Good Morning!
About 9 yrs ago , I started to really study the power or gratitude. It started when I watched “The Secret”. As with any lesson, I took the pieces that I really connected to, and began to add them into my life. Gratitude was number one. I had been keeping a gratitude journal for years before that ( per Oprah), which consisted of me every night, diligently writing my 5 things I was grateful for. I totally believe in this process, and watched it really help me to redesign my outlook on a lot of things. For me, this was just the first step. Writing down what I was grateful for ( not what I hoped and wished for but gratitude for what I already have) helped me ( and continues to) to fill the holes of my everyday. The moments I am feeling sad, or alone or overwhelmed, a quick fix for me, (that, lets be honest, doesn’t work every time, but I would say 80%) is thinking of something right then and there that I am grateful for. It helps to switch my perspective so quickly.
I kind of feel like getting a hold of “gratitude” is like working out a muscle..the more you do it, the better you get.
I am grateful for our friendship!!
