Thanksgiving is coming soon. What a perfect opportunity to remember the importance of gratitude in our lives. Studies consistently show that those who focus on what that have are generally happier than those who focus on what they don't have. The simple, daily practice of listing at least 10 things we are grateful for in our lives (do it when you first wake up, to start the day well!) makes a huge difference in allowing us to maintain a positive focus, thus elevating our mood...in other words... we're happier! whatever we exercise becomes stronger, whether it's a muscle, a thought, a belief, an emotion, or a behavior!
So...spend some time today thinking of things for which you are grateful! Come on, surely you can come up with many things that are going right in your life. Reminding yourself of the positive aspects of your life will improve your day...and the day of everyone you come into contact with today!
