I’ll tell you what’s so great about gratefulness…..

Gratefulness

• fills up your heart and your soul and your mind                                                                     
• keeps you in the present, not in the past or future
• allows you to focus on all of the gifts in your life instead of the lack
• makes you see and feel all of the good
• brings more goodness into your life
• makes you feel positive and uplifted
• gives you an optimistic attitude
• has you see the glass as half full rather than half empty
• creates appreciation of even the little things
• is like a magnet and attracts others to you
• helps you to have a much lighter attitude towards everything else that happens
• gives you an attitude of expectancy–you can’t wait to see what other good will come into your life next
• endorphins gets produced in your body when you think about being grateful

If I could suggest any life coaching tool to help you be happier in your life, it would be to write in a gratitude journal daily.  We all know that something suggested by Oprah must be great.  Something magical happens when you start out your day and end your day thinking of three things for which you are grateful–just three, that’s all.  Instead of celebrating Thanksgiving only one day of the year, what if you were to celebrate it every day.  Try it and see what happens.  I’m sure you will see it is GREAT to be GREATful.

Happy GREATfulness to you!
