Welcome to Day 1 of the 12 Days of Gratitude! This year's theme is the Year of You.

When we go through something, whether it’s an adverse event, challenging situation, trauma that we’ve experienced, or even if it’s just the accumulation of everything piling on top of each other...one thing is universal and that is there is a natural phase where we get angry. We become angry at ourselves, angry at others, and even angry at God, and then, we feel like the world is against us. It’s a very natural response. It’s not anything to be ashamed of.

But what happens, and we don’t even realize it, is that the anger brings it’s besties, anxiety, fear, resentment, and we marinate in all of these colorful emotions a little longer than we need to. And then, it has collateral damage...our self esteem and self worth take a hit, and we lose our confidence and our sparkle. We lose what makes us... us.
