In my last post I talked about Ruth Heidrich and the book Senior Fitness. In the motivation section of her book she recommends practicing the technique of "reframing"...evaluating a situation but turning it around so you see a more objective and positive view. She says to think of the worst possible scenario of things that can go wrong in life, then to look for advantages that lie therein, because there are usually some somewhere.
She refers to the story of the boy, who, when confronted with a room full of manure, said excitedly, "There has to be a pony in here somewhere!"
I need to practice my reframing. I love ponies.
