Feeling Grateful in Trying Times
Are you struggling to feel thankful in these trying times? Have you lost your sense of wonder about the world and feel less grateful than usual? With all the craziness of the past few months - COVID-19, elections, crime, just an overall sense of negative energy in the world – it’s not surprising your sense of gratitude has become low or even empty. Being grateful for what one has seems to be a simple task, but surprisingly, for many people, it is not, especially now. With the hustle and bustle of daily life, the development of new gadgets and gizmos (that are supposed to make our lives easier, but they sure seem to complicate them, don’t they?), it can be hard to stay grounded and appreciate the positive things that are a part of your life in the here and now. Here are some tips for increasing (or developing) a sense of gratitude.

The Question
The question that comes into my head. Reoccurring as if the reason is slowly slipping away. Jokes were made & strides to the end goal felt nice but still, emotions rose & the question is live. Filled with imagination, thoughts & explanations reach the surface as you wonder what may come of this.

The Process of Making Yourself A Priority Again
It’s easy to go along with life and not stop to smell the roses. While this is happening, we are susceptible to stress. Most of us have to deal with juggling a career, kids, a social life, and somehow everything else. The world has set expectations for us in work environments based on competition.

Taking a step back now is a step forward in the future.
Have you ever felt trapped in a conversation or within your inner thoughts? Like, always trying to find someone or something to blame for your sadness or anger… It can be quite a difficult situation to untangle yourself from, and sometimes everything just seems so bleak and hopeless. But instead of accusing and blaming others or even yourself, I have found that it would also be more helpful to shift my focus from the “why” to the “what”, in other words, to let go of the past and focus on the present. That is no easy task and takes a lot of courage and humbleness to observe your inner self.

Don't Let Fear Rule Your Life
It’s hard to talk about fear. At any given point in time, there may be a handful of different forms of fear running through us. Perhaps aspects of our life are a direct result of the fear that has come to define the dynamics of our relationships. Perhaps you’re overworked, but afraid of voicing your complaint for fear of being seen as inadequate, or not a team player. Fears of inadequacy and rejection run deep, and can be paralyzing. Fear of failure. Fear of abandonment. Fear of vulnerability. Fear of the past. Fear of the future. Fear of the unknown.

Doing Life
When it comes to life, none of us have an instruction manual. We just kind of live and learn. We know some basics, and maybe a little more from our upbringing; but aside from that, everything is trial by error. We have our own individual experiences, our own set of tools from the knowledge passed on to us from family members, friends, and others. It's incredible how the mind works. When it comes to life, those little bits of information that didn't seem very useful at the time we heard it or saw it, just comes into play one day. It conjures up from the depths of somewhere in our brain that we stashed it long ago, and all of a sudden is very useful in a particular moment, and actually helps us. Life seems like a series of paths, not just one. Like chapters in a book. If you think back to your childhood years, then teen years, and so on; it's like our lives morph or shift into something completely new, over and over again.

Why You Need Patience and How It Can Benefit You
We live in times where high-speed internet connectivity is the norm and everyone has their very own mobile device. From buying our necessities and luxuries, to ordering in our meals, to watching our favorite movies and shows, to connecting with friends far away. These devices, combined with the internet, allow us to do almost anything in a matter of seconds. While there can’t be any complaints about it from a convenience standpoint, one of the greatest negatives of living in this era of instant gratification is the severe lack of patience.
