Healing Myself

Ep. 47: It's giving...thanks.


Listen Later

December is almost here. The year 2022 is finally coming to an end. The Thanksgiving season is just the perfect time to take a step back and ask yourself, “What are the things that I am grateful for?”

In this episode, we honor the progress that we’ve made this year by taking a look back at where we are last year and where we are now. How did we get here? What lessons have we learned along the way? Listen as you ask yourself: what am I thankful for? 


WHAT TO LISTEN FOR

A look back on Fall 2021: there’s always something to be thankful for [04:13]

  • What are your answered prayers?

  • Where challenges and struggles have you successfully dealt with? 

  • Are you still where you were in the previous year? 

  • Where is your gratitude coming from?

  • What are the things that challenged your family? Your faith? 

The importance of therapy—all kinds of therapy [08:04]

  • Somebody can help you through those feelings 

  • Getting rid of feelings that are detrimental to your relationships 

  • How do you maintain your wholeness when you are in a relationship? 

  • Choosing to show up and to do the work in relationships

Doing things right for the right reasons [12:15] 

  • Doing it because you want to be a good person, not because you get something in return 

  • Becoming less selfish in dealing with relationships 

  • Loving more freely 

Navigating through the haze [22:51]

  • Centering yourself to feel gratitude amidst trying times 

  • Let it out—write or cry about it, whatever you need to process your emotions 

  • You are much different that who you used to be 

Things aren’t perfect, they probably won’t ever be, but you’re here, but you’re continually trying—that’s something to be thankful for!
