It occurred to me after I wrote my last post that maybe I’m ignoring the million and one things that I have to be grateful for.
Well, OK, no maybe about it.
I’ve been moping around the last couple of days because everything just feels so overwhelming.
I should note that I’m a person prone to the blues or sadness or whatever you want to call it. I seldom get really depressed but I do often get extremely anxious. The last really bad bout I had was earlier this year.
Which is one of the driving forces for this project. I need something positive to focus on or I worry. Of course now that I have the project going I still worry, but mostly about how I could ever make such a thing happen. Still, whilst my subconscious is busy worrying about, it does stop me thinking “my boyfriend spent a night out – oh my god, he must be going to break up with me!” or whatever variation I choose to obsess about in my day to day life.
From my work with Law of Attraction I’ve learnt that anxiety, or worrying as it most often presents, is just visualization. But, not in a good way.
So … I need to change those messages from worry to success and happiness.
The problem is emotions are a scale. If you’re feeling anxious and sad it’s fairly difficult to get to confident and happy without trailing through disappointment, hopefulness and contentment on the way.
One of the keys to moving up the scale is gratitude. It’s simple to take some time every day and focus on what I’m grateful for.
Every time I do I realise the answer is – a lot.
So today I am so happy and grateful that…
- I have a new job and I’m enjoying it so much
- That my children are healthy and well adjusted
- I have such a wonderfully gentle and kind partner
- My car is … well old and in need of replacing but I’m grateful to have it
- I’ve learnt so many different techniques for feeling better
- I’m taking steps toward achieving my dreams
