The one healer
Feb 23, 2021
"When we are training in the art of peace, we are not given any promises that, because of our noble intentions, everything will be okay. In fact, there are no promises of fruition at all. Instead, we are encouraged to simply look deeply at joy and sorrow, at laughing and crying, at hoping and fearing, at all that lives and dies. We learn that what truly heals is gratitude and tenderness." ~ Pema Chodron
When all else fails, turn to gratitude.
Feeling anxious, fearful or upset?
Ask yourself, “What am I grateful for?”
Feeling like nothing is going your way?
Pause, and ask, “What am I grateful for right now?”
Feeling joyful, energized or contentment?
Ask yourself, “What am I grateful for?”
Feeling like life is moving with ease (maybe you’re a little fearful that ease won’t last)?
Ask yourself, “What am I grateful for?”
It works both ways because what you focus on grows.
It’s unquantifiable (gratitude isn’t too large or too small).
Simply challenge yourself to tune into gratitude. Feel it.
Allow yourself to be fully present with it.
Be aware of what happens next.
