While on Job, I slipped and my leg started to have pain. I went to the doctor and was told that my ankle was fractured and I needed to undergo surgery.
I became so frightened that I had no idea how to escape surgery. I prayed by all means to God in full depth, but at the end God prepared me and gave me a strength and courage to undergo surgery.
But after about 30 days due to to much medication, suddenly I felt like I had a hangover that affected my mind and thoughts very badly. I had complete negative thoughts for 5-6 days. I could not sleep and remained very fearful. I had no idea how to survive.
Finally due to God’s immense mercy, my stress started to vanish slowly one day and that gave me tremendous relaxation. Even during my stress at that time, I felt that by putting a lot of effort, I could practice gratitude by thinking about certain things like gratitude, peace, etc.
The interesting thing is that I practised almost all the great things mentioned in Rhonda’s books for more than one year and perhaps that came to my rescue at the time of my dire need.
