In their first books Ester and Jerry start channeling a being (or actually they say a group of beings) called Abraham. Abraham presents us with a set of tools they call Processes. As I stated in a recent post, I created this tribe with the specific idea in mind to discuss these tools and the tools set forth in Lynn Grabhorn's book. So here I am going to present the first of the 22 Processes, which is called the Rampage of Appreciation. I am going to quote the book mentioned in the subject line here, page 143, just the first paragraph or so, then let's discuss using this tool here.

"Begin by looking around your immediate environment and gently noticing something that pleases you. Try to hold your attention on this pleasing object as you consider how wonderful, beautiful, or useful it is. And as you focus upon it longer, your positive feeling about it will increase.
Now notice your improved feeling, and and be appreciative of the way you feel. Then, once your good feeling is noticeably stronger than when you began, look around your environment and choose another pleasing object for your positive attention."

This of course is just two paragraphs out of a whole chapter, but it is the gist of the exercise, so feel free to try it and if you can get a hold of the book, even if it is just at the Library, you can get an idea of where these games/tools/exercises can take us. I used to be the sort of person who was deeply depressed and these tools really helped me to learn that I DO have some control over what I am thinking and thus over what I am feeling. I truly never knew that up until just a few years ago! I'll explain more about me personally in another thread.
