Gratitude Practice Day 15: Let's Make Up with Magic
In today's magic practice, we will find the burning coals that are scorching your life and literally turn them into gold. Choose a difficult relationship that you currently dislike and want to fix. It doesn't matter if that person is someone currently in your life or someone from your past. Sit quietly and write down 10 things you are grateful for regarding that person. Reflect on your relationship and write down their wonderful qualities or things you were glad to have experienced with them. It is easier if you recall the situation before your relationship deteriorated and fell apart. If your relationship was never good, try your hardest to think of that person's strengths.
I see, so it's about finding the good in them and being grateful.
I believe that the past is what can be changed, and the future cannot be changed.
When I say that, people sometimes look at me with suspicion, but the future is the present, so it doesn't change. You can change things, but since that is in the past tense, I think you can only change the past. I just think you only need to change how you feel about the past.
Now, let's give it a try.

Perhaps, now I think you were the person I was meant to meet at that time.
Thinking about it now, I feel like you, with your delicate and intense nature, were like the flip side of me.
I know now that I have that within myself as well.
Looking back, I think I am grateful.
I feel like I want to see you, but I also feel like I don't. Are you doing well?
I am doing well.
Writing it all out, I remember that a lot of things happened with her.
By holding me up to yourself like a mirror, I felt like I fell apart, but I also feel like I have changed significantly since then.
