Today I Am Grateful For…

One of the most transformative practices that I share with my clients is daily gratitude. Many dismiss this as fluffy. They are missing out!

When you are struggling, it’s easy to fall into a funk and think there is nothing good in your life.

We need to create a shift and start to pay attention to all the good stuff.

Each day, either when you wake up or just before you settle down to sleep, write down three things that you are grateful for.

It can be ANYTHING! Like…

Dolly Parton, Dolphins and Norfolk Island Pine Trees!

It doesn’t matter what it is as long as it matters to you.

The important part that people often forget is that you need to feel gratitude and appreciation for what you write down.

Do this for at least 21 days, as this is how long it takes to establish a habit.

The more you do this, essentially, your brain is going get used to being asked what it’s grateful for and will start to pay more attention to the good stuff.

This is a lovely thing to do with others and is especially good for kids. With little ones, gratitude might be too big a word, so you can just ask them what they enjoyed about the day.

Keep your gratitude notebook/journal nearby, and if things feel tough, you can look back at all the things you’ve been grateful for in the past, and the chances are you’ll feel better.

We get what we focus on the most, so let’s focus on being grateful!

Give it a try, and let me know how you get on. Remember to let yourself feel the gratitude.

Big Love, Be Well
