A few years back I worked in a university building that also
housed a department full of psychologists, all of whom seemed to see us as
perfect guinea pigs(豚鼠) for their latest theories. If an eager
graduate student showed up in my office bearing desserts and asked me to pick
one, I'd cast a careful glance and ask "Why?" before grabbing the
apple pie.
So one day, when someone from the Psychology Department
posted instructions in the bathroom persuading all of us to "Think about
five things for which you're grateful every day for a week!" my response
was frankly doubtful. I did the math. Five things a day for seven days is a lot
of brainpower to expend without so much as the promise of an apple pie.
I wandered into the office of Heidi Zetzer, the director of
our school's Psychological Services Clinic. "What's with the gratitude
thing?" I asked. You don't ask an academic question-even a simple one unless you're
prepared for a long answer. Heidi came alive, and I sat down. That's when I
first heard the term "positive psychology". The gratitude thing, as I
had called it, was but one small and simple element of the practice. "Kind
of like training the brain to focus on joy," my friend Heidi explained.
"It's only a week," she urged. "Try it." I did. And guess
what? It worked.
Every day for a week, I found five distinct things for which
I was thankful. They had to be different every day. I couldn't get away with
just being grateful for my wonderful husband. But I could, suggested Collie
Conoley, another positive psychologist, express my gratitude for specific
aspects of a certain person each day. He's a great cook. He always puts our
family first.
Life will never be perfect. I still see new stories that
annoy me. The traffic in my city is maddening. I wish I could speed up my recovery.
But with just one simple exercise, I'm rediscovering the peace of that old
saying: accepting the things I can't change, working without complaint to
change what I can, and being wise enough to know the difference.
And all it took was a little gratitude.
