Day 7 - The Magical Way out of Negativity.

Still on the topic of Rhonda Byrne's "The Magic".


"Let us rise up and be thankful, for if we didn't learn a lot today, at least we learned a little, and if we didn't learn a little, at least we didn't get sick, and if we got sick, at least we didn't die; so, let us all be thankful."
~ Gautama Buddha


Hmmm. Today's challenge. Put your thinking cap on, pick one current issue or prickly situation you'd like to resolve, and...look for ten things to be grateful for. 
Yep, you read right. Grab that stylo & paper and pen down 10 things that are not that bad in your chosen situation.


I had a bit of a frustrating day with one miscommunication after the other. The easy option was to get my sorry self home and collapse on the coach with a bowl of ice-cream. Far more enriching though was my decision to rather do this exercise for it certainly turned my negative state around. Even better yet is my renewed sense of seeking for solutions, opportunities and possibilities as opposed to feeling stymied by my perceived limitations.


And all of a sudden the heart opened :)
