What you look for, you will find.
I really believe that. And not just as a mindset thing. Physiologically, your nervous system is wired to find exactly what it has been trained to look for. Scan for everything that is hard and heavy? You will find it every time. Start looking for what is good, what is working, what is beautiful right now in this exact season? You will find that too.
And here is the part that stopped me in my tracks when I really sat with it.
Gratitude is not just something you feel when life is going well. It is something that actually changes your nervous system's baseline. It lowers cortisol. It activates your parasympathetic nervous system, your rest and heal state. It reduces inflammation. It improves sleep. It gives you more capacity for everything.
Your body responds to where your attention lives.
Philippians 4:8 has been on my heart so much lately. "Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable, think about such things."
Paul wrote that from prison. Not from an easy season. From one of the hardest. And still he said, look for what is good. It is there.
This is one of the reasons I am so passionate about nervous system focused chiropractic care. When your nervous system is regulated and the interference is removed, accessing gratitude and presence and joy is so much easier. You are not fighting your own biology to get there.
You deserve to feel the good things fully. Not just survive them.
Try this tomorrow morning before you pick up your phone. Name three things that are good. Not perfect. Just good. Do it for two weeks and pay attention to what shifts.
What you look for, you will find. 🤍
