Five Things to Ask Yourself about Bookends

My husband and I enjoyed a discussion about bookends last night after he read my blog post. Our conversation was based on these five questions:

1. Right now, are you in a place of joy, up against a challenge (sorrow, anger, depression, etc.) or are you somewhere in between the bookends?

2. What is a challenge you face today?

3. Can you name three things you are grateful for at this moment? If so, what are they?

4. What are the names of three people or pets that bring you joy? Say them out loud.

5. Considering that gratitude and joy, does your feeling about your challenge(s) change? If so, describe that feeling.

After this exercise, chances are you are in a better place than you may have thought you were five minutes ago! ENJOY!
