It is very hard to redirect your mind to gratitude when you are caught in worry thoughts so it can be useful to move to awareness of the present and a still mind before trying to move to these more positive thought patterns.
I just needed one small tiny spark of light in order to get out of all that darkness, and the spark was gratitude. I was reminded that I could still use it, no matter how bad things got. Thanks for your awesome post, it reminded me of the present. That's what I love about this site, I can always count on positive feedback, no matter what.
