The Power of Gratitude
When my older son was diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, my first reaction was relief - I finally knew the reason for his behavior. However, I was also overwhelmed with sadness, fear and anger. I felt sorry for my son and for myself. Like many others in similar circumstances, my question to God was "Why me?"
Through the grace of God, I am now able to focus on my gratitude. I believe God chose me to raise my son because He knew that I would give him the best I have. He will teach me to love and understand him for who he is. I am grateful that I have my son, and grateful that God chose me to be his mother.
There is power and healing in gratitude.
How can gratitude help us in our everyday lives as moms? Think about the difference you can make in your family’s life just by noticing and being thankful for all the great things they do. When you express gratitude, you show your love and appreciation. Everyone needs to feel these things every day. Sometimes as moms we feel that no one appreciates us - and it is true that moms are usually last on the list to be thanked. One way you can teach gratitude is by example. Even on the days when it seems your children or husband are doing everything wrong, find a reason to thank them. Take the time and energy to look for the good. Think about the things that your family does that deserve a “Thank you.” You might say to your husband, “Thank you for working so hard for our family," or, to your child, “I really appreciate your sense of humor - it feels good to laugh.” Expressing your gratitude helps family members to understand how it feels to be appreciated. And if they still don’t catch on, let them know when you feel unappreciated. You can also tell them how great it makes you feel when they do express gratitude.
Gratitude is a wonderful motivator when you need cooperation. When enlisting the help of my two year old, I praise him often and with enthusiasm. I let him know that he is a great helper. I know I am teaching him appreciation because he expresses it to me. The other day I brought a bunch of multi-colored roses home. For five days, at least once or twice a day, my son thanked me for the flowers.
Sometimes we get so busy and caught up in daily life that we forget to be grateful. We expect everyone to do their share without being asked. The only time anyone hears anything is when a chore has not been completed. This attitude, over the long haul, will develop very resentful and uncooperative family members.
When life is good, gratitude is easy. It becomes more challenging to be grateful when we are experiencing hard times. Financial hardship, long-term illness, the death of a loved one and marital strife can all be trying and difficult. It is hard to find anything to be grateful for. But while pain is inevitable, suffering is optional. We have a choice in how we view our circumstances. We can turn our hearts to God and trust that he has a plan for us. We can be thankful for the lessons we learn and the opportunities for personal growth and transformation. Look at all the people in this world who share the gifts they received during especially difficult times of their life. It is the painful times of my life that have made me stronger, wiser, and more loving today.
I recently attended a powerful seminar on the various levels of energy that a human being emanates. The presenter identified seven different levels of energy. The first level of energy is defined by feelings of apathy and thoughts of victimization. A person at a level two energy has feelings of anger and thoughts of conflict. As a person moves up the energy scale, their feelings and thoughts are more positive. At level seven, one would experience unconditional love and no judgmental thoughts. Only God radiates at level seven. The average person emits energy at a level of 2.5. To experience peace and joy, an in- dividual must raise his energy level to 5 or 6.
So how can we raise our energy level and open our heart to joy? One powerful way is to develop an attitude of gratitude. Look at every- one with grateful eyes. Listen to your heart and the heart of your loved ones. Speak words of affirmation every day of your life. Be grateful for your life with all its lessons and blessings. The more grateful thoughts and feelings you experience and express the more instrumental you will be in healing the world. And your outlook on life will improve in the process.
當(dāng)我的大兒子被確診為“注意缺陷多動(dòng)障礙”時(shí)，我的第一反應(yīng)就是放松——我終于知道他那些行為舉止的原因所在了。然而，我也陷入了悲傷、畏懼和憤怒的深淵。我既為兒子也為我自己感到難過(guò)。像其他很多處于相似境況的人一樣，我也禁不住要問(wèn)上帝：“為什么是我?”
由于上帝的恩惠，我現(xiàn)在可以把心思集中在感恩上了。我相信，上帝選擇我來(lái)養(yǎng)育我的兒子是因?yàn)樗嘈盼視?huì)把我最好的東西給予兒子。上帝教導(dǎo)我去愛(ài)、去理解兒子的一切。我很感激上帝選擇我作兒子的母親。
這是感恩的力量和療傷作用。
作為母親，感恩在日常生活中又能如何幫助我們呢?通過(guò)注意和感謝家人所做的一切偉大的事情，想想你能為家庭生活帶來(lái)什么變化。當(dāng)你表示感恩的'時(shí)候，就展現(xiàn)出了你的愛(ài)心和感激。每個(gè)人每天都需要這些感受。作為母親，有時(shí)候會(huì)感到?jīng)]有人感激我們——事實(shí)上也是如此，母親總是最后一個(gè)被感謝的人。你傳授感恩的一個(gè)方法就是自己樹立榜樣。即便有一天你的孩子和丈夫把所有的事情都搞錯(cuò)了，你也要找個(gè)理由感謝他們，花些時(shí)間和精力，尋找好的地方。想想你的家人所做的事情，哪些值得你說(shuō)一句“謝謝”。你可以對(duì)丈夫說(shuō)一句：“謝謝你為我們的家努力工作，”或者對(duì)孩子說(shuō)：“我非常欣賞你的幽默感——笑笑真好。”表達(dá)你的感激會(huì)幫助你的家人理解收到感激的心情。如果他們還是無(wú)法領(lǐng)悟，那就在你需要感激的時(shí)候告訴他們。你也可以告訴他們，當(dāng)他們向你表達(dá)感激時(shí)你的感受。
在你需要合作的時(shí)候，感激之情就是一股巨大的推動(dòng)力。當(dāng)我獲得我2歲兒子的幫助時(shí)，我經(jīng)常滿懷激情地表?yè)P(yáng)他。我要讓他知道他幫了我很大的忙。我知道，因?yàn)樗屑の�，所以我就要教他學(xué)會(huì)感激。幾天前，我?guī)Щ丶乙皇伾鳟惖拿倒寤�，一連五天，他幾乎每天都要說(shuō)幾次謝謝。
有時(shí)，我們過(guò)于繁忙，忙于蕪雜的生活瑣事，連感激都忘記了。我們期望每個(gè)人都能夠自覺(jué)地盡職盡責(zé)，在這個(gè)時(shí)間每個(gè)人所能聽到的就是做完活。這種態(tài)度，日積月累，在家人之間就會(huì)發(fā)展為抱怨和不和。
生活安穩(wěn)的時(shí)候，表達(dá)感激就會(huì)很簡(jiǎn)單。但是，當(dāng)我們面對(duì)艱辛的生活時(shí)，表達(dá)感激就很難了。經(jīng)濟(jì)困難，長(zhǎng)期疾病，親人過(guò)世和婚姻糾紛這些都可能讓人心煩，給生活帶來(lái)困難。這時(shí)候，甚至連找一個(gè)感激的理由都很難。雖然痛苦無(wú)法避免，但我們有權(quán)選擇是否接受痛苦，有權(quán)選擇我們?cè)撊绾慰创覀冎車沫h(huán)境。我們可以相信上帝，相信上帝會(huì)給我們做好安排的。我們感激經(jīng)驗(yàn)教訓(xùn)，感激給個(gè)人成長(zhǎng)和變化的機(jī)遇�？纯创笄澜缰械氖|蕓眾生，他們?cè)谏畹钠D難中獲得了禮物。正是生活中的那些痛苦時(shí)期讓我更加堅(jiān)強(qiáng)，更加聰明，更加熱愛(ài)今天!
最近，我參加了一個(gè)很有影響的研討班，討論的主題是人類產(chǎn)生的多級(jí)能量。與會(huì)者把能量分成7級(jí)。第一級(jí)能量是根據(jù)冷漠的感情和犧牲他人的思想而定義的;第二級(jí)能量的人懷有憤怒的感情和對(duì)抗的思想;人的能量級(jí)別越高，他的感情和思想也就更加積極。在第七級(jí)別，人就會(huì)獲得自由的愛(ài)和辨證的思想。只有上帝才能達(dá)到第七級(jí)。人類平均擁有的能量級(jí)別為2.5。要想擁有和平和歡樂(lè)，個(gè)人的能量級(jí)別必須達(dá)到5或6。
那么我們?cè)撊绾翁岣呶覀兊哪芰考?jí)別呢?如何敞開胸懷擁抱歡樂(lè)呢?一個(gè)有效的方法就是養(yǎng)成感激的態(tài)度。看下那些感激的眼神，聆聽你的內(nèi)心和你所愛(ài)的人的內(nèi)心，每天說(shuō)些肯定的話，感激你的生命所擁有的教訓(xùn)和祝福。你擁有的感激的思想和感情越多，你對(duì)社會(huì)的作用就越大，你對(duì)生命的見(jiàn)解也會(huì)更深。
