Evening Exercise Day 4
Begin this evening’s work with a gratitude list. Break out your notebook once again. Take a moment to write down a list of ten things in your life that you’re grateful for. They can be big or small — whatever it is you’re grateful for today.
Now let’s go even deeper. This evening is an opportunity to see gratitude in the difficult areas of your life. It’s easy to be grateful for the good stuff, but it’s a whole other thing to be grateful for the difficult areas of life.
Begin by revisiting your notes from Day, when you identified your fears. Then make a list of your top five fears, and then next to each one write what you’ve learned and why you’re grateful for these assignments. Take a moment and try to see your fears in a new light. Couldn’t these difficult situations in your life be offering you opportunities for growth? The answer is YES! This exercise helps you to focus on how your fear is guiding you to grow rather than to stay stuck. So, for instance, maybe noticing your fear in relationships is calling you to deal with a deep feeling of loneliness you experienced as a teenager or after a bad breakup. Maybe there’s a hurt there that never got the proper treatment or time to heal. Or maybe your issue with your family members have brought all the negativity to the surface so that you can deal with it now. Rather than look at your fears as problems, be grateful for the loving assignment for spiritual growth. All problems offer us opportunities to strengthen our faith in love. It may be difficult to see that opportunity to some problems — but be willing to see growth opportunities in all difficult situations.
