Gratitude When Life’s a Train Wreck?

…..” You gotta be kidding. My life is falling apart, and I’m supposed to be grateful?

Well, yes.

I know it sounds crazy when it all became a disaster. If you or your loved one is fighting against a terminal illness serious, even if you lost your job or even your home if your marriage or long-term relationship is in big trouble and more …

Life can sometimes be as simple, hell and I do not sweeten.

But you still have choices. You always have the choice.

You may not have a choice of what happens, but there is always a choice about how to respond.

“Doc, this sounds like a lot of irrelevant pie-in-the-sky happy talk. Give me something real to me.”

Well, here’s the deal: the reality is, is here amid the wreckage beep. It’s reality, so let’s recognize what it is and not try to pretend it’s a wonderful thing. Maybe later we can see no blessing in it, or maybe, but now the situation stinks frankly.

So first ask yourself: “Is it really me or someone else to sink into depression, anger, self-pity, or mental paralysis?

I guess the answer is obvious, no?

This is really not easy to obtain resources in a state of mind when you’re in a deep crisis. But being in a state of resources is the absolute best way to overcome.

One of the best ways ever to enter a state of resources is to practice gratitude. Yes, I said the practical recognition. This means that we will have to work on it, because if it were easy it would not need this article.

However, it is basically simple, but do not confuse simple with easy. So here’s the task.

Get something to write with and something to write.

Start dialing. Just one list, something you can be grateful. Everything that I do not like their size. If you can not think of anything to thank you personally think of something there in the world to be grateful. Be thankful that everyone going through the same thing as you. Who are the great wonderful things there, somewhere, someone.

Now do it again. And when you have more things to do. Then tomorrow to pick up your list again, note the number that comes and reread the list from the previous day. Then add at least one other thing.

Repeat every day.

Soon you will see good things. You will find that depression, anger, desperation starts to rise just a moment here at different times in a short time, perhaps two or three minutes at a time.

“Yes, but …”

No, it can not magically transform the situation. But starting to get into a more resourceful state of mind, and you will find a choice of more positive thoughts, and even find solutions that would never have seen who had remained in the negative state of mind.

The situation may change, but you can find peace, empowerment and incredibly, the joy in tragedy even if you are faithful to this simple but profound process.

At first, whenever you think of something good, you should find your mind has an automatic “but”. Example: “I am grateful that I still have eyes to see.” “Yes, but – I see only sadness.

Well, that’s normal. They expect these things, and when they just tell you along “Oh, it’s one of those yes-but”. Go ahead and achieve it, just do not give much thought. Then turn your mind to your list of thanks. You probably do it again and again.

It is a kind of discipline, honesty. It is your task. Do. Seriously. Start now.
