Learning Thankfulness And Gratitude.
Submitted by: CB
Manchester UKI am female aged 50, living with 20 year old son who has anxiety issues. I have fantastic family and friends and work colleagues. I am working it out with ex partner and I am happy and grateful for everyone and everything.
I watched The Secret a few months ago and was really amazed by how it stuck in my mind. I promised myself I would treat myself to the books. In the meantime I borrowed The Secret Daily Quotes from the library and downloaded the app so I had The Secret Daily Quotes coming through. I have now bought the book series last week. And what a revelation it was to learn that I have been dealing with things in the wrong way, getting drawn into arguments and feeling sad, bitter and hopeless.
My relationship with my son was at an all time low. This morning he was being very nasty, unpleasant and difficult. But this time instead of fueling the nastiness, I went upstairs and took 5 deep breaths and said thank you that I could do that and sit away from everything for five minutes. I opened up the “10th Anniversary Edition of The Secret” and read the chapter about relationships. I totally forgot about all that nastiness.
A few minutes later my son knocked on the door and said ” It’s fine, I will sort myself out.”. It was not an apology but it was a big break through. I walked to work and noticed the birds singing and all the colors of Autumn around me. On my lunch break I made my Gratitude Journal and printed pictures of people celebrating gratitude and being thankful, and realized I was smiling.
I want to tell all my friends how thankful I am that they are in my life. I can see a compromise with my ex that suits us all. I am feeling so full of love that I can not imagine ever having a negative day ever again.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!
