I have so many things that are good in my life but dwell on being laid off 6 months ago for less than just reasons. My goal is to get to a place where I have more unconditional yes responses than no which leads to anxiety, depression and sadness. 1 Reply Laura May1 year agoLaura MayBeing a little braver, remembering to be more present, be more grateful for all that I have. 1 Reply Malag1 year agoMalagIt’s going to happen anyway so I might as well get on for the ride. I am visualising trying to hold back a waterfall with my hands, body, everything bracing against it: exhausting. I’ll let the water flow today – say yes to it. 4 Reply Palm1 year agoPalmMalag, I’ve been wanting to say that it’s nice to see you again, we hadn’t seen you for a while. The image you give above is so effective, thank you, and blessings 0 Reply Malag1 year agoMalagThanks, Palm. Good to be here 1 Reply Palm1 year agoPalmAcceptance, open eyes to the truth, holding both joy and sorrow 2 Reply 1 year agoWaking up at the same hour Palm! The only difference is the season of the year … ?❤ 2 Reply Palm1 year agoPalmYes Anna! And now the day must be almost over for you too ?? 2 Reply Malag1 year agoMalagSo true 2 Reply 1 year agoPeople I meet, people I love, people. Nature. Art.

Lately, being busy with school has felt overwhelming, but maybe if I see all the “work” as simply so many opportunities to grow in knowledge that I don’t even know how to fit it all in, that is a positive shift in perspective! 3 Reply Michele1 year agoMicheleYour response made me think of the famous quote from The Shining: “all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy” some October humor for you:) 1 Reply beata1 year agobeatachange of mindset, in some part it became possible for me today 4 Reply Melanie1 year agoMelanieTo intentionally make a personal attempt to connect with everyone I interact with today. 3 Reply Ose1 year agoOseFor tonight, I say an unconditional “yes” to recover from a long and busy day, “good night”, tired as I am now, I wish all who visit and share here a good rest and sweet dreams, and a “yes” for another day to come and to all the gifts it may bring. 6 Reply 1 year agoI join you, Ose! 5 Reply Mica1 year agoMicaThis question helps. Not ‘shoulding on’ myself is probably the biggest help – doing what I want, not what I should do. It’s getting easier to do now, in retirement and with practice – I want to do the routine chores, after they’ve remained un-done for a while, and I let myself play, without shoulding myself against playing. 7 Reply Tom1 year agoTomAcceptance and allowing for all of life. 4 Reply Carla1 year agoCarlaI know by Power of Grace I am right where I’m supposed to be & all things unfold by Creature’s plan. 4 Reply pkr1 year agopkrAcceptance, surrender and love. ❤️? 4 Reply MES1 year agoMESPeace of mind. 5 Reply RubyBlue1 year agoRubyBlueRadical acceptance and loving kindness 4 Reply Ann1 year agoAnnThat when faced with an unexpected experience, remembering that it is part of the ‘bigger picture.’ 6 Reply Antoinette1 year agoAntoinetteYes I’m getting ready to go to the hospital again .

About four month ago I made a significant life change and I've doubted that decision/change everyday. The analogy I'm working with is that I was a catepillar who three months ago entered my enclosure. The hope being that my life as it is now will evolve and change at some point so that I can emerge from the enclosure. The hope of course is that I'll come out a butterfly rather than a moth. And, I've no idea when that will happen. As such, saying "yes" unconditionally evades my stubbornnes...Yikes. About four month ago I made a significant life change and I’ve doubted that decision/change everyday. The analogy I’m working with is that I was a catepillar who three months ago entered my enclosure.

And, I’ve no idea when that will happen. As such, saying “yes” unconditionally evades my stubbornness, fear, and need for acceptance. Be less stubborn, be less afraid, and accept things and I may actually say an unconditional yes to this life in transition.

I say this, of course, not knowing what your ‘moth’ would be! 6 Reply MES1 year agoMESAnd the greatest challenge is fear. How did we all learn such a wasted practice to apply fear to everything? Sometimes, my stomach gets in knots over nothing. But, I’m working on it. It is what it is. 🙂 8 Reply GCharlotte1 year agoGCharlotteWhat would help me say an unconditional yes to my life as it is today? God may help me. My forgiveness may help me. Gratitude.

It must be tended to daily. 4 Reply Michele1 year agoMicheleBy remaining positive … I’ve gotten in the habit of trying to say each morning ‘something wonderful will happen today’. It makes me smile and is a good way to start the day off. 10 Reply Serafina1 year agoSerafinaThank you Michele… I started this morning with ‘something wonderful will happen today’. I think I will write it down and put it next to my kettle until it becomes a habit. 1 Reply Tom1 year agoTomMichele, I like your morning saying “something wonderful will happen”, this is a good reminder to me to be on the lookout for the wonderful things that happen everyday. I often miss them because they can seem mundane, but really there are many wonderful things that will happen today, 4 Reply Michele1 year agoMicheleThanks Tom:) 1 Reply 1 2 Next » My Private Gratitude Journal Write an entry in your private gratefulness journal Get Started This site is brought to you by A Network for Grateful Living, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit.
