I’d like to kick things off today with a quote from Robert Braathe:
“Gratitude and attitude are not challenges; they are choices.”
In the spirit of Thanksgiving, I’m talking about gratitude today, and how it can absolutely change your life. Gratitude is something that we can all practice, regardless of our current situations, and when we focus on being thankful, we become happier as a result.
When we appreciate everything that we already have, it puts us in a mindset of ABUNDANCE rather than scarcity. When we turn our focus off the negative and onto the positive, we call more positive things into our lives. We can then channel that positive energy into everything that we’re doing!
And I can’t speak for everyone, but gratitude just makes me plain happy! It brings me a ton of joy to pause what I’m doing and give thanks to someone else, or even just in my head. Many of the psychologists I’ve interviewed on The School of Greatness tell me that gratitude is PROVEN to create a happier life.
Here’s my suggestion for you: Don’t let gratitude be something you just do from time to time or on a holiday. Make it a RITUAL so that you can practice gratitude regularly and bring its full benefit into your life.
