About Me

 Well before I dive into any of these, let me introduce myself: my name is Mabel Okungbowa, I am a wife, mother of four responsible adult children, and I have Master’s degree in Nurse Anesthesiology ... basically for almost two decades, I put people to sleep during surgery and wake them up after surgery. I am opportune to work with highly educated people such as doctors, nurses, and hospital administrators. Also, on the servitude side of the healthcare business, I give anesthesia to all people of divers races and socio-economic statuses like lawyers, accountants, CEOs of different business sectors, Engineers, janitors, the poor and the rich folks. In addition, I am very humbled to say that I am the President and Founder of a nonprofit organization called Love Your Neighbor Rescue Mission International.

I am privileged to be a part of a community of people who complain and just want to blame everything and anything around their world but themselves. This has been giving me a huge concern and I have been wishing I could make everyone around me see the exact opposite (the good side) of what they are complaining about. This burden became so heavy to bear when I started working in a mental institution administering general anesthesia to those getting electroconvulsive therapy due to severe psychiatry problems. This patient population caught across every age group especially 19-70 years old; professionals like doctors, lawyers, scientists, and so on.

I started thinking deeply about what was missing in the lives of these individuals because when I interact with them utilizing psychotherapy skills, they immediately warm up to me and are happy with glowing faces. They connected with me so nicely and after few treatments, they expressed how they love me and misses me when I am off duty. Their positive comments about me being a huge source of help to their treatment outcomes spurred me even more that I could help more people in the world who get depressed due to life circumstances.

The best tool I used with my psychotherapy was emotional support and wearing the lens of gratitude. During my first encounter with these patients, they become negative and verbalized all the wrong things in their lives; I refocused their thinking processes by encouraging them to focus on being grateful for the blessings in their lives and many said to me “Mabel you are right.” Immediately, they calmed down and we proceeded with their treatments, and they usually have positive outcomes. Also, I frequently admonish my coworkers who constantly express their negative thoughts about their work, people, and management; I refocus their thoughts and help them to count their numerous blessings.

They finally agree with me and become happy at the end of our conversations along with the expression of gratitude. Fast forward, one day, I woke up with a nagging feeling, deep thoughts about my patients and with a huge question: “what is the missing ingredients in the lives of this patient population and in the lives of these co-workers who show up to work daily and frustrated with life?” “What do I have that they do not have irrespective of their social statuses?” The answer was obvious to me ... AUTHENTIC Gratitude…that same CONCENTRATED gratitude that makes me always at peace, happy, and feel contented with my career, relationships, family and personal desires. Endless open doors that is making me live a blessed life ... that gave birth to Gratitude Revolution 4 Life. In retrospect as I reminisced over my life, I realized that my husband and daughter have always called me a good counsellor because I have helped others over the years to work through life challenging situations that would have destroyed their jobs, health, families, and other close relationships. I was so passionate about helping these people and I was well fulfilled that I could help them through the power of CONCENTRATED GRATITUDE. AND, I can help you too.
