Daily inspiration - Use gratitude to get out of discouragement
Use gratitude to get out of discouragement.
Have you ever felt so discouraged you sought comfort in overeating or other compulsive behaviors?
During your discouragement, try summoning up some gratitude. When you are eating compulsively and fearing you will regain your weight, self loathing or other negative emotions will not help. Nurture an attitude of gratitude so that even in hard times, even when you are getting sucked under in a raging swirl of discouragement, you are focusing on the way out.
Action for the day: No matter how you feel today, write down five things for which you are grateful.

Life could not get any better than this!
I've made a vow that part of my journey will be to improve on both of those things and try and view myself in a positive light. I know what I'm doing is wrong, I mean I would never talk about someone else the way I talk about myself, but after 43 years, it's a hard habit to break!
