Reaching a plateau in my running has left me disappointed and doubting myself quite a bit lately, but I think this is also teaching me something I can’t be sure what. Maybe I just need to have deeper longing and “seize the day” when I improve. I will keep working and see what lessons I can learn on the way. That’s what life is. A spiritual school.
Being challenged financially and physically has led to a deeper understanding of what others go through on a daily basis and a gratitude for their courage.
The gift is actually finding happiness. I am so grateful that my life path ha led me to grow closer to myself, to love myself and the creations of life more every day. Today, I was guided to this wonderful group, the next piece of the journey of life that I am so blessed with. Thank you for being here so that I can take part. I have been asking the Creator for support for fostering more gratitude.
The challenge is old habits and addictions. These may be a gift if I am strong enough to face up to the challenge. The final gift will be a life free of these challenges.
The gift in my chronically challenging situation is that I am teaching in a catholic school and that is the gift. The gift of faith. The gift of prayer and the gift of Mass and the Eucharist at work.
A gift in my challenging adventure is the gift of commitment and dedication to have established new health goals. Another gift in my journey is the gift of enforcement to carry out initiated goals and the gift of reinforcement to continue to drive my wants to reach my goals. A gift I most appreciate is the gift of support from family, friends, and everyday people I see in my environment like the gym. I appreciate their awareness of my progress even at times when I don’t recognize it.
The energetic origin and spiritual implications of diabetes is aptly described as “a house divided”. What would it take for me to end my commute, integrate my family, and be “home for supper every night”? What would I have to part with for this to become my new reality?
the gift of awareness, that I am the one, who can choose to change or grinding the pattterns deeper….
til I realize I cannot grind it without mother earth is affected by; and I am a part of this earth.
My body has become dis-eased and I am in the process of healing. There are many gifts here to be had. The biggest one is a new found love of life. I savor every moment. I appreciate so much more and find joy in the moment. I am truly blessed because I have been given a second chance at life.
In chronically challenging situations in close relationships, I need to take responsibility for the good development and outcome of conflicts, in friendships as well as in loving relations. It calls to widen my heart as well as my perspective. To integrate different points of views, to respect the other´s feelings and my own as well while dealing honestly and humbly with what is in the given moment, and responding accordingly.

Such a process, undergone with care, kindness and respect, might hopefully be stabilizing trust, loyalty and faith in the relationship, so that the gift, which lies inside of every relationship and which I feel is peace and love, may rule again.
Although these situations are not at all easy to be transformed, I feel these huge gifts inside of one-to-one relationships are essential to be processed and realized. Based on love and respect, networking with many is joyful and might be opening doors to transforming as well chronically challenging situations into direction of healing and peace, in society as well as on our suffering blue planet.
The gift to be fully present in each moment and true to my pathway in life, especially when the path takes a new direction.
Giving up…it may allow me to open up to greater possibilities.

Hello Therese, I am with you in this and grateful for your reflection here.
Forging an indomitable mind. Dusting suckers off left and right with digital daggers so to speak will make me strong and brave.

Welcome. This community has been of great help to me

Self care
Self accountability
Letting go, hence freedom

Learning to live the Serenity Prayer to heal my chronic worry for my children and the meanness that is permeating our world…
The energetic origin and spiritual implications of diabetes is aptly described as “a house divided”. What would it take for me to end my commute, integrate my family, and be “home for supper every night”? What would I have to part with for this to become my new reality?
The practice of detachment, of letting go of what is not mine to control.
the gift of awareness, that I am the one, who can choose to change or grinding the pattterns deeper….
