It’s important when we’re facing something that’s really hard for us, whether it’s doing taxes, paying bills, or visiting a challenging relative, that we lovingly support ourselves through the process. The more supported we feel, the easier it is to open our minds to the idea that we can change our way of looking at the situation. In truth, most of the chores we don’t like doing are intimately intertwined with our blessings. When we remember this, we feel gratitude, which makes it hard to stay in a dark mood.
When we clean our house, we can shift our attitude by considering how
much we love our home and how lucky we are to have a roof over our
head. Any task can be transformed from a burden to a necessary aspect of
caring for something we love. All we have to do is shift our
perspective, and our attitude will follow shortly behind. (Daily OM)
