As happens, from time to time, I forget my own advice.
It's been a bit of a rough few weeks, mood-wise, for me, and even though I ask everyone else what they're grateful for, sometimes I forget to ask myself and find myself gradually going down that low-mood spiral.
The other day as I was getting dressed, I spied this lovely necklace a friend gave me at Christmas, sitting on my shelf. I put it on, thinking "I am deliberately putting on gratitude". I kept remembering to look for what I could be grateful for whenever it brushed against my hand or I saw it out of the corner of my eye. It's not a lucky charm, no, no, but a physical reminder. Sometimes gratitude doesn't come easily. Sometimes we need all the help we can get.
Do you have something like this, a physical reminder to help you change your thinking?
