Everyone has a wonderful life. Even if it might not feel like it right now, you always have something to be thankful for.
Learning to focus on what you should be thankful for takes you focus away from the things you wish you had and helps you relax and be happy.
This gives you the opportunity to work more single-mindedly on bringing more of the positive into your life.
Happiness
Happiness is the most important pursuit in our lives, becoming happy, calm – finding peace, serenity and feeling that your life has made a difference is what we should all be aiming for.
Your life already has meaning, you have changed the lives of everyone you have met and if you have tried to be a good person, you have probably changed their lives for the better.
Many keep themselves down by thinking about what they are sad about, by instead focusing on what you are happy about you become a lot happier.
The Gratitude List
I know that it can be hard to focus on the positive in hard times. I have been in and through hard times, financially as well as emotionally and in relationships.
For example I went through a period where I was bankrupt, completely. I was behind on my rent, my loans and in addition owed about 20 000 USD to family and friends…
It was hard to focus on the positive, but when I did things started turning around, slowly but surely.
What helped speed up the change was focusing on the positive, by making a gratitude list.
The 3 Steps of a Gratitude list:
1. Write down everything you could possibly be grateful for.
It can be anything, from your looks, your mind, your relationships, your job, school, friends, family, your possessions to the fact that you are alive!
Anything worth being grateful for, write it down.
2. Put the list beside your bed.
3. Every morning when you wake up, look at the list.
Read it through and reflect over how much good there is in your life, how much good there is for you to be happy for.
This shifts your thinking
When you start thinking about what you want your thinking starts to shift away from what you are complaining about and towards what makes life work living, it makes you happier and more focused so that you can work harder, smarter and attract more of what is good in your life into it.
