. When you see their faces light up from the genuine compliment you feel you have helped someone feel good about themselves.
Also, the more you give compliments, the more you receive them. It all helps to highlight and emphasize the positive and forget about the negative.
