HOW GRATITUDE SAVED MY LIFE!
Submitted by: Olivia M
Canberra, AustraliaI was working in a highly stressful job with unreasonable hours and workload. I was so overwhelmed that I began suffering from severe situational anxiety and panic attacks. My head would spin and my heart would beat rapidly. I would shake, suffer headaches, and panic when I walked into the office. I shut myself away from my friends and family, stopped socializing, exercising, and practicing self-care.
I couldn’t cope with not having control over my anxious body and mind; the anxiety had completely taken over all areas of my life. I was desperately unhappy and I couldn’t see any escape, so I starting making plans to take my own life.
Yet something stopped me – made me pause and reconsider.
Having watched The Secret, and having deep faith in the Universe, I felt called to purchase The Magic and began working through the daily gratitude practices.
It was challenging at first, but slowly, it became easier as things in my life began to shift. The changes were small at first, such as a loving text message from a friend, a compliment or social outing that brought me unexpected joy, and then more significant things began to happen.
On day ten, without any previous notice, I was placed on paid stress leave by my employer and given time to rest. By day twenty, I had a clear vision of the type of job I wanted, and amazing career opportunities in my field of expertise kept manifesting. I boldly resigned from my stressful job and never returned to the office.
By day twenty-four, I knew that these practices had saved my life. Having been given time to rest and recuperate, I had the space to think in gratitude and design my order to the Universe for the life I wanted. I trust and believe everything on my list is on its way.
I have gone from being broken and desperate to waking up in a state of euphoric joy each day, and giving thanks for all that I have.
On day twenty-eight of reading and practicing The Magic, I was offered my dream job. Not only do the role and the company match all the criteria on my “Universal wish list,” but the salary offered is the exact dollar amount I wrote on the check from the book. I had goose bumps when I received the formal job offer. I couldn’t believe that everything I ordered had been handed to me by the divine Universe!
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
