PTSD – A Way Out.com A mindful way to heal

Feeling unworthy, lacking self worth, was not a space where gratitude was plentiful, in fact anxious fear pervaded my spirit.
.
I had no clue that gratitude was visible only with self acceptance, a calming of the critical self inquiry.
.
My flaws, vulnerabilities were a full time project, having to conceal, improve, overcome or deny, continually. Nothing quelled that nagging feeling of inadequacy.
.
My attention, dominated by worry, doubt and fear of being embarrassed, humiliated or scorned, grew stronger.
.
Gratitude had little time in an anxious life of confusion, lacking direction.
.
My mindfulness practice brought awareness of others suffering, need for necessities, the realization of how blessed I was.
.
With this wellspring of gratitude permeating my spirit, I noticed how giving attention and taking action to support others had changed my life, attitude, developing a joyful heart.
.
Now, when feelings of anger, fear, worry or doubt appear, I let them fade, and bathe in the soothing peacefulness, following my breath to this moment of life.
.
The big change is where I invest my attention, simple.
