Gratitude and relationship therapy in New London county, Connecticut
Therefore, next time when you feel down or have a bad day happening, think of three things that you are grateful for and you may feel your whole day take a positive shift.
Resiliency and Gratitude
When people go about their days thinking about all the negativity, all the money they don’t have, how their neighbors have a bigger better house, how they wish they were in a different job, anyone would become deeply depressed with that attitude. Instead, think gratitude- small, little things. Even if you are alone in an amazing hotel room, with a beautiful view, a delicious seafood meal, and fine clothes, you may still be left with lingering feelings of loneliness, insecurity, self-doubt, and depression.
Next time you are in this situation, think gratitude for resilience.
First, this is a great technique to teach your children, adolescents, teenagers, and young adults as a lifelong skill! So, to focus on gratitude, recall three things that went well for you that day. For instance, 1) I woke up alive. 2) I am wearing clothes. 3) I have food in my belly. These can be simple and easy.
Doing this will create a positive shift in your life and you will feel so much better about yourself. You’ll also be setting yourself up for longevity, resilience, balanced mood, and a healthy life!
I would love to help you develop gratitude and work on your relationships in therapy.
