I have learned over the years that our mood, mind and levels of self esteem are constantly changing and evolving. There is a temptation sometimes to take a mood snapshot and decide that our lowest point is representative of the overall picture.
The ability to take a step back from our thoughts and view them as naturally occurring highs and lows is a skill which can be learned. Meditation is a great way to alter how we feel about ourselves and is relatively easy to start, there are loads of resources online and many of them are free. I use buddanet although I wouldn't describe myself as a Buddhist (I love bacon sandwiches too much to be a veggie for a start!) but that doesn't really matter, it is still easy to practice mindfulness.
Things I a grateful for
1. I love reading but can't find the time at the moment, but there are plenty of books out there I will read when I get round to it.
2. It is Friday tomorrow which means I will have a short but really relaxing weekend.
3. I am having curry for dinner tomorrow.
Cheers
