A grateful heart is a happy heart. It's so easy to take things for granted: the information your coworker sent you the fact that your car is running, and even the food you're eating for dinner. The fact is, most of us have gotten into the habit of ignoring all of the good things in our lives. Instead, we focus our mental and emotional energy on being upset about what's wrong and what we don't have. Yes, cultivating an "attitude of gratitude" might sound cliche, but it is important to your overall health and well-being. Studies have actually shown that thankful individuals are 25% healthier than their counterparts! To start tapping into the power of gratitude, simply say "thanks" to the people who help you or smile at you or offer a compliment throughout your day.
Action Step - Find a wide-mouth jar with a lid and each day write down a single "I'm grateful for _____" statement. Fold it and place in the jar. At the end of the week, month or year, empty your jar and read all the things you have to be grateful for. You will be pleasantly surprised!
