Whatever gets you through the day

I TO AM THANKFUL FOR ALL MY BLESSINGS & I have many. Most people do if they would just stop & count them. I am blessed w/two sons & two grandchildren. I think of them often every day. I THINK OF MY FRIENDS, SOMEOF THEM ARE SICK, MY FRIENDS ON MYLOT HELP PASS EACH DAY PLEASANTLY. I have alot to be thankful for, hope u do to.

what get me through the day, i would have to say my wife, kids, and grandkids. they are the reason why i get up every day and face the all the pain i deal with. if it wasnt for them i wouldnt really care if i woke up or not

Whenever I have something I'm worried about all it takes is one phone from or to my fiance, and I tell him what is bothering me or what I am worried about. Talking it over with him always helps me get past it. And daily, I am thankful for having a wonderful family, healthy and happy daughters and a beautiful granddaughter. I have my health and am still able to do what I love, my job, wildland firefighting. I am also thankful everytime I get a phone call from my fiance after he has been on a fire assignment, he is a structural firefighter. Since we are in different states at the moment, he always calls me if he is paged out to a fire, and then when he returns safely to the station. I agree with you that not enough people stop and think about all the blessings they have in their lifes.

I do what I can can ask God to do what He can. Turning my troubles over to him--after I've done my best--is a great stress reducer and I know everything will come out for the best. I, too, count my blessings. I begin the day with praise and end it with prayer. Works for me, keeps my morale up and makes all my problems seem smaller. I say short prayers throughout the day, mostly of thanks, and that really reinforces my conviction that my life is a good one. Sometimes, though, I really get down and everything gets to me. Then I have to have a good cry and a heartfelt talk with God. Then I play with the dogs. Those 3 actions are magic and always make me feel I can get back on my feet and keep fighting.

The possibility of a bright future gets me through the day. I am happy to have a supportive family, good friends, and a love in my life. The future in general is what gets me going.

What gets me through my day? My children. I'm blessed to have such beautiful, strong, healthy little girls. They make me smile every day, even though I can be fuming mad at them, and inspire me to better myself. Also, my friends and family help me through my days as well. When the world seems like it's out to get you, they are who you can rely on to help make your worries and cares drift away, if only temporarily.

everyday we have something new to worry about and that is life. but also everyday we learn few more things that can make life worth living. in a very stressful day i usually lay down on bed and give myself an alone time. juts a few minutes to be with myself alone. then i will talk to my wife and play with our child. my wife and my child means the world to me. they are the reason why life is more fun living. yes there are problems and stuggles but it gets more easy to be through it if you hold the hands of people you care for. counting are blessing is one of a good thing to do as well. by realizing how blessed you are the more you appreciate life.

That is called ambitions for life. If we are happy with watching food on our table or having a roof above our head then we will be the same in our whole life but if we think ahead and think about having a big house and car then our mind will be thining a lot towards fulfiling our dreams, isn't ti? But for that you will have to be worried most of the time because unless and until we are worried we will not concentrate on our target, can we? So, the choice is ours, be happy with whatever we have or be worried of getting more and more for our life. For me, I am worried because I want to have more and more for my life.

The only way for me to get through the day is to simply focus on finishing the taks at hand and so fort. and not to mention praying when things doesn't go well as planned.. I just motivate myself and pray that i get to finish in a day even though there are times i find completely impossible.

When I was younger I had gratitude journal, and I used to write down the good things that happened each day and the things that I was grateful for. I don't do that any longer, but I still make a gratitude list inside my head when I wake up and when I go to bed. Some years I decided to write down all the things in my life that I was grateful for from the smallest things to the big things. I wrote about my family, my friends, my pets and my health. I also wrote ablout having a place to live, having food to eat, having learned to read and write, sunshine, nature etc etc. I still add things to the list, and so far I have about 600 things. If I am sad or very worried I sometimes look at the list and it makes me see things in a more postive light.

Kelly- I have unique phrases that mean a lot to me posted throughout my house at eye level. They are there for me to see if I happen to have one of those days where worry decides to rear its ugly little head. I would offer that perhaps if you find those little quotes or sayings that are uplifting to you, you could put them on your fridge where you're going to see them on a regular basis. The other thing I do is deep breathing. Deep breathing can help restore oxygen levels and reduce stress, and is very good for helping me to refocus. You want to bring the air in deep pushing your belly out as you do so, then on the exhale imagine pullying your belly button to your back, as you relax your abs your breath will come back in naturally. I do this for a count of 20 times. Namaste-Anora

What gets me through the day - thinking that I have it far better than most people - knowing that fact gets me through the day. Life is not the easiest right now - but it could be worse. Being grateful for what I have and looking forward to getting to those that I want. Definitely the little blessings in life - like you've already stated. Though I must add - coffee definitely gets me through the day. The day can't even start without coffee. =P Cheers!

The first thing that helps me to get through a day is my son.. He is my inspration, to get through even the roughest days... Right up there along with him would have to be my faith in God. If it was not for his graces, I would not have the roof over our heads or the other things that we need to have to make it through each day.. The n it is three ladies in my life that have been there for me through it all...the good, the bad, and the ugly... And if I am having a really hard day, I talk to one of the or all of them and it makes me feel a lot better... Also I have a boyfriend that has really started to show his true self, and I really look forward to talking to him at night....he is a truck driver, so normally during the day he is driving, and the company that he works for really frowns on him for talking on the phone, even with a hands free device...
