Free Therapy• God Box & Gratitude Journal
Hola beautiful people, hope you’re having a good week so far. I’ve had a rough night and morning with Mr. Flickerbug who decided to get the sniffles then throw up all over me #goodtimes #mommyproblems #sickbaby. Hopefully he doesn’t get a full blown cold and feels more like himself soon, poor thing.
Anyhoo I’m back with another installment of my new STOMP ON DEPRESSION’S HEAD! series where I’m sharing techniques I use to BUST up depression’s plans to drag me down *pa-pow take that devil!*. In this video I share my nifty little God Box idea and talk about gratitude journals.
Enjoy:
I checked and Amazon.com has several resources about gratitude journals that could be helpful. Also, if you don’t feel like making your own God Box like I did, you could grab a decorative box or suggestion box and tweak that to your liking!
Update: I’ve been using my rhythmic music and dance technique every morning when I come downstairs to feed my son and it’s definitely helping. I just turn my tablet to a preset station on Pandora and dance around while I get our breakfast ready, unpack the dishwasher, and whatever other chores I need to do. Woohoo!

Thank you so much for the box idea! I have so much stuff (chaos) going on in my head that I need my own traffic light. Maybe if I write it down, it will help declutter my thoughts.
About the dancing…sigh…my boys behave like I am committing a crime against their eyes. They are like “mommy, nooooo!”, “what are you doing?”, “that’s not how you dance”..HATERS I say, HATAS!!

Don’t let the mini haters win.

I love the God box idea, and even thought of a twist to it–instead of putting your worries, it could also be a box that holds your hopes and dreams that you hope God will helo you achieve. I found this wonderful story on Real Simple magazine: http://www.realsimple.com/work-life/family/relationships/inside-god-box-00000000045743/page3.html
Giving thanks is so important, I don’t have a gratitude journal but I have made gratitude lists in the past. Been going through a rough patch for a while and I am so inspired by your positivity. Will put these suggestions into practice.

I love this Roshni and I just shared it on my blog. I’ve been using my affirmation jar all weekend and it truly does offer relief. It’s almost magical! Thank you again!
