Drop and give me gratitude

You know those times when you are immersed in a situation that has you feeling out of your normal internal harmony?

You can tell, because it usually feels like apprehension, self-doubt, agitation, or some other offspring of fear. Aw snap, did I just screw up?!?

Oh, and you’re likely spinning up in it, too. Crap oh crap oh crap it needed to be done – but could I have done it better?

Self-reflection turns into self-flagellation.

Yeah, me too.

This is when I try to remember to physically stop, and then immediately send up a surrender: Help, please.

And I just now realized my next best step to take in that moment of pause and potential: find something to be grateful for. And another. And another.

Bonus challenge round: what can I be grateful for about this situation?

Yeah, me too.
