I'm not suggesting that gratitude is a cure but I do find that it helps. If you try it, I recommend writing down your list in the same notebook/document each day. The next time you're having a dark day...you can pull out your list and remind yourself of all that goodness and hopefully feel better! You can also share/practice with others in your home or workplace...on a day when someone is finding it hard to feel grateful, you can invite them to read someone else's list.
My problem is I don't have a lot of good things in my life.

I'm so sorry you're feeling that way, Buffy01 I believe joy can come from the simplest things sometimes. Does anything come to your mind at the moment? It doesn't matter how small. You could be grateful for a nice lunch you've had, for example. Or a nice nap. Sending many hugs to you

Great advice MickeyCheeky....a long hot shower, a comforting scent, a soft warm blanket wrapped around you...a crescent moon at night, reflection of light on water, rippling wave effect...nature is all around to comfort and reassure us

And PC friends for and

I used to get migraines; they're awful. I am glad you are a feeling a bit better today SlumberKitty. Acupuncture from a TCM doc (PhD) got rid of my migraines entirely. Maybe it could help you Take care.

I got triggered quite bad today so I'm still recovering from the negative shadow, I guess you could say.

But I'm grateful for my fellow countrymen and women and the social services they provide, as I've had to make use of them today.

And I'm also grateful for the weather right now, as it's summer [sorry, I could only manage two].

So sorry you have been struggling today MoteofSoul. Peace and healing energy to you. Btw, you are not expected or required to provide 5 things for the gratitude thread. I try to do 5 each day just based on a happiness study I read. But any and all responses are welcome and appreciated. Well done for sharing some gratitude even on a bad day for you. I admire your strength and courage

Thank you, Hope. And I'll be absorbing that healing energy of yours - I think it's taking effect already.

I quite like this thread, thank you.
