- One question turned my anxiety into peace!
One question turned my anxiety into peace!
Salam friend,
There was a time when I struggled with extreme anxiety and depression.
which later turned into full-blown panic attacks.
I felt like nothing good ever happened to me.
As if I was carrying the weight of this world on my shoulders.
My mind was wired to focus only on the negative.
I was constantly comparing myself to others.
I was always in a race.
When one race ended, I threw myself into another.
And it kept going.
I was never happy with what I achieved.
I was always sad.
I was never at peace.
Until one day… I learnt how to be grateful.
And everything shifted.
I can now turn the worst days into the most peaceful ones.
I can see the good even in the bad.
I can count my blessings even when nothing is working out the way I want it to.
But how did I go from anxious to peaceful?
With just one question.
Yes , one simple question turned the tables for me:
"Am I grateful enough?"
Every time I woke up feeling sad, anxious, or low.
I’d ask myself: Am I grateful enough?
And it would instantly shift something inside me.
I’d be grateful for waking up alive. Breathing. Safe in my bed.
The thing that could have ruined my entire day…
was turned into peace with just that one question.
Every time I compared myself to others, I’d ask:
“Am I grateful enough?”
And my mind would immediately start scanning for all the things I already had
things I once desperately prayed for.
Whenever I felt anxious or overwhelmed,
I’d look outside my window and ask:
“Am I grateful enough?”
I’d see birds flying, the sky, the sun…
And I’d feel calm and grateful for being able to witness Allah’s creation.
Just one question changed everything for me.
Gratitude is the antidote to anxiety and depression.
It works like magic.
