Too often in the journey to healing - or life in general - I think we focus on what we have not yet accomplished or the hard work we have put in yet still are not where we want to be.
Yet if we slow down for a minute and put things in a different perspective we can find the hope that keeps us moving foward.
How often have you felt "down in the dumps"?
Yeah - me too.
And when you're there in the dumps, what are some of the thoughts that run through your head? Does the focus of your thoughts seem to be everything that you don't have? Is it the missed opportunities or broken relaitonships? What about money? Do you go to the store focussed on all the bling that you want but dont have? And the car - as you drive down the street in your car that needs tons of work just to keep it on the road do you look at those who drive the latest and greatest?
Yeah - me too.
Focussing on the things you don't have or the hard work of healing or just living life in general can zap your energy and mood faster that anything. BUT - the secret is that you don't have to stay "down in the dumps" or "depressed".
And - the solution isnt going to cost you anything. It's completely free!
Here it is...drum roll please.....:)
Try looking at your journey as though you are moving TOWARD something instead of trying to GET AWAY from somthing.
So try it. Now. What is it that you think is keeping you where you are?
Are you making progress and moving TOWARD your goals?
Progress - somedays its those baby steps and some days it comes in giant leaps of sudden insight and awareness. But it is ALWAYS moving TO something v. trying to GET AWAY from something.
Interesting.
Try it. Good things are guaranteed!
