[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 658506, member: 13542"] I was just thinking about a phrase I've heard every now and again, "what you focus on expands." I noticed when I was busy focusing on others, on what is toxic in my life, my daughter, problems, the past, tomorrow, the hurts, whatever it was, that light of concentrated attention kept me stuck in it...... As it is so often said, focusing on what we're grateful for, works........it isn't positive thinking, it's training the mind to stop it's relentless, perpetual, continual, repetitive, conditioned and habitual thinking. I've been practicing focusing on ME and what is working in my life, what is good, what is positive and loving, what feels good...... (and believe me it IS a practice!)........... [I]and it works.
