Currently, I am on the second day of The Magic book. I have my magic stone and I am practicing gratitude and all of a sudden I feel I have a positive mind from little setbacks.

Yesterday I was 2 hours early for my appointment. I went out just around the corner and started reading The Magic book and writing my lists down. I also went into The Secret Super App and spent time with my gratitude and reading affirmations whilst writing some of my own. I practiced my usual 5 senses mindfulness and went back to reading tomorrow’s chapter, Day 2, of The Magic.

All of a sudden, I lost track of time as I met a couple of people, chatted, and then went back to rereading The Magic book. I was 15 minutes late to my appointment so I requested a rebooking. I was thankful anyway and decided to walk to my Mind For Meditation group. I am taking my recovery very seriously. As I was walking I had a message notification for my medication, and I felt grateful as this gave me the opportunity to go on the free, quit smoking program.

As I reached the hub for meditation, I walked around the garden and found myself a magic stone. I cleaned it and sterilized it and I was holding it throughout my meditation session, feeling grateful and like a new person. I had never felt so relaxed. I felt like I started listening more and found myself easily supporting others in the group. I did not feel alone and it felt really good.

When I reached home and before I fell asleep, I placed my magic rock in the palm of my hand and started being grateful for a successful day and then placed it by the bedside table.
I have learned that my thoughts can be intrusive a lot of the time. I realized that I have to put so much focus on gratitude as I want to change my way of thinking to think in a positive way so that I can problem solve and deal with situations with ease. I am aware that I have a long way to go and I am determined and grateful for having the strength to do so. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I would like to thank Helen Hill for her recommendations and support. It has been a long time since we last spoke, however, I can never forget her because of The Secret. And, The Secret will always remind me of her and I feel like she is still very much here with me through my journey. Thank you, Helen. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Thank you so much!
