Gratitude

 In Finding Meaning, Happiness, Intention, Mindfulness, Presence

Want the magical secret to being thankful and showing appreciation?

It’s actually very simple (notice, I did not say easy).

Shift your instinctual thinking about what is missing or threatening.

Then, practice more deliberate thinking about what you have and what’s going really well.

Recognize what you’re grateful for, acknowledge it and appreciate it.

Observe your daily life from a point of gratitude and be in awe of all the goodness you take for granted.

Start influencing attitudes and behavior more positively—your own and those of others.

Ask yourself, “Who and what do I have to be grateful for?”

Ahhh… now you reveal the bounty you already have and hold so dear.

Cultivate this life altering practice to build a better mindset—and who knows, you might be even happier.

Now is your moment. What are you waiting for?
