Is it habit?
Is it the way our brains are wired?
Are we just spoiled by having too much?
How do we forget so easily?
Every minute of every day holds something to be grateful for. Yet we forget.
When we forget, we deprive ourselves of one of the most important abilities we possess for being happy!
“BUT MY LIFE’S A CROCK!” you say. Do you want to change that? Then, you MUST stop and remember any little thing you can think of that is good in your life!
Can’t think of anything good? Impossible! You can think of something. Do this many times per day. Remember as many things as you can.
You can only think of one good thing? Then remind yourself of that one thing many times per day.
CHANGE YOUR FOCUS. The more things around you are going wrong, the greater the need for focusing on the good things, however small, that you already have in your life! This is called “The Law of Attraction.” Like attracts like. What you focus on is what you get more of.
Gratitude is like the proverbial “green thumb” — it causes more good things to grow!
TRY THIS. Every day for a week, start the day by writing down 5 things you are glad to have in your life. Don’t just think them.
Write them down — 5 people, 5 qualities, 5 places, 5 anything for which you are grateful.
Let me know what happens!
