If you’ve been reading my writings for the last several years you know how much I talk about the power of gratitude. In fact, I tend to refer to gratitude as one of those multi-purpose blockbusting feelings that can shift your whole emotional state in an instant. That fasssssst, you betcha. In fact a negative thought and feeling cannot survive in the presence of genuine gratitude. Poof! Gone. It’s just impossible to feel bad when you feel joy. That’s what genuine gratitude feels like – joy and happiness.
I love talking about gratitude AND I LOVE feeling grateful. You might not realize that in any life situation you can find something to be grateful for despite the outcome. It’s all up to you how you choose to see things. That’s how POWERFULL you are.
Last week I had a crazy busy week with clients, writing, a speaking engagement, my Radio Show and other stuff. I barely came up for air. It was great cuz I was very energized by everything. On the other hand, I was grateful for a low-key weekend. This week is much different. Much quieter with less on my plate so I can catch up work on some projects. Now, I could complain about my week being slow, the phones not ringing, blah, blah blah, right? Fuhgettabboudit. I’m so gratefull to have the space AND time to declutter, get organized, and move ahead on some pending deadlines. That’s my story! Â
So here’s my challenge to you…. ready? In the next 24 hours, deliberately look for things to be grateful for especially in those situations that feel uncomfortable, challenging or upsetting. Give it a big try, ok? Search for the blessings. Dig deep.
In my next post – I’ll share a fabulous Gratitude Exercise I’ve written about before. Stay tuned!
Let me know what you think!
