Daily Gratitude

Daily Gratitude: It’s so vital to have a “why” for any major goal or project you have. If your why is deep and strong enough, nothing will stop you. If you have a weak (or no) “why”, then it will be easy to succumb to defeat. So I came up with this idea. If you don’t have much of a “why” you “might” work at it and you “might” achieve that goal. If your “why” is strong and ever present in your head, you will be “mighty” (persistent and powerful and not defeated by problems because you believe in yourself and your idea). The difference is just a “Y” (your “why”).

Daily Gratitude: Most of these things I post are meant for me as well as all of you. One of the hardest thing I’ve ever had to learn is to ask for help.

I am a lot better at this but still have a long way to go. But I have realized that asking for help is not a weakness as I had been taught as a child.

It is a pooling of resources and also provides an opportunity for others to do something kind. Most people want to help others so to keep them from doing that is depriving them. Why be mean? Why not let them feel good about themselves?

The pooling of resources, though, is going to benefit all parties and who knows what great ideas might come out of it?

Wouldn’t it be great if you asked someone for help and/or advice and it turned out better than you ever thought it could? How special that would be.

It’s important to realize that it’s not weakness to ask and once you accept that, it can become easier and easier the more you feel excited about doing so.

Daily Gratitude: It’s hard for me to know how to write about this for others. It’s taken me 75 years to learn to trust myself. But I will admit that I do know how to live and what living is. It took all those years to learn how to regulate my nervous system enough that my brain could engage in something other than fear and protection thoughts. Once my nervous system was liberated, the amount of emotions and experiences I was able to process has been quite enjoyable. Trusting yourself as a human being and not as an animal (which is the way one behaves when they have an unregulated nervous system) will allow you to trust yourself and others. Most of you know whether you trust yourself or not. Work on it by yourself if you need to. Or ask others to help. That’s not so easy when you don’t trust others yet but that could be a step towards the trust – ask for help.
