The Gratitude List

Hi All!
Sorry I have been so absent lately, things are just extremely busy for me right now. I have been working with a business coach and he is helping me as a person, not just a businessman. With that being said, I want to share with you one of the exercises he has been having me do daily which I think has helped me a lot deal with the stresses of every day life. Each day for 21 days, I write down 3 things I am grateful for. That's it! Why is this important? We all tend to hold onto the negative things in life, instead of stepping back and appreciating everything that is good in our lives. I encourage you to try this, and remind yourself everything you have in your life that you are grateful for. It can be anything and everything from your health, to friends on this board, a beating heart, a roof over your head, etc. I think you can all find this helpful in reeling in the emotions that can cause us undue stress each day. Make your own list and post it here for the next 21 days. Can you commit to that?

My daily list:
1) God
2) My Family
3) My Health

Lets see yours now 🙂

Last night I watched a show about Mayra Rosales. She weighed over 1,000 lbs. and lost 800.

Today I am grateful for living in a world where ~

medical expertise is so advanced that amazing, life-saving surgeries can be performed

medical personnel show such kindness, comfort and loving touches to the person inside a body that could have repulsed them

the sweetness of children that is so life-affirming ~ Mayra's young niece saw her as a flower surrounded by petals

I am grateful for:

1. The love and company of my two cats
2. The fact that I can afford my medicine
3. That I have heat in my house.

I'm afraid that if I participate in this exercise, I'll end up gaming the system by looking for ways to "unbundle" stuff into multiple items for the list.

Thanks Cory, good to hear from you, and for the reminder to focus daily on gratitude. Today I woke up and did not feel positive, this is just what I needed.
1. This website and all the changes it has helped me with.
2. My health and Medicare
3. gaining awareness on how to replace shopping, to free up time and happiness
