How to Snap Yourself Out of Misery (and Self-Pity) FAST

By: Daria Boissonnas, Certified Reconnective Healing Practitioner

We had been shoveling snow for over an hour this afternoon. It had been loads of giggles with the kids, but now the temperature was starting to drop. The wind seemed to have frozen one side of my legs and face. I was getting tired and we weren’t done.

So guess what — my thinking mind ran with those facts, off in its own direction. I thought of all the other valuable things I could be doing. And all the reasons I should be doing those things instead of this. Excuses, complaints, wishes, and guilt trips. My mind was off my work. All I could see was how much more there was to do.

Then I remembered our spiritual practice focus for this month: being of service. All you have to do is ask, “How can I be of the most service here?” And do it. This practice can snap you out of boredom, misery, self-pity, and worse. Fast.

It worked.

How could I be of most service? The answer was to lift everyone’s flagging spirits. (There was a LOT of snow!) So I joked around with my kiddos. We got silly. I helped the littler ones sled down the front steps.

The answer was to keep shoveling, and I did. Faster.

The answer was to appreciate the crisp air, the gorgeous snow, the beautiful way it looks on the pines. And I took a long moment to do that. I can see it even now as I type. I’m so glad I paused for that.

Suddenly I was having fun again. I was present in the moment. I was appreciative. And best of all, I was in service. The rest of the time skittered by quickly.
