In case anyone hasn’t told you yet Mel, I love you! ❤ I finished my prayers, got in from my morning stretch on the porch with our dogs, letting the chickens out and feeding the horses & donkeys. Now I am sitting down to my gratitude journal, a cup of coffee (after my water) and turned this fabulous talk, a great way to start my day. I am grateful for this life which includes many difficult things but it’s mine and mine alone to live. Keep doing brave things. Much love and respect, B ❤🙏🏼

I live in south africa but i work in a african country on a construction project. The community is extremely poor and every day there is a little girl on the side of the road selling charchoal sitting all by her self in the dust under a tree. I passed the one day slowly as there was a truck infront of me. I geuss she is probably about between 12 and 14 and i was looking at her and she had sand in the palm of her hand and she through the sand up in the air and then she saw the dust cloud from throwing the dust into the air and she laughed so loud and she was amazed by what she did and i was looking at this moment and thought why am i sabotaging my brain and self doubt and fear and convincing myself that i am not good enough and dont have enough while she was sitting right there with the same clothes day in and day out and i am having all these doubts everyday made me question my thoughts and my life and to be gratefull for everything. Thank you Mel first time i am listening to you and you are helping me alot.

I changed my glasses and left a job that I thought I couldn’t change . I believed in myself that I can do this . And my mental state is so much better . I feel empowered and now in charge of my own destiny . No longer working in a job that I don’t feel appreciated for .

When I quit drinking a year and a half ago, I couldn't see any changes or improvements, so I started writing a gratitude list every morning after journaling and it has helped me so much, not only for my sobriety but for every single thing in my life. Cheers from Madrid!

My 9 year old son was playing Minecraft in the room with me while I was sewing and listening to this. Everyday since he bounds over to me excited he found a heart. He was listening. Today it was a clover patch of hundreds of hearts and he brought one to me. I love this!!!

38:41 Mel I started this practice today. I practiced ALL day with a few heart-ish shapes in trees and bushes. I got home and my two year old niece was over with my mother. This sweet baby ran up to me and lo and behold she was wearing the cutest pink jumpsuit absolutely COVERED in hearts. I nearly burst into tears because my brain told me … so many hearts for so many happy opportunities waiting to be held by you 😭😭😭

I’m listening to this while peeling my orange and right at the 39:40 minute mark I look down and I see a piece of the orange peel that I just peeled as a shape of heart 🧡🍊

I used to a negative person and honestly had no clue until my husband told me, of course I denied it because I had no clue what he was talking about. So I started observing my thoughts and words and he was right. I started to be positive on purpose (fake it until you make it) a few months later my mom called and I heard the negative in her so much (where I got it from)!❤❤ that I had to get off the phone with her. I've had alot of growing in the last year with mental health ( anxiety) so I practice meditation, neuroplasticity etc. I really didn't realize how much I have changed until the other day at work when someone ask a coworker how her morning was going and she grumbled and said not good at all and I thought to myself... And you won't have a good day with that way of thinking . She is like how I used to be. She sees what the day throws at her and life will determine her mood. This was me but Thank God I'm not like that anymore. Create the mindset that you want, don't be shaken by a bad moment, don't let it ruin your day. Just move on and keep your peace. ❤
