Today I was in a slump and was really trying to turn my mood around. I already had attracted enough trouble into my life. That metaphysical 2×4 to the head reminding me to be mindful of my thoughts was still hurting my pocketbook. So in hopes that the stories on the website could be my Secret mood shifters, I went to the site and read some during my lunch hour.

Some I found pleasant, but then I read Rob’s story about choice and it brought tears to my eyes. In a flash, I realized that in my “trying” I was not allowing myself to “do.” It was really a choice and I was still choosing to mull over my situation with fear and self-recrimination rather than accepting it and making a new choice NOW. I realized that I had once again fallen into a pattern of doom thinking of catastrophes and the challenges in my life and minimize the good.

I chose to see the good in my life even in the current financial crunch I created. After all it was here to remind me to be mindful of my thoughts. Thank you so much Rob for your inspirational story.
