Don’t Forget!
Seems like at the beginning of every year we put together some New Year’s resolutions and by the end of January we have dropped the ball. How come? Well it’s real easy to fall back into our old ways and bad habits.
The other day I was given an incredible example of that. A chiropractic friend and I were talking, and he said, “one of the biggest problems people have is they always forget”. I said, “what are you talking about?” He said, “we always forget about how lucky we are. We always forget about those intense emotional feelings we have after catastrophic events (hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, school shootings, Boston Marathon tragedy, 9-11). We have this incredible sense of community and love, and then in a few days, weeks or months, we forget. Even after a simple cold we forget how great it is to be healthy and not be all stuffed up.”
So the last blog we were talking about negative talk and trying to stay positive. This blog is more about how to never forget those events, staying positive and being grateful. He was right, we DO forget, so how do we NOT forget?
This is super tough as life seems to always get in the way. Bills show up, the kids get sick, car breaks down, you know the usual stuff. So how do we cope with the ins and outs of everyday life and still have that great outlook?
Certainly we need to focus on this more often than when there is a big disaster, or at Thanksgiving when a lot of people make lists for everything they are thankful for. How about every day? I know, sounds like some effort, and it is, but the reward is amazing!
