The Magic
Aug. 29
Count your blessings. Make a
list of ten blessings. Write why
you’re grateful. Reread your list, and at the end of each blessing say thank you, thank you, thank you, and
feel as grateful for that blessing as you can.
*** That I did
NOT get horribly depressed this summer. Last year was death-hell of depression!
What changed? Well, *mostly* I think what changed was since April.
1.
Reading the book,
“The Magic” by Rhonda Byrne. DOING the exercises for the 28 days, and the “maintenance”
straight through including now.
2.
And investing in a
Nutribullet (about a hundred dollars) and using it daily for green veggies.
3.
Last week of June
started exercising (21 Day Fix) You do NOT have to be perfect!
4.
June 30 started
their food plan. (And I am DEFINITELY not perfect!)
5.
Shakeology. No I
do not make any money by “touting” it!!! It helps me.
6.
Same with Activit.
No money for “promoting.” Yes, it helps me.
7.
Buying little
treats like cute exercise outfits – 2 so have when other is being washed.
8.
Using exercise
nice mat (really meant as floor for tent) which already had around.
9.
Quitting shrink
whose wife truly went crazy and was harassing me like 30 times a day literally
and viciously (on phone).
10.
2 coffees every
morning starts mood lightening.
11.
Currently in the
30’s of 100 Days of Happiness Challenge.
12.
Going out more!
With friends. And alone.
13.
Keeping things
lighter
14.
Reading
15.
PIANO! Helps me a
TON
16.
French! (which I
started in Feb.) She is fabulous and I can’t get over the price! Like ½ - 1/3
of what many are!
17.
Using the library
18.
Going back to bed.
I was sleeping on the den sofa for 13 months!
19.
Cleaning more and
better, including clutter – almost totally gone!
20.
Cooking and
freezing more and more (started in Aug)
21.
Keeping busier ex
5 day arts course I loved in July and doing a professional day in July too.
22.
Taking things a
bit easier and slower. Almost never on multi-task frenetic treadmill race!
Thank you. Thank you thank you
thank you!
THANK YOU!
I am truly blessed to have
this feeling.
Because last night I was down.
But sleep, one cup of coffee, and MINUTES of piano and I am back!
Oh, thank you thank you thank
you!
I am so happy and grateful for
my friend M.A.
Because we know and accept and
love each other.
And I have plans with her once
a week plus phone calls.
Thank you thank you thank you!
I am truly grateful for my
great visit with mother and M yesterday
Because I know it brings my
mother pleasure. And frankly, it brings me pleasure and M pleasure too!
Thank you thank you thank you!
With all my heart, thank you
for plans today and tomorrow
Because
I won’t be so lonely.
Oh,
thank you thank you thank you!
I am truly blessed to have the
opportunity to cook in advance for the week
Because the fact is I do NOT
cook when get home and exhausted. And this way, my healthy foods will be ready
to heat (or not heat) and eat: )
Thank you thank you thank you!
I am so happy and grateful for
my book to read
Because it is something useful
I have to do. Now don’t get me wrong, Universe. I BELIEVE we’re meant to romp
in Eden. And at this time I can’t so much do that without beloved. But CAN have
nice times and CONTRIBUTE!
Thank you thank you thank you!
I am truly grateful for my paper to write
Because it also gives me something useful to do. AND
it earns me a little money!
Thank you thank you thank you!
With all my heart, thank you
for feeling well enough to exercise today
Because I need it.
Now I have done it, and feel
SO good! MISSED those days had to skip because of true pain and exhaustion
(from classroom set-up).
Thank you thank you thank you!
I am so incredibly fortunate
and lucky and grateful for coffee with A on computer in mornings
Because I am not alone. I am
with a friend in the morning (virtual, but still).
Thank you thank you thank you!
I am so incredibly fortunate
and lucky and grateful that I get the garbage out regularly now
Because I used to really
struggle with that!
It was a BIG deal. I even
dreamt about it last night!
Thank you thank you thank you!
Thank you thank you thank you!
2. Remember The magic by
counting the blessings of yesterday and writing them down. Ask yourself the
question: What are the good things that
happened yesterday? Scan the surface of yesterday until you feel satisfied
that you’ve remembered and written down all the blessings of the day.
