via IFTTT When’s the last time you stopped to think about…what’s right?

We’re wired to ask what’s wrong, seek what’s wrong, and identify what’s wrong. It’s a primal survival skill.

The problem is that it’s also the greatest threat to survival when it goes sideways.

When people are in the throes of #depression it’s their entire focus.

When #suicide becomes the answer, as it alarmingly grows as the 2nd leading cause of death for men under 50, it’s all they see.

Implications? Start a #gratitude practice. NOW.

Don’t wait until you need medical help for depression or suicidal ideation. Even if everything is peachy, this will only enhance your life.

It’s easy: Just ask yourself “What’s right?”

Your immediate thoughts may reject the presupposition of this question and say nothing…and that’s when you keep asking.

Something is right. Something is good. Someone loves you. I promise.

As #mentalhealthawarenessmonth comes to a close, now is a good time to pause for a second and reflect. Take stock. And please do, spread the word.

Even better: if you have a gratitude practice, what is it? What does it do for you? Please drop a comment below! ???????? http://bit.ly/2YIFFls
