Gratitude

How was your week?  Would today be a good day to try and be grateful?

Grateful is defined as appreciative of benefits received; affording pleasure or contentment.  Couldn’t we stand to be reminded to be grateful from time to time?
Some days being grateful is really hard to do. 

When I feel like I am in a rut or my mood gets a bit down I like to remind myself to be grateful.  To see the world through a different lens.  A lens of gratitude.

How do I like to do that?  My favorite thing to do is to go to the camera roll on my phone and scroll through my pictures and I am reminded of the moments, memories and good times. 

I may even pair that with a gratitude walk to get a change of scenery and some fresh air.  My mood changes and I am reminded that I  have much to be grateful for. 

I then mentally or physically write down at least three things I am grateful for as a reminder to live and lead with a thankful heart.

If you ever feel like you need to adjust your attitude or perspective I would encourage you take a gratitude break.  It will help you live with appreciation, pleasure and contentment.

I’m cheering for you.
