Ready2Change (5) - No trust

[Ready2Change]

I am doing the "nesting" thing and during my W's parenting time I am away from the house. Last Thursday I spent at my moms house. I didn't have my own book to read, so I found one of hers and was reading. (I'll see if I can get author/title next time I'm up there) While reading this book, another one of those "light bulb moment" happened.

It talked about cherishing every moment. The author stated that most people focus on cherishing only the 5% that they consider special moments and not paying attention to the good things the other 95% of the time. One example of what she said: Have your favorite picture located so it is the first thing you see when you wake up. She said surround yourself with things you enjoy....

Anyway, I took the time to enjoy "the now" by looking at how nice mom had the guess room decorated, how nice the carpet felt to my feet. In the shower I really focused on how nice the warm water felt, the interesting smell of the soap. I really liked the coloring of the washcloth....I did this throughout the day, and guess what...I had a great day!

So, the point is, there are so many things that you can enjoy, they will significantly outweigh the negative things we perceive are happening right now....
