Did you just say, what blessings?
There are many days when I've felt that way too. When life weighs down on you and you think the whole world has conspired to get at you. It's a spiral staircase that goes down, down and further down with no sign of letting up.
I have been where you have been, and you may not believe me, because when you are in it, it looks like only you are going through it and the rest of the world is better off. But we all have our hells and we find ways of getting ourselves out.
One of the better ways of pulling yourself out of this self defeating spiral is to take stock of the blessings in your life. Yes, even at its worst there is always something to be grateful for.
You are able to read it - you have eyes and you are literate. Millions don't have this luxury.
You have electricity right now. Millions are suffering without electricity or for very very less periods of time.
You have energy and the ability to move and be fully or reasonably self reliant in your daily routine. Many others would give an arm and a leg to have that.
The list is endless. There are many many things working in your life right now. In your body. In your relationships. In your finances. In your health. In your family, city, country. Nature is in bloom and butterflies and birds are fluttering about. Did you notice them?
Notice the stuff that works. Notice the millions of things that once gave you so much of pleasure and that you take for granted now.
List them. Celebrate them. You are unique. You have the ability to dig yourself out of any hole, any size.
So get to work and dispel those frowns and tensions.
Get active. Connect with people. Give of yourself. Learn something new. become aware of your surroundings and the good things that are still there in your life.
I love you. Life loves you.
