Chapter 36: Adapt an Attitude of Gratitude!
"Be thankful for what you have; you'll end up having more. If you concentrate on
what you don't have, you will never, ever have enough."
Oprah Winfrey
Listen to Oprah! Be grateful for what you have every day and you will attract
more things to be grateful for. Gratitude recharges you with energy and boosts
your self-worth. It’s directly linked to physical and mental well-being. The
“attitude of gratitude” leads you directly to happiness and is the best antidote to
anger, envy, and resentment! Let it become part of your nature!
Be grateful for
what you have, for all the small things around you, and even for the things
you don’t have yet!
Don’t say:
“I’ll be grateful when…”
like I did for many years. Take the
shortcut: Be grateful NOW - no matter what - and make gratitude a daily habit:
Start the day by saying thank you for what you have (instead of complaining
about what you don't have). This will have an immediate effect on your life.
Focus on the good things that you can find every day. The following exercises
are part of every one of my coaching processes. Do them and observe what
happens.
Action Steps:
1) Make a list of everything you have in your life that you are grateful for.
Write down everything you can think of. (This should be a long list) 2) For
21 days every day write 3 to 5 things that you are grateful for, that day in
your journal. Before going to sleep relive the moments. Relive the
happiness.
