Day 55 on the negativity fast. I feel brand new because of it. I honestly feel that i am inhabiting a different place in space. Otherworldly is the only way I can describe the connection between searching for gratitude in every situation and having more joy. I am not suggesting that disappointment, sadness and anger still don’t surface. Nor am I suggesting that trauma and tragically painful situations are overlooked or minimized. However, gratitude does seem to do the heavy lifting of moving me from disappointment or anger to genuine grace and mercy. Stated more simply, focusing on others best selves, even when their worst have shown up, is truly helping me love better, feel happier and just have more fun. There is a phrase that is in the Bible that encourages us all to take captive every thought so that we can be who we were meant to be, full of joy and grounded in love. I am considering joy and her wrappings as my conscious decision to be responsible for my own personal “state of the union”. Understanding joy in this context forces me to acknowledge that I have the ability and responsibility, moment by moment to choose to “take captive” any thought that moves me away from forgiveness, mercy, love, grace, peace, hope, faith and joy. Thank you negativity fast for bringing me one step closer to generating more love and peace.
