Episode Pointers:
Imagine that gratitude is like practicing a muscle. It’s like practicing gratitude in your body.
Just because you are grieving doesn't mean you can't practice feeling gratitude.
Grief and gratitude can coexist together and they don't have to cancel each other out.
Remember your thoughts create your feelings, your feelings create your actions, and your actions correct results.
Please don't use these ideas to push down grief and only look for good in the way that you miss out on processing the emotions of pain and grief.
The more we think grateful thoughts, the more grateful ones come to our minds easily.
Remember these things:
This is a practice not a competition.
Feeling true gratitude is not toxic positivity .
Practice feeling gratitude 3 minutes a day and don't give up if you don't feel it right away.
If you want to dive deeper and have a coach who understands grief, and triggers, and what it’s like to be walking with child loss grief, message me at hello@meganhillukka.com and we can chat about how I can help you on your grief journey.
If you want more tools to help you, I have a workshop called Stop Talking Start Feeling, it’s a workshop that dives into emotions, what they are, and how you can begin to feel and process them and get them out of your body instead of stuffing them down. It also goes specifically into processing and releasing the emotions of guilt and sadness. You can get access to this workshop and all the extra things I have in there for only $27. Go to www.stoptalkingstartfeeling.com to check it out.
