Some notes from this weeks suggestion (asking yourself, "What's not wrong?"
One of my boys was having a hard evening. After some disappointment he exclaimed, "this is the worst day ever!" I told him to get a piece of paper and write down 10 things that are not wrong with today. He returned with a list, it looked like this: 1-Nothing, 2-Nothing, 3-Nothing, 4-Nothing, 5-Nothing, 6-Nothing, 7-Nothing, 8-Nothing, 9-Nothing, 10-Nothing. After some discussion he tried again and came back with an outstanding list. I knew it was in him, he just needed some provoking to bring it out. I sometimes need some provoking too. It would probably do me some good to make a list now and then. Before the next suggestion (probably tomorrow), make a list of ten things that are not wrong with today. It will feel good. Here's mine: 1- The sun is shining, 2- My children are playing happily, 3- I am helping a friend with her child so she can get some R&R...service always feels good, 4- I met with my PT client Angie this morning, she is always a source of joy, 5- I have plenty of food to feed my children, 6- I am healthy, 7- I have a mountain of laundry to fold, which means we have plenty of clothes, 8- I have some great music to listen to while I clean, 9- We are going to Skype with my parents tonight, 10- The birds are back in our maple trees....spring is here!!
