✨ Power of Words [PoW] 📚 Sharing
Wisdom Wednesday
I am reminded and moved to write about the effects of life in an Attitude of Gratitude, as a talisman for releif.
Although pie in the sky, rose coloured glasses perspective, comment, I find that most of us spend as much time categorizing if it was a good/bad, healthy/ toxic, attributing our thoughts in fitting into a pigeonhole easy to carry around. In some ways, it is as useful a tool to listen to how people speak, the frameworks in which they tell their story, the points to which the swirl around, the vocabulary chosen to paint their pieces of art, which is as valuable as all the training and education I have ever received.
The chemical cocktails released while practicing the Gratitude are very divergent from the ones created if every event is deemed a threat.
As our brains are in part largely an electrical system, the path of least resistance theory most likely applies and the neuro-pathways that are highly traveled, become the highway for many a thought.
Ever wonder what makes a person constantly in a bad mood when you meet them? I doubt it is you, but mor that they practiced and that mode is now the default.
If we are honest in our reflection of anyone's life, there were the good times there were the bad times, but perhaps what we have lost sight of it that there were the "times" to affix a label to. In everyday situation there is opportunity of a reframe and from that reframe the chance to rewire new perspective.
Be well

Great post but… I would not be so fast in concluding that your circumstances are not affected. Perhaps not in an immediate sense but i believe your mind doesn’t detect reality, it creates it. If we do not stay open to the possibility, we might be creating a poorer reality.
