Take some time to walk through Scott Schwenk’s simple and effective “Rose Bud Thorn” Contemplation Exercise:

Rose
Write down something that is blossoming in your life. Something that feels aligned and promising. Take time with a few breaths to notice how it feels to appreciate it.

Bud
Next write down something that is budding in your life - not yet fully blooming - but definitively heading in the right direction. Something you are hopeful and happy about flourishing in the near future. Take a moment to breathe in happy anticipation of it becoming a reality.

Thorn
Finally, write down something that is challenging you to grow. Not listing anything that may be wrong with you - more something that is standing in the way of your growth. Whatever it is, take a few breaths while imagining that thing as temporary and dissolving with every exhale.

Appreciate and encourage growth in your life while giving less weight to your obstacles.

Listen to your life. See it for the fathomless mystery that it is. In the boredom and pain of it, no less than in the excitement and gladness. Touch, taste, smell your way to the holy and hidden heart of it, because in the last analysis, all moments are key moments, and life itself is grace.
