Alright now, this is not a new concept: “Develop an attitude of gratitude” – but how do you do it?<\/a><\/p>\n

It is very easy to get caught up in the negative stories and emotions of the day. There are always things happening\u00a0 – news stories, life in general –\u00a0 that can really bring you down. So how can you work on being able to let things “flow”? By flow I mean observe, respond and feel, but don’t get caught in that negative place. One great idea that I find very helpful is to write down 3 things that I am grateful for that day. By ending the day on a positive note it reminds me of all that is good in my life. That really helps to let some of the negative stuff just “flow” on by.<\/p>\n

Now these things don’t need to be big. Looking back through my journal some things I have been grateful for are puddles, sleeping in, and big, toothy smiles.<\/p>\n

Today I am grateful for close friends, good long distance plans and quiet.<\/p>\n

What are you grateful for? That’s this weeks challenge. Every night before you go to bed write down 3 things you are grateful for and start to “flow”.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
