Have you ever felt so stuck in a heavy mood that it felt like a thick blanket you could not escape? Many of us are taught that we must face our problems head on. We believe we have to study our pain and figure it out before we can be happy. But what if the secret to finding peace is much simpler? What if the secret is just looking somewhere else?

I remember a time when my life felt like it was falling apart. A long relationship had ended. I had lost my home and my job all at once. I moved back to my parents’ house and felt like a total failure. My mind was a storm of sadness and fear. There was no hope in sight. When you are in that kind of deep despair, trying to fix your thoughts feels impossible. The negative momentum is just too strong. It is like trying to stop a train with your bare hands.
