For the last couple of years, I had been very unhappy. Once I got pregnant, my journey to motherhood was plagued with morning sickness and my birth story was traumatic to say the least. I slipped into post-partum depression after giving birth, and all I could think and focus on was how much of a bad mother I felt like. I could never manage to see the silver lining of my dark cloud.
After beginning therapy and switching therapists a couple of times, one thing I discovered was how powerful my mind is and the key it plays in how I perceive myself, my situation, and the world around me.
After pulling through post-partum depression, the ever-present issues with my husband crept back. He had been unfaithful over the years, previously before we got married and now one year after the birth of our child. I felt like my world was unraveling beneath my feet. But somehow, with the help of a great support system and my faith in God, I managed to break free from a very unhealthy relationship and begin my life anew.
I discovered the Gratitude App during this upheaval and each day I would pray and then take time to be thankful for even the smallest things. This truly changed my mindset because it reminded me that, whatever I may be going through, I still have the capacity to be grateful for the big and the little things.
My friend Angela always says, “Have an attitude of gratitude.” I now say, “Faith it till you make it,” believing and seeing your life and knowing it will be better one day. It isn’t always sunshine and roses, but there is always space to be thankful.
Today, I am thankful for the Gratitude App and the unseen team behind it because it has truly changed my life.
