Being grateful for your life and all those things, persons and experiences that your life is consisted of is in my opinion very important in order to learn to love yourself and have a positive outlook as well as forgive those who you think might have hurt you. I decided today to make an alphabetical list of things in my life that I am grateful for and I have decided to post it here with the intention of urging you as well to take some time and write down things that you are grateful for. The list doesn't need to be replete, in fact it would be better not to be so that you can make it a habit of adding five new things that you are grateful for every day.
Also, recently I realised that we all possess a mind with tremendous creative and destructive power and if we want to see our lives changing we must start making use of the creative power of our mind. This is very important! I hope that you will too realise that there is no point in prolonging this torture we all feel because of our anxieties and that you will start making positive changes to your life beginning with the most crucial thing which is the transformation of the negative thinking into a positive one. I know that the task might seem a bit daunting, but it is always difficult at the beginning. Cease at once all the negative thinking even if it seems realistic and reflects your life as it currently is. Visualise and think of a happy life, a life free of anxieties and profuse in its blessings, beauty, goodness. You can do it!
