Daily Positive Thought Project- Get Your Gratitude Working

It is a natural feeling to let the focus of our thoughts run toward the negative in our lives and the world around us. We feel we have been wronged, we are suffering and that seems the most important thing in the world. What can you do?   Practice gratitude.

When you list the things you are grateful for your mindset immediately shifts into an area of thought that is much more positive.  There is always something to be grateful for, it can be your family, your car, your friends, your mind, the fact that you can see, hear, feel, and are alive to have this human experience are all things most of us can be grateful for.

It doesn’t matter what has been bothering you. Loss of a relationship didn’t get the job you wanted, lost a contest, had a bad day at work or school.  Rather than spending your focus on that gratitude allows you to move your thought and awareness to what you do have rather than what you don’t.

Take a moment right now and write down three to five things that you are grateful for today.  Hold a feeling of gratitude for each thing in your mind.  It will switch your focus to positive and open the door for more of that and less of the suffering.

In life, we are generally just about as happy as we decide we want to be.
